Desperate Shooting Match ON the

About the beginning of last August,
| two discharged California volunteers,
Albert HI. Haws and Thomas Dunn, met
in bar-room in one of the new Western
towns springing up on the line of the
| Pacific railroad, and had an alteration
about the wife of Haws, the latter charg-
ing Dunn with slandering his wife, Dunn
asserted his innocence, but Haws main
| tanned that he was guilty. As Dunn ap-
preached the bar, Haws drew his revol-
yer and shot him in the back and killed
him.
Haws escaped and came to Granville,
a Mormon settlement about, thirty-eight
miles from this city, at the southwest end
Of the lake. ~
On Saturday last Deputy Sheriff,
Joseph f. Carrigan, arrived from Ne
vada after Hsws, and applied to the
United States Marsha for aid The Gov
ernor of Nevada was to make a requisi-
ton for Haws, but as the document had
not arrived Chief Justice c. c. Wilson
issued warrant for his arrest, and for
the Marshal to hold him in custody until
the proper authority was received for
transferring the murderer from Utah to
Nevada. as,rs.s "a 80 r9~r
On Monday morning, early, Story and
Carrigan presented themselves at Haws'
residence, and caught him unarmed in
the corral adjoining his house. They
told him their business, and at the same
time drew their pistols upon him and
ordered him to throw up his hands. He
objected to the situation, but finally
complied Story returned his pistol to
his pocket, got from Carrigan the hand
cuffs, and approached Haws with the in
tention of handwriting him. while Carri-
gan still kept the pistol drawn on the
murderer. Haws was wiry, quick des-
perado, and evidently comprehendlng
that his last effort Tor freedom was then
or never, he dashed away the handouts,
and swore he would not wear them

at the same instant Haws sprang for
