SOME LIVELY SHOOTING.
Which May Result in Man for Breakfast

About five o'clock yesterday after
noon the inmates of the Central hotel
were alarmed by the report in the hall
way of a revolver; rushing to the spot
where the firing was going on, Frank
Cook found a young man between IL
and Is years of age armed with a
knife and a revolver, four chambers of
the latter being empty. He caught
and disarmed him, saying what have
you been doing?" I've fixed that
fellow" was the response; she won't
bother me any more" Farther on lay

known character, whom investigation
showed to be badly wounded. One
bullet had entered his side and
passed through his body; another
had struck him in the upper right
side of the breast, and passed out
near his shoulder blade, a third, in
the small of the back, was imbedded
in his body, apparently in the region
of the kidneys. A fourth had missed
its aim and was in the jamb
of a door adjacent. The wounded
man was picked up and asked who
hit him: he could only gurgle out
something that sounded like "chief,"
and sank apparently lifeless. He was
at once conveyed to the hospital. 1t
was the opinion of the surgeon who
attended him late last night that the
wound occasioned by the bullet that
struck him in the back would prove
fatal.
The young man who did the shoot
ing is named p. w. Pierce, he was
arrested at once and locked up in the
city jail. BY the advice of his at
torney, he yesterday evening, declined
to make any statement.
He arrived here about three weeks
ago from Boston, Mass. Just what
was the exact cause of the row could
not be definitely ascertained, one of
the principals in the shooting can't
talk. and the other one wont.
1t appears, with some probability,
that O'Brien had tried on one or two
occasions 10 commit a nameless
crime upon the person of young
Pierce, and had annoyed and perse-
cuted the young fellow till he lost all
patience and took this effectual
means of releasing himself from his
tormentor. -----.--
O'Brien is a man about so years of
age, who has had rather a checkered
career. ---
The affair caused considerable ex-
citement, and at the examination be-
fore the justice court the facts in the
case will be ehcited.

LOOKS LIKE FOUL MURDER.
Finding Of the Body Of John johnson.

About three weeks ago, John John.
son, familiarly known as 'sButch,'
was missed from his accustomed
haunts, and inquiry being made, as
to his whereabouts, it was found that
he had vanished as completely as il
the earth had opened and swallowed
him, or as if his body lay at the bot
tom of the river.
Considerable surmise as to his fate
elected nothing beyond the fact that
he had mysteriously disappeared as
have many others.
1t was known that he had left his
watch, some money, and some clothes
with one of his friends, and that he
had no motive for flight, and the feel
ing among those who gave any
thought to the matter was that he had
been made away with, as it was known
that he had incurred the enmity OF
men not at all scrupulous as to their
manner of revenge. All doubts, were,
however, set at rest yesterday morn
ing, by the finding Of the dead and
mutilated body of the unfortunate
man lying ON the beach west of the
Washington cannery net racks. His
skull was smashed near the left tenn
pie, there were ghastly wounds on
both sides of the face, and the throat
was cut.
The body was taken to the morgue,
and at four o'clock Coroner Surpren-
ant impaneled a jury consisting of Ed
Wright, Jas. Flynn. NJ. West, L.. E.
Selig, A. NJ. Twombly and Chas. Dav-
idson, and began an inquest.
The first witness summoned was
DIR. A. L. Fulton. He said:
Il found, upon examination, a
wound, looking like a cut on the side
of his face, from the forehead down
to the neck; also a slight cut ON the
front of the neck. [ think they were
made short time before or after his
death, but could not positively say or
account of the bad condition of the
body"
Sam Harris, the next witness, said
Deceased was in my saloon the
night before he was missed by his
friends. He was very much intoxi
Gated. and making a great deal oi
noise. L took him out toward the
lower part of town, and when opposite
the Globe saloon he pulled out
some silver amounting to $3.50
from his pocket and dropped
it on the sidewalk; So of the amount
was picked up, just then we met
Frank Cook, who asked the deceased
for the loan of S5 which was given
him: Officer Beasley had come on
the scene then and asked for the loan
of dollar, which he gave him. Off.
Ger Oberg came up and borrowed 81
when Beasley said, you gave Oberg
So, now loan me another dollar" "
which he got, making the So he had
l then left and went to my place and
after while the deceased came back he
made so much noise 1 had to 60 out
with him again, took him down past
the Occident hotel toward home
where he said he wanted to go and
left him. l never heard anything
more of him until the next day wher
his friends told me he was missing
At this state of the proceedings the
Inquest was adjourned until $50 to
morrow morning.
No effort should be spared to un
earth the exact facts regarding thii
mans death, and If any clue can b,
fonnd as to who, if any one, had ;
hand in his death, they should be sum
marily dealt with.

We extract the following items from
the last issue of the Arizona Kicker
THEY WILL KNOW MoRE.-A COM

company, of Chicago, gave show of
some sort at Reynolds hall last Fri
day night. No free tickets were sent
to the Office, and when we sent our half
breed roller boy over to the manager
with a note asking him why in the
Texas he had neglected such an i'm
portant duty, he returned word that
the Kicker could kick and be hanged
to it. We therefore kicked. We hired
Cooper's hall for the same night, gave
a free dance and the Acme Opera
company opened to an audience COM

somebody was going to be scalped.

'Nor SAYING A WoRD.-Many of
our subscribers are asking why The
Kicker has nothing to say in favor of
either of the local tickets now in the
field. There are two reasons. First,
because we were not nominated on
! either ticket, and secondly because a
bigger gang of rascals were never up
for Office. We wanted to run for
mayor. 1t is no use being over-mod-
est about such things We are better
fitted for the position than. any other
man in town. The Office should have
been glad to seek us. 1t didn't do so
and so we sought it. We should have
filed the position with credit to all,
but the gangs wanted tool, and so
they nominated Doc. Burrows and
Hank Jones to head the two tickets.
Neither of these men will ever serve.

of them back at Joliet to serve out

Provision For Safety to Shipping.

So runs the ditty. On this and
other civilized coasts, the government
makes provision for the safety of those
whose march is on the mountain wave
whose home is ON the deep, and with
great expense, lighthouses, life saving
stations, buoys, beacons, fog signals
and marine telegraphs, and other SER
vices, are maintained.
On this northwest coast, all that
skill can suggest or science devise has
been called into being for the effici-
ency of that branch of. the service that
lights our shores and aids the inter
ests Of shipping. =. .r: 10

who come in sight of our friendly

reports finding it well and substan'

The cable lies, complete, at the o.
