early adjournment that there was SO
much dillydallying over everything
that he expected the session to be pro-

Shooting In Helena.

a special dispatch to the MINER yesterday
states that a shooting ARRAY occurred in Hell
cna on Friday night, in which a man named
Ted Sweeney was shot by Bob HARDWOOD.
The bullet took effect in Sweeney's arm, pro-
ducing a painful and dangerous wound. 1t
is alleged that HARDWOOD was drunk al the
time he did the shooting, and that the firing
was caused by the ~latter's attempt to go be-
hind the bar to procure liquor, which Sweeney
ordered him not to do. Up to yesterday noon
Harwood had not been arrested. The bone
of Sweeney's arm was shattered, the ball
ranging upwards towards the shoulder. At
the time the dispatch was sent yesterday
afternoon, the missile had hot been extracted,
though the doctols were still probing the
wound.
