two o'clock, G. w. Brown and Maj.
o. j. Smith, editors and propriet0rs OF
the Saturday E'Celsillg Gazette, We're
shot by Erwin Erney, day police
man, under circumstances of the most
unprovoked character, Maj Smith was
returning from dinner to his. office and
as he passed the corner of Third and
Main, Erney assaulted him with q
billy. Stunned and bewildered by
the blow, Smith ran out into the midi
die of the street, Erney following him
up and dealing him several more
blows before he reached the opposite
side. BY this time Smith succeeded
in drawing his pistol, and attempted
to shoot, but missed fire. Erney then
iumpted behind . lamp-p0st, drew a
large navy revolver, and fired at
Smith, Smith firing about the same
time, Erney's shot taking effect in
Smiths leg. Erney started across
the street, and meeting Mr.. Brown,
who had at that time reached the
ground, again drew his revolver and
fred at Brown, the shot taking effect
in his breast, producing, it is feared, a
mortal wound. The most intense ex-
element prevailed. +,,~rbs !.
