Last spring a church deoson resid' ng
in an interior town secured a man ofall
work from Detroit, and, the place being
an easy n and the pay good, the man
was well pleased and took a great in err
est in his employers welfare. Some six
weeks ago the church to which the Dea-
con belongs had to send three delegates
to meet three from another church to ar
range for a picnic. Daniel heard Il e
d aeon remark that he would like 10 e
one Of the delegates and that was enoush
for him. There was to be u meeting of
the congregation in the evening TO select
the three, and q score Of people had
scarcely got together when Daniel
walked in, slammed his hat down, and
remarked:
Gentlemen, this caucu will come to
order, and by your leave I will act as
chairman until q bigger mar is appoint
ed!''
The people were of course d~umfounded
but Daniel felt as if he was once more
on the heath of the ''old Eight Ward"
and he confined: t

he did shoot the Mexican through tie
leg, and tf1i1f5s went on smoothly untits
the following day. Ellis then had sonat
difficulty with Shea, with Whom he was
gambling. and told Shea that heameans
10 shoot him through the leg as he had
the Mexican the proceed ngday, it Shea
did not mend his ways. Shea dared HIN
to shoot aD4unaTIned man, as ne then
was. Ellis blazed away at shua's leg,
sending q ball through it below the
knee. She began abusing Ellis, where
u on, after due notice, Ellis perforated
Shea's other leg. During the shooting
some men present had started to their
camp, a short distance away, to get their
Henry rifles, whether to merely protect
their own legs or with q view Of inter
fering in behalf of the wounded man
can only be surmised. While returning
with their rifles they met Ellis,an with
drawn guns compelled him to go back.
Coming up to where Shea was, the lat
ter, applying a foul epithet to one of the
men with the rifles, added: "You cow
ardly -, you wan to shoot an TN
armed man, too, do your" At this the
1aan addressed replied: 1T you think
I'm o coward, come out here, you
- -o concluding the remark by
throwing his gun down on the ground
near Shea and brandishing his fists.
Shea, though with 4 pistol shot through
each leg, advanced in q threatening
manner toward the man, but got no fur
Their than the rifle, which he immediate
ly snateiled it up. Up to this point Ellis
had remained sitting on his horse, appar-
emily 4 disinterested spectator; but when
hesaw Shea pick up the gun he instantly
slid off his horse, on the side tarthest
from Shea. The latter then cried to
Ellis: Now if you want to shoot at
my legs any more, step out from behind
that horse and blaze away you cowardly
--," etc. Ellis held his posi-
ton behind the horse. Shea told him
that he did not want to shoot the horse,
!. but that ii he did not conn out at once,
and "cOnLe u shOotin',D he would drop
the horse SO that he could shoot the man.
Ellis saw there was 10 help for it, and
lodging under the horses head, came
"a shooting sure enough, his first shot
striking Shea (already twice wounded)
in the groin and ranging upward. Shea
however, remained standing long
enough to fire two shots at Ellis, the
first with trifling effect, but the sec nd
knocking him in death throes to the
ground, Shea falling at the same instant.
Recovering Shea rose to a sitting posi-
ton, and called to the men who had in
meantime rushed in, to ''stand out of
the way till I give the -- another
shot, The dying man hearing the re-
mark, whispered: Don't let him
shoot; I've got enough" Shea was as
sured that there was no more need of
another shot, and lay down satisfied.
Ellis almost instantly breathed his last.
| Deceased had about 500 on his person,
which sum was used to defray burial ex-
penses. He also had $l, 800 on deposit
with Harris & Rhine in Independence,
California, which sum is now under
claim of the public administrator. The
Independent does not say whether Shea
survived or not. "
