kenney which needs correction in some par
ticulars. In the first place DAILY and Burk did
not get any drink at Kenney's, as he sold none.
They got their liquor at Bnrks saloon, and
Burk was quite drunk when they came to Ken
ney's. Kenncy, with number of others, were
sitting outside the house, and were approached
by DAILY and Burk who demanded something
TO drink. Kenney told them that he had none.
At this they went round to the parlor door and
began to abuse young man named cLaugh-
lin, Burk threatening to whip him. MeLaugh-
lin paid no attention to their abuse, and after
the foulest and most abusive language they
left and came around to the Office and COM
menced kicking over the chairs and making q
racket generally. KenneY remained outside,
paying no attention to their abuse of himself
and guests. After remaining inside short
time they came out, and Kenney stepped
in, shutting the door behind him.
He then stepped behind the counter to wind q
clock, which having done a. beer keg was thrown
through the window by some one outside.
Kenney took from the clock shelf the key of the
front door, some loose change and revolver,
and started to lock the front door, when Daily
had broken the window and would pay for it.
Kenney said, ''Tho will pay for disgracing my
house as you have done? Get out of my house. -
DAILY then then said, 'do you order me out
too?" Kenney said, ''yes, both of you" They
then both attacked Kenney, who has had a
sprained wrist for some time; he defended him
self as best he could with one hand, in which
/ he held the key, money and revolver before
mentioned. In the scuffle the revolver was
discharged, the ball entering Daily q neck and
lodging somewhere in the left shoulder blade.
At the time the revolver was discharged it
must have been within six inches of DAILY q
neck, as the parties were close together and
Kenney's arm was extended warding off Daily 8
blows. DAILY and Burk continued
to assault Kenney until taken off by
boarder named Ed Paneus, who rushed down
stairs and forced them out doors, when Dsly
fell exhausted. He was picked up and carried
into the house, where he was assigned to Ken.

Young Burk is the son of saloon keeper II

supposed that he was led into
the row but others hostile to

kenney. Clanishness and jealousy are the
cause of the trouble, and those who are at the
bottom keep shady. There have been assaults
on Kenney's house before, always instigated by
the same parties. One week ago a drunken mob
made an attack on Kenney's place, and for ar
