III WHICH MiiIar was wounded ana MS |
antagonist killed. The gentleman in
Bullionville incloses Millar's letter, and |
suggests the publication, from that
source, of the leading points of the oc-
currance. Millars letter is dated Salt
Lake, Nov. 2S, in which he says: That
on the Sd of November he was assailed
by desperate, and had to kill him in
self-defense. Millar received injuries
which laid him up until the 25th Of the
month, when he was carried down stairs
to stand his trial, and was acquitted with
out difficulty. One ball fired by Milar
went through the heart of his antagonist,
two within an inch of each other, under
the right nipple, and one through the
wrist after he fell, which entered the
groin and ranged up through the body.
Millar says if the others pistol had been
good one, he would have been killed,
as his hand, which received the first
shot, was on his left breast, but the ball
did not pass through it. His antagonist
fired first. He says the wound he re-
ceived would not have amounted to any
thing if he had received proper treatment,
but the piece of his coat which was forced
in with the ball was allowed to remain in
the wound after the ball was extracted.
He would have gone to Salt Lake sooner
if he had been able to travel. He has
been informed by a physician that his
treatment was very bad, and fears are
entertained that he will lose his hand.
The name of the man killed is not given.
FALL OF WALL.-In the rear of and
attached to Mott, Fish & Co. S store on
Meadow Valley street, an excavation has
been made for the purpose of storing
| portion of the large stock of that firm.
The sides of the excavation had been
walled up, rafters put up, and was about
being rooted in. A day or two ago it
was noticed that the wall on the east
side seemed to be bulging out. Yester-
day morning clerk in the store exam
ined the wall and found that it was in a
worse condition than before. He called
Mr.. Fish's attention to it, and both were
about going to the rear when the former
noticed the mortar dropping from the
wall. He gave the alarm and both gen.
tlemen beat hasty retreat getting out
of the way just in time to save them
selves from being buried in the ruins.
A carpenter was on the roof, but ran to
the rear and made good his escape. The
wall which fell was that put up during
the late cold snap, and it is supposed the
mortar had been frozen. The falling of
the wall necessitates its rebuilding, and
that, together with the delay which must
result will entail loss of not less than
81 200. 1t was fortunate that no one
was in range of the mass when it fell
and that no goods had been stored in
the storehouse.
