The Way. TOn,aha World

If a man is robbed, hurt or killed on railroad train the company is re- sponsible. If he is robbed, wounded or killed by foot-pads in policed city nobody is responsible, and yet the law positively prohibits him from carrying a weapon for self-defence. Why should not borough, town or city which com pels citizens to rely on the authorities for protection reimburse him or his heirs when the authorities fail to per form their part of the contract? When a mob in Pittsburg destroyed railroad property the city had to pay the bill. Ii a gang had attacked and robbed citizen he would have had no redress. Is a railroad depot more sacred than an honest mans last dollar?

 Diiy Wounded.

About eight o'clock Thursday night the people on Main street were sud denly startled by the loud reports of pistol shots in rapid succession pro- cecding from the Tunnel saloon. No previous noise of an altercation was heard and it was at first thought that some ono under the influence of tCo much "hooze" was emphasizing hs hilarity with harmless pistol practice, but when two struggling forms came through the screen doors into the street, still firing at each other, and one fell on the street and the other staggered down the sidewalk towards the Florence Hotel, the fact was recog- nized that a fearful tragedy had been enacted in the semi-darkness that sur rounded the entrance of the Tunnel saloon.
 Eleven shots were fired, and the echo of the last had scarcely died away ere dozens of people had gather ed about the prostrate form of Jose phus Phy, a well known resident of this place, who was evidently badly wounded, but was still hourishing a keen bowie kife in threatening man. ner that for a short time repelled the friendly offices rendered him.
 He was carried to the stage corral where Dr. Harvey examined his wounds. One shot had passed through his left thigh, utterly shattering both bones another shot had passed through the front portion of his abdomen, very 1 likely cutting some of the intestines, ] and the third shot entered in front ol his right shoulder, the ball passing l downward and across the body, lodg- | ing under the skin on the left side near the nipple of his breast, from which place it was cut out by the sur geon. The last wound occasioned in ternal hemorrhage and, although everything possible was done to re lieve his sufierings, he died at half past twelve o'clock the same night, foul and one-half hours after receiving the shots.
 The other party to the tragedy ex l Sheriff Gabriel, had proceeded down Main rect after the shooting, to the entrance of the o. K. livery stable where he fell. He was assisted into q room where the blood from his wounds was stanched until doctor could be summoned from Sacaton, Is miles dis tan~ Dr. Sabin reached town about half past one o'clock yesterday morn. ing and found Mr. Gabriel bearing up heroically un Ter his severe wounds It was found that one shot had enter ed his left side, very close to the heart and had come out below the left shoul der blade, causing a dangerous wound ! The second shot had entered the right groin and come out low down anC close to the spine, also making very dangerous wound. He rested quite easily however, and yesterday felt very cheerful and hopeful, and Dr. Sabir said that, although the chances were against recovery, there is possibility for him surviving the dreadful wounds
