On Tuesday morning when the
omnibus was returning from the ten
O'Clock train and had reached De-
Mars corner, Po' iceman Robt. Jones,
who was standing on the sidewalk in
front Of the store, stepped up with
pistol in hand and fired upon Mr.. Il.
j. King, passenger with several
others in the vehicle. The sudden
ness Of the attack caused a general
unloading Of the omnibus through the
door and windows by the passengers,
and Mr.. King, who had fallen from
his seat in the confusion, made his
appearance prepared to meet any
further attack by Mr.. Jones. Had it
not been for the timely interference
of Chief of Police Cannon and Mr.. 2.
u. Cannon by seizing the parties
quite an unfortunate and perhaps
bloody scene would have cnsucd. Tie
difficulty grew ont OF the arrest OF
N1r. King the night before at an en-
tcrtainment at Boliver's Hall by Po-
liccman Jones, and subsequent threats
made by DIr. King. The matter
will undergo judicial investigation at
The next term Of court, and not wish
ing to prejudice the interest of either
party, we decline to publish any OF
the many versions tha. wc hear about
the affair. The firing into an omni-
bus, however, loaded with people that
had no interest whatever in tie quar-
rel, endangering their lives, can hard
ly be justified no matter what the
provocation might have been for sncl,
an act. Both parties were arrested
and hound over, Mr.. Jones for as
sault and battery with intent to kill,
and Mr.. King to keep the peace.
