On Thursday afternoon Pat Hanlan was |
employed by N. Snearly to do some work |
at the wagon-yard. He was fun OF "E |
Pluribus Unum," and insisted that q |
Comanche Indian named Wawna should
shovel dirt The Indian tried, but said
he did not know how to work, and put
the shovel down. Pat then tried three
times to drive the pick through the In.
dams foot, the Indian backing away in
the meantime The fourth time he stuck
the pick through the iustep Of the In.
dams right foot and impaled the Indian
, so that he could not move. The pick was
taken out and Marshal Emanuel arrested
Pat and placed him in the cooler. 1t was
too cool for him, so he tried twice to
burn the calaboose down, and the last
time he was taken out nearly dead with
) suffocation. Complaint was made against
the lrishman for au assault with a deadly
e weapon. Such brutality ought TO be pun

dian has as much feeling as an Irishman,
! and as long they behave themselves they

: drunkenness is no crime, and that the

drunk.
