When called before Judgi Cocke to answer for the offense yes terday his lady friend, Ophlmstcr Thomas, was loth to prosecute her Colin .and Said she did not think he meant to shoot her although the bul let found It way Into her best danc ing foot. Judge Cocke has little patience with pistol shooting as a side attrac tion to a dance, and told Colin he could go out on the roads for eight months nnd Improve his ulm with a pick. Colin thought badly of the sen tence and appealed. His bond was fixed ut $200.
