At an early hour yesterday morning, or
late hour Monday night there was
shooting affair which will doubtless end
in the death Of the victim and the trial
of the shooter for murder The two par
tcipants, middlc.agcd man named i. ;.
kcating, and 4 younger man, y. Is. Chs
Ter, had been together during the evening
drinking some, playing cards, and haN-
ing merry time, and between and
o'clock started for home, they living as
neighhors southwest of the packing house,
on the bottom. They were in company
with II man named Jones and another
named Hayes, VINO works at the transfer.
a boy, whose name Is not learned, was
with them also. As the party proceeded
along the street Heating and Chislcr got
to quarrcling over some chickens which
Heating was carrying home. Chsor
broke of suntlowcr stalk, and with this
would keep striking the chickens, causing
them to squawk Justify, at which Kcating
was greatly annoyed. At last, after tell
ing thisler several times to stop, keating
got mad and began calling Chisler hard
names, and Il quarrel enSued. Chisler
pulled n revolver and fired, the ball
taking effect, entering keatings abdo
men, near the navel. The wounded man
was taken to his home, and the police
were called on to hunt up Chser, who
had fled down through the weeds and hid
somewhere in the bottoms. While some
of the officers went to the river to catch
him should he attempt to cross, Officer
Beswick laid in wait at ChlslCr's house.
About clock in The morning Chi1lcr
came sncaking home, and rs he went to
enter the house Bcswick, standing around

sighted on him, and told him
to throw up his hands. lie complied
speedily and the officer took him in
charge. He ut once telt in Chisler's
pocket for the revolver with which he did
the shooting, but he had managed to get
away with this. He denied that he had
done any shooting at all, and declared
that he had not carried Il gun. He said
he had been hiding in the weeds and had
finally concluded to come home and give
himself up, but on being asked why he
was gong to give himself up if he had
not done anything wrong he could give
no very satisfactory explanation:
After being locked up in Jail he did
some talking, but kept denying the shoot
ing, but in Il very bungling way. He
said that they got to quarrcling over the
chickens and that Heating charged him
with stealing some of his chickens. Fn-
ally Heating came for him with 4 rcvol-
yer in his hand and he (Chlsler) grabbing
Hayes, pulled him around between them
SO that Keating could not hit him. The
struggle was kept up for some time, but
he could not remember anything about
shooting He was sure he had not shot
Heating, and yet in the excitement he
could not remember all that did occur.
