lively encounter at Salt Lake CITY Sun
day morning which resulted in the
shooting of n mother-in-law and broth
er.in-law by the husband Of the old
lady's daughter. The son-in-law, il np-
apears, whose name is Emmett Keene, is
brutal fellow and whips his wife. Sho
becoming tired of the regular custiga-
tlons went to her mothers residence
for protection, and was followed by
heene. Being refused admittanco 10
the house, the irate husband smashed
III the door and presented u pistol 10
the head Of his wifc's brother. The
old lGGy, who was also present, took in
the situation Mt Il glance, and immedi-
ately fired big bottle OF spirits of
camphor ut the ruflian, which knocked
him out OF time, and his shot only
wounded young Liljenquist in the
shoulder. Having by this time
recovered from the effects of
the camphor, Keene fred an-
other shot which broke young Lii
Jenqrist's wrist, md then turned his
attention to the old lady, shooting her
through the arm and nlso wounded her
i'll the forehead. Two shots were fired
by Liljenquist after the departing hero
