John Larson Shoots Himself While IN u
FIT Of DeliriMDt Tremens.
John Larson, who keeps saloon at the
corner of First street and Franklin avenue
south, shot himself in the head with re-
volver, last night, while in a fit Of the de-
lirium tremens. Larson has been drinking
very hard of late, and in the past two months
has had five attacks of the Jim jams, each one
being more severe than the one previous.
During these attacks Larson has imagined
that some one was going to shoot him, and
last evening, just previous to blowing out his
brains, he remarked that he would get ahead
of them this time, and selling his revolver
before any of those present could reach him,
he placed the revolver close to his head and
fired the fatal shot.
DIR. Ames was called and did all in his
power, but gave as his opinion that Larson
would die before morning.

The Bl'lGiSerS' F'estieak.

Two young bruisers whose names could
not be ascertained, met in the alley III the
rear of Coykendall's notion store, between
Second and Third avenue north, last night,
and INDUCED in a fight according to the
rules of the P. r. The men fought for over
half an hour, and at the close of the mill
both of the contestants presented sickening
appearance, being pounded and battered up
in first class manner. The clerks in Coy.
kendall's witnessed the entire fight, but were
so delighted with the performance that the
fight was about over when they sent word to
the police station. A posse of officers was al
once sent to the scene, but the friends of the
fighters had taken them away. It is probable
that the principals in the dis9raceful pro.
ceedings will be arrested in the morning,
although last night their names could not be
ascertained.
