ANOTHER KILLING. Frisco, Utah, has
Of late had . number of shooting and
killing scrapes, and that camp will soon
become noted for the murders committed
there. On Saturday night another man
in was killed that town, and the follow
ing particulars OF the trouble We get
from Joe Goodrich. who arrived from
there ON Monday evening. The man
killed was Thos Scanned, who resided at
Bristol for some time. and is we'll known
in this vicinity, and the party who did
the killing is one Mike Sullivan, who re-
Gently arrived in Frisco from New York
On Saturday evening Scanned was in Pat
Molloy's saloon. leaning against the
counter, engaged in conversation with
Molloy, when shot was fired through
the window. the ball entering Scannel's
left side. After firing the first shot, Sui.
Ivan went to the door of the saloon,
opening it, and fired two more shots.
The ball of the second shot hitting and
passing through both of Scannel's legs,
but the third shot missed its mark en-
tirely. After the firing of the first shot.
Scanned said, "You have killed me,
Mike Sullivan. seen your face"
Scanned died soon after the shooting.
Sullivan, up to last accounts, had not
been captured. Sometime before this
shooting Sullivan had loaned Scanned
$40. and one day on going into Molloy's
saloon Sullivan saw Scanned lay So
piece on the counter to pay for drinks,
when he grabbed the money and put it
a revolver and shot at Sullivan. the ball
just grazing the intended victims ear.
The next day both men met and made
up friends. The real cause of the killing
OF Scanned, is the recent killing of Dan
Mahoney by Pat Callaghan at Frisco,
there appearing to be two factions in re-
gard to the killing. Sullivan is cousin
of Mahoney, while Scanned was in sym.
pathy with the Callaghan crowd, and
had spoken out considerably in regard to
the matter. Scanned was well liked at
Frisco, while Sullivan was looked upon
as rough. However, the death of
Scanned will not be of much loss to Frisco
or any other community.
