Almost a Tragedy.
News-Miner.

Last evening Nightwatchman Con-
molly had his attention called to the
alley above Bullion street east of
Main street, by the report of revol-
veE- Hurrying upon the scene he
discovered Mrs. E. C. Cunningham
running toward Main street with gun
in her hand. The officer took Mrs.
Cunningham under his wing and es-
corted her to Jail.
just how the trouble originated is
not defnately known. From talk by
Mrs. Cunningham and Harris, over
heard by News Miner reporter, it
seems that Mrs. c. and Harris got in
to dispute over the two nominees
for sheriff. This led to hot words
which terminated in the three shots
being fired by Mrs. G.
A News Miner reporter went again
to get the particulars, and while
there General Cunningham came in,
and few minutes latter was follow
ed by Al Harris.
Mrs. Cunningham made accusations
against Harris, which were denied by
Harris, whereupon General Cunning
ham called Harris a liar.
This called forth hot reply, and
before Deputy Sheriff Pat Furey
could interfere the two men cliuched.
Blows were interchanged when Mrs.
G. rushed to the assistance of the
General. At this stage of the affray
the News Miner reporter and one of
the typos of this Office fastened to
the relief of Mr.. Furey who was be-
tween the antagonists. The report
er and typo took the pistols away
from Cunningham and Harris just as
they seemed in the act of reaching
for them. Some minutes elapsed be-
fore the combatants were separated.
Tom Connolly appeared upon the
scene the second time and Sheriff
Fnrey little later. The guns were
then surrendered to the Sheriff.
Mrs. Cunningham was released and
accompanied the General home.
Harris fingered about the jail until
the others had departed, then went
down town.
Deputy Sheriff, Pat Furey, exhibit
ted no little amount of nerve in jump
ing between the two men who were
after each other for settlement of
the difficulty.
Later in the evening Messrs. Gun
ningham and Harris met in Joe Old
hams saloon, and after some talk,
Harris slapped the General in the
face. The Genetal attempted to re-
sent the insult when friends of the
parties interfered.
About eleven o'clock last night the
General and Harris were seen drink
ing together over Oldham's bar, and
the matter is, therefore, presumably
settled.
