BAD BLOOD BETWEEN BRETHREN.
Belligerent Beaver Boss Goes At
ter the Boys at Work on the Boad.

A very bad affair transpired in Green
vile, last Tuesday, says the Beaver Uton7
ian of the 9th, in which the road SUI
pervisor of that place and couple OF men
working out poll-taxes were engaged. 1t
appears that Tuesday was the day APP
pointed for working the tax, and all
things had gone somewhat smoothly dur
ing the morning hours. When the time
came for resuming work in the afternoon,
two of the men, w. Hurst and W. Thomp-
son, were not there, and did not come
until nearly 2 o'clock. The supervisor
noted the fact and spoke to Hurst-his
son-in-law. From this they grew into
dispute. Both were on the wagon, which
had rack on instead of a box. Hurst
was driving. AS words grew more
severe bad blood began to boil, and at
last the two jumped from the wagon, the
supervisor Selling rack-stake, with
which he struck the other over the shout
der. AS Hurst did not desire to strike an
old man he told the supervisor to get on
the wagon, which he did, and again drove
off. Some epithets were again used and
finally resulted in the supervisor striking
young Hurst on the head with the rack
stake, knocking him senseless, in which
condition he renamed for from five to six
minutes. w. Thompson was about to in
serfere when the supervisor told him to
20 to work, but he said he wouldn't do it,
IS he was going to take care of the boy. |
The supervisor was arrested and County |
Attorney Barlow Ferguson called upon to
hold an examination before A. Barton,
ustice of the peace of that precinct. The
lffair was looked into on Wednesday last,
when the foregoing facts were learned.
The defendant was held to await the
lction of the Grand Jury in the sum of
i 900. on a charge of assault with a
leadly weapon with intent to do bodily
injury.

How to Consult DR.. Foote. ST.. by Mail.

DR.. Foote, Senior, author of .sPlain
Home Talk, Medical Common Sense. y
etc, etc., would say to those who would
like to consult him by mail that they can
have list of questions and circular of
gratuitous advice by addressing Box Ala
Salt Lake City. The doctor has arranged
to have such information supplied in this
way to save time. Receiving such printed
matter the correspondent can describe
his or her case fully and direct it to the
doctor, in New York. DR.. Foote is
successfully treating all forms of chronic
diseases, specially to which he has de-
voted thirty years of study and practice.
Evidences of his success can also be had
by addressing Box 414, as above, but all
letters Of consultation and orders for
remedies should be addressed to DR.. 3.
S F4ote, ST., 120 Lexington Avenue,
New York City, N. Y. Consultation free.
An advertisement of DR.. Foote, ST.. in
another place deserves attention.

time of the shooting, and when on the
Gardo House corner


Gardo House corner
HE SAW TWO MEN
On the other side OF the street step over
the ditch and run toward him, but on
seeing Mr.. Pratt they bore to the right
and fled up through the Eagle gate.
A young man who is living in the Grant
family saw one run out Of the east end of
the alley; he was bareheaded and wore
an overcoat, in the inside pocket of which
he saw pistol.
From what can be learned nobody
recognized any of the men, who it is def
nitely asserted were seen fleeing from the
scene of the tragedy.
ANOTHER STATEMENT
Comes from the wounded man. When
he had no other idea than that in few
minutes he would die, he firmly main
tanned that there was no other man in the
alley beside himself and Collin.
1t is known that the two men met last
week in the Third ward store, on lower
Main street, and there had unpleasant
words, in which McMurrin told Collin he
was in mighty low business.
The latest advice as to
THE CONDITION OF NJ MURRIN
Comes through DIR. Benedict, and is to the
effect he is resting easy and that his tenn
perature is normal and pulse regular.
He was shot twice, both balls
entering the abdomen little
to the right OF the navel,
and both passing through the liver, and
one through the right kidney This latter
lodged near the spine, and was extracted
by DR.. Benedict about IL O'Clock Satur-
day night. 1t is believed that the stomach
was not punctured, or the intestine or
any vein cut. If this is true, there is no
danger from hemorrhage, but infamma-
ton may set in, and this is the condition
most feared
COLLIN TAKEN TO FORT DOUGLAS.
There were rumors on the street this
afternoon that Collin had been taken to
Fort Douglas for protection, as it is said
armed mobs were collecting for the pur-
pose of taking him from the Pen and
lynching him. What foundation there
may be as to the mobs |
could not be learned, but it was definitely |
ascertained that Collin had been taken |

DEPUTY COLLIN AND McMURRIN.
mad BLOOD Between the 1--WE Men
What Appear TO be the Facts
in the Case.

