THE LATE SHOOTING At THE TURNER
HOUSE.

regard to some of the particulars, and
to-day publish the facts of the case. II
appears that Cllas. Murry, who had
been serving in the capacity of waiter
at the hotel, had been discharged, and
had uttered at different times severe
threats against Mr.. Turner. for whom
he had been working. Night before
last hurry was in the house. and was
abusing and threatening i'm his usual
manner, when Il man named Dennis
Murphy entered, and commenced
abusing Mr.. Turner for presenting to
him a bill for collection. hurry had
taken Il seat by the stove, and hin,cd
to those that were near him that there
was going to ba Il fight. and he wanted
the crowd to stand in for Murphy. who
had drawn Il revolver on Mr.. Turner.
Not expecting this, and being wholly
anprepared. Mr.. Turner lodged be-
hind the bar of the saloon and secured
a pistol which was lying underneath.
Murphy had put his pistol away, but
as Turner reappearcd drew it again,
when Turner fired at him. Murphy
fell in front of the bar. Thinking he
shot the man, Turner came from be-
hind the bar, and was surprised to see
Murphy unhurt. Falling down was
only a strategic movement to cvade
the shooting. Turner fired again, but
missed the object of his aicl, and the
officers, who had arrived bv this time,
arrested both Murphy and hurry, and
not Mr.. Turner, as we stated Vester-
day, who acted only in self-defense.

OF stealing a quantity of sheep meat
from a butcher in that place, does not
agree with Sheriff Sullivan on the adj
visibility of prisoners earning their
grub, and when called upon to work
with the o.her prisoners, who are grad
ing the streets, refused to do so. He,
however, accompanies the gang, and
stays with them while they are work:
but n would take him for the boss"
as he stands inspecting the labor of his
competitions, and volunteering his sug-
"estions i'll regard to the work being
done.
