On Sunday afternoon an ARRAY oc-
Cured at the County Hospital between
an Inmate OF that institution (Owen
ferguson) and the cook Robert ASH,
resulting in the death of the latter and
the Incarceration of the former. About
. O'Clock in the afternoon high words
passed between the parties, when E. S.
Williams, the Hospital Steward, inter-
fered and sent the patient to his room
and the cook to the kitchen. Suisse
quently, it was believed by some of the
inmates that Ferguson had pistol, and
the steward searched him, but found no
weapon. 1t appears, however, that
Ferguson had small knife in his coat
sleeve, and with that did his deadly
work. The steward keeps on hand set
of surgical instruments, and Ferguson
surreptitiously obtained access to the
box OF instruments and took therefrom
surgical instrument about two and
u half inches in the blade, with a
handle about three ana half inches
long. The knife was very sharp, the
back of it thick and heavy, and the
handle small, SO that if deyterously used
as in this case, it could be made to do
destructive work. After the apparent
settlement of the difficulty the parties
met in the hall, and the stabbing there
occurred in the presence of the steward
and several OF the inmates. The latter
of course were not in condition to cope
with convalescent of Ferguson's physi-
cal power, and when the steward inter-
fered Ferguson threw him one side. The
steward then got his derringer, and
bringing it to bear upon Ferguson CON-
PEELED him to yield. The steward imme-
diately arrested the fellow and brought
him to Jail, where he was locked up.
DIR. Deal, the County Physician, was
called, and went at once to the relief of
the injured man. 1t was fonnd that he
had received thirteen wounds in the
head, face, side and abdomen, several of
them being apparently mortal. About
1890 p. IN. on Sunday Ash died. Ferg-
uson is native of Ireland, aged about
AZ years, and is by occupation a miner.
While working in the Meadow Valley
mine some nine months ago he had his
arm and leg injured so that he was dis
abled, and he was taken to the hospital
for treatment. He had almost recovered,
being able to be about the place, and
only limping little. He is looked upon
by those who know him as a bad man
The charity of the State in providing for
him in his misfortune has been requited
by the commission of the greatest crime
against the law-murder. Robert Ash,
the deceased, has been cook at the
hospital some time; he was an English.
man by birth, and aged about Sc years
DR.. Deal, the Coroner, summoned r.
Manning, /. S. Mason, III. r. Breakey,
Z. Thompson, NJ. Arnold and T. j.
johnson as jury, and after hearing the
testimony of witnesses, verdict was
returned showing that deceased was
named Robert Ash, native of England,
aged about Sc years; that he came tc
his death from wounds inflicted by Over
Ferguson.