The talk on the streets yesterday was
almost exclusively confined to the shoot
ing which occurred on Saturday night
and public opinion was divided-as il
always is in Salt Lake-upon the theories
and accounts of the trouble, the question
resolving itself in many instances to a
| Mormon and Gentle basis, with consid-
cradle feeling and excitement observable
on both sides.
One account, advanced by McMurrin's
friends, was that he accidentally brushed
up against Collin and that the latter i'm
mediately commenced firing. The other
side of the story is that McMurrin struck
the first blow, with a billy,
missing Collins head and graz
ing his cheek, that McMurrin
then threw his arm around Collins neck,
and the latter quickly drew his revolver
from side pocket in his coat and threw
it around against McMurrin's abdomen.
firing two shots; and that the other shots
were fired by the friends of McMurrin
with intent to kill Collin.
The fact that bad blood existed between
McMurrin and Collin is we'll known, the
former having called the deputy some
ugly names for arresting the second wife
OF Edward Brain, in the Twentieth ward,
some time ago. 1t will be remembered
that Mrs. Brain No. 2 was up in
the garnet at the time the deputy
was looking for her, and was unceremoni-
ously required to drop through a trap
door into the hands of the law below.
Words over this affair had passed be-
tween the two. and McMurrin had venti-
lated his opinions of deputy marshals
pretty freely. 1t is also asserted that
McMurrin is aggressive and COM
bahve, and that in the half-masting
OF the flag on the Fourth of July he took
a conspicuous part in daring anyone to
hoist it up, being particularly prominent
at the time of the excitement in front of
the Coop store. He is stout young fell |
low, u years of age, and physically able
to handle two men like Collin, without the
use of club.
Collin, the deputy marshal, is a small
man, and will be remembered as the one
who was recently "thumped' by Andrew
Burt in front OF Main street saloon, for
which Burt was sentenced to five davs'
Imprisonment in the penitentiary and to
nay fine OF $3.50. Since that time it is
reasonable to suppose that Collin has
,een on the lookout for other attacks.
md as the result on Saturday NIGHT
hows, he was "heeled'' and ready for
hem.
From what has already transpired
elatlve to the shooting, there
Gems to be no doubt but that
aore than the two men were in
ne alley; that McMurrin was the ag-
ressor; that other parties besides Collin
ia some shooting in the affray. Other
'cts will doubtless come to the surface
the examination, and until then moth
lg more definite is likely to be ascer-
lined. ~

walking match. This match is for $500,
under the following conditions: J. C..
Dolan is allowed to "go-as-you-please, y
while Oddly is bound to confne himself
to square heel-and-toe Ualk, and the one
who scores the most number of miles
during the twenty-seven hours will be
declared the winner of the race. A very
close race is anticipated, as both men
have in their day covered many hundreds
OF miles, especially Mr.. Oddly, who is
truthfully termed 'the monarch of the
sawdust." A large crowd is expected at
the start, as this will be an interesting
point in their journey.

THE THOUGHTS OF AN "oWL.'
As Expressed to Wandering ana
Wondering scribe.

last NIGHT as a DEMOCRAT reporter
weary and worn, was vending his way
homeward and contemplating on the
probabilities versus the possibilities o.
life. as he turned corner of Main street
To the east, there sat on the lattice OF
window, like Poe's raven, a large nlgh'
owl AS there he sat, he soliloquized to
himself in a quaint and curious fashion.
/ The reporter listened with much inter
est. and believing that the Owls COM
ments would interest the readers OF the
DEMOCRAT, made note OF several OF
them. Among other things, the owl
/ thinks:
That life is short and very uncertain.
That it won't do to monkey with des-
tiny !" by fooling with deputy marshals.
That those upon the "list' think Judge
Zane an expert lawyer and SOUND
Judge.
That the L. L. division of the Under
ground was not patronized to any great
extent.
That the coming run Of opera will be
brilliant, well patronized and deservedly
appreciated.
That it is simply nonsense throwing
away money to bet against the Unknown
foot-racer, Williams.
That
IT'S not always either just or fair,
To Judge sausage by its outward a1r.
That the chicken thieves of the
Elavantb ward had better look out, or
they are liable to get hurt.
That there must have been some reason
for seventeen young society men getting
con their beer" on Saturday night.
That the abominable crossing between
TeasdePs and Barnes & Davis, is stand
ing disgrace to those firms, and shows
clearly how much the authorities have the
cleanliness of the soles of the public in
mind.
That the "Iolanthe" Opera Company
will make brilliant success; that the
stage settings will be elegant, the cos
tunes superb, the principals will fill
their respective roles in fine style, the
chorus girls look lovely and bewitching,
and the public long for the date of pre-
sentation to roll round.
That the city authorities would have
been more strictly within the line of their
duty, if, under the general welfare"
clause, they had spent time and the peo-
pies money in instituting such sanitary
and quarantine regulations as would tend
to the health and safety of the citizens in
stead of working up raid for which they
hadn't the least shadow OF authority.

MAY 30, 1885.
The firing between the postmaster
and those speaking for the Democrats,
during which the postmaster's fort re-
ceived three or four shot, solid and
bombs, for each cartridge, eifectually a
blank, exploded by him. ceased yester-
day evening. 1t was generally under
stood, as this reporter understands, that
Captain Wheeler took his life in his
hand when he entered the contest with
General Malone against the Democrats
Of Virginia. and it is generally under
stood that the successor will shortly
appear.
The rainy season disappeared yes
terday evening. And how are prices
now?" said the reporter. Good for
the seller was the reply. Mr.. T. c.
Jones, of Caswell county, sold HOO
pounds at $40 per hundred; Mr.. j. w.
Terrell, Of Charlotte county, sold lot
at s2l.50 per hundred; Mr.. S. c. New
comb, of Charlotte county, sold lot
at average Of 334.
Since the season for handling tobacco
set in there has been great complaint
as to scarcity of hands, and also of the
Indifferent character Of the hands at
command. The pay given them is in
some cases higher than heretofore.
