, SHoT.-A difficulty occurred n front
of the Carson Theater about shutdown
yesterday afternoon, between T. B.
Winston and John Q. \. Moore (of the
firm of Moore & Parker, in which
Hank Sherwood, Deputy Sheriff, re-
ceived a broken thigh while trying to
prevent serious results. Promising
that there is considerable discrepancy
between the statements of the princi-
pals to the difficulty, as related to us,
it appears that during the progress of
the carnival at Moore & Parker's hall
the night previous, two little step-sons
of Winston, in company with other
boys, were peeping through the key
holes and windows of the hall, when
Moore happened alongand struck one
of Winston's boys, among others.
Meeting Moore on the sidewalk at the
hour named, Winston accosted him
about it, when a difficulty followed.
Sherwood happened to be standing
near at the time, and, seeing Winston
strike Moore with a 6-shooter across
the side of the face and ear and then
jump back and cock the weapon, rush
ed in and grappled with the armed
party. The officer grappled Winston
by the collar with his right hand, and
with the left seized the pistol by the
barrel and depressed it, and at that
moment the weapon was fired, the
ball striking Sherwood IN the thigh,
a tew inches below the groin, crushing
through the muscle, breaking the
thigh bone, and, glancing downward
now but a thin sheet of lead), lodged
next the skin in the outer portion of
the thigh, some six inches below the
point of entrance Sherwood also re-
ceived a painful cut across the palm of
the left hand, terminating near the
thumb, whether by the passage of the
ball or by the pistol being drawn
through his hand. is not known. Drs.
Thompson and Waters we're called in
and gave him all the relief that skill
ful surgery and medicine could give.
shooting OF Sherwood was purely
accidental, and no one could regret
the occurrence more than Winston,
the two being on the most intimate
terms of friendship.
