Shooting ut Kuna.
st: tesman.


On Thursday evening between g
and 10 o'clock John e. Barber,
freighter, and 10 Pickens, saloon
keeper at Kuna, became involved in
a dispute at the saloon of the latter
in Kuna, fifteen miles south Of this
city. Words having run high the
parties agreed to go out of the door
and fight it out, and Barber had reach
ed the door when Pickens came to-
ward him, and at distance of four or
five feet drew pistol and fired. The
first shot struck Barber on the right
side, five inches to the right of the
center of the breast bone, and passed
over the ninth rib and lodged in the
muscles of the back; the second shot
took effect in Pickens' own hand, the
left, which in his excitement he had
placed over the muzzle of the pistol
when it was fired. A third shot was
discharged, but it was not known
yesterday morning where it had lodg-
ed. DR.. S. Pope Of this city was call
ed, and started to visit the wounded
man at 1880 o'clock on the same
night. He extracted the ball, and
pronounced the wound painful but
neither serious or dangerous, and that
with proper care the patient will soon
be out able to attend to business.
After the shooting Pickens went to
the money drawer, took all the money
except sixty-fve cents and skipped
out. After the wounded man had
been attended to search was made
but Pickens was no where to be found
1t is reported that he has gone to a
ranch he owns on Ten Mile.
The bullet was shown US by DIR
Pope. It is very small conical ball
and comes from one of the pistols we
have heard designated as sspops.'
The doctor says if it had come from
a forty-two calibre weapon it would
have killed Barber at once.

graduated not long ago in the art Of
boot-making, and looked around for
another trade to conquer. Julius
Caesars foresight is good good
deal better than his hind sight. Like
the original Julius Caesar Of old, he
always looks ahead, and waits till he
gets two objects IN line before aim
ing. The main object Of his longing
and that which be is seeker after
necessarily, is pie. Wealth and 9TH
err desirables are secondary consider
atoms. When he makes an aim in
life pie is in the foreground. AL.
Jones, the blacksmith, like "Billy
Boys girl, team make pie quick as
cat can wink her eye" almost, and
makes it good. julius had heard
of AIS skill in that line, and asked
for substantial, good and sufficient
proof to back up his claim to fame
as present boss pie baker from
Pieville." Al produced the proof,
which then and there did devilish
quick disappear down the grub chute
leading down to and connecting with
Julius Caesars lower level. His ssphiz"
put on broad-gauge grin as he pro-
nounced the proof good and substan-
tial but not sufficient. He wanted a
ponderosity of proof to be con-
vinced. AL brought forth another
pie 1t followed the other to its long
home. Then julius Caesar ceased to
seek for further proof, for he no
longer lingeringly doubted, and pro-
nounced the proof good, substantial
and sufficient, and meditatively
walked out into the rain wrapped in
thought and wore pied expression
of countenance and thin apparel
The wearing of thin apparel and nc
coat in rainy weather is one of Jul
Jus Caesars most distinctive charac-
teristics. He went off meditating
He was thinking pieously about the
peculiar advantages to be enjoyed
by going into Cowan & Jones shop
as an apprentice. Finally he return

The game of polo at the rink Saturday

The game of polo at the rink Saturday
evening. between the j. ID. R. and Falrfieids
was won by the latter in forty-five minutes
;ncluding stops. Score, to l. 1he nrst
goal was carried off by the Fairfields in fifteen
minutes; second J. ID. RS, seven minutes
third. Fairfelds. ten minutes; fourth, FAR
fields. half a minute. 1t was one OF the
hottest and toughest games ever seen
at the rink. The visiting club were set OF
muscular men evidently accustomed to hard
labor and the one that could hit the ball the
hardest W as the best fellow, and it was Often
times fiying among the gaslights. The visi-
tors charged from one end of the hall to the
other, displaying no science. The J. ID. X. s.
on the other hand, were disposed to play
scientifically. Crowell and Russell did spien-
did execution, the one goal won by the home
team being secured by the latter. The decis-
ions of the Judges were very unsatisfactory to
the !. d. R's, and before the end of the game
thew evidently became discouraged on TINS
account. They claimed one goal which was
M, given them. There was very large at
tendance. 1t is understood that Farrell and
Locke will play with the Granite Cities but
short time longer.
