Yankton Girl the Cause.
The Sioux City Times gives the fol-
loving account of shooting affair in
that place, which grew out of jealousy
over mutual girl, Mollie Harris, who
left Yankton few weeks ago for
the city of sin:
Cuff johnson and Tom Mace are q
brace of colored meE who make their
headquarters about the "dives" near the
levee. In the neighborhood a colored
woman named Lou Francis keeps a
promiscuous boarding house. Amongst
her boarders is Mollie Harris, rather
winsome white girl, who has weakness
for black and tan. She had at intervals
bestowed her smiles and would be affec.
tion on both johnson and
Mace until they both got
madly jealous of each, and after
dinner to-day, meeting in Cass Davis
saloon, they got into quarrel when
Mace pulled out his revolver and com.
menced emptying its chambers into
Johnson's body. After feeling the sting.
ing sensation Of one ball in his right
shoulder, johnson beat hasty retreat,
followed up by Mace, who had blood in
his eye, and was in shooting humor,
but Davis and others managed to quiet
Mace, and in the interim johnson made
bee line for DR.. Guyton's Office, where
the ball was probed for and extracted
Mace managed to make his escape, and
thus Mollie Harris from having two
ardent lovers, is open to fresh engage
