STRUCK WITH AN IRON.
THE VICTIM BROUGHr TO THE
HOSPITAL IN THIS ClTY
Particulars OF the Trouble at Sea-
mans Ranch Tuesday
Evening.

The name OF the man who was struck on
the head during row at Seaman's ranch
near this city tuesday evening, of whicn
mention was made In yesterdays REVIEW.
is Al Gadway and the name OF the man
who knocked Gadway down and perhaps
fatally injured him, is Elmer Garrell.
Gddway was brought to the hospital In
this city where he now lies in q precarious
condition.
Garrell was in the city yesterday as
usual, and returned to his work on the
ranch in the evening, To a REVIEW re-
porter he gave the following particulars
of the affair, and his statement was cor.
roborated by another man employed on
the ranch who was an eye witness to the
whole proceedings,
Mr.. Seaman recently discharged Cad
way from his employ and hired Garrell
10 his stead. the latter beginning
work last Monday morning. Cad.
way became angry at Garrel because the
latter went to work aud told one Of the
other men employed on the ranch that he
would tx the a. Of b.. Tuesday
morning Garrell came to town with milk
for the Russ house as usual and on his
return stopped within q quarter OF mile
Of the ranch. Here he was approached by
Gadway who called him all sorts Of bad
names and wanted to fight. Gadway bad
borrowed u pistol that morning and had 1t
In his hip pocket. Garrell told him he
did not wish to have any trouble and
drove on to the ranch. Galway followed
him to the ranch and continued his abuse
and was repeatedly asked to 90 away.
Garrell went into the stable to put away
the team and Galway informed two or
three men who were present that he
would fix him when he came out. "
When Garrell came out Gadway seized an
iron bar about foot and half in leIgth
and struck at him. Garrell, who is q
man of considerable strength, threw up
his right hand and caught the bar. Cad
way chung to the bar with his left hand
and reached for his pistol with his right.
Garrell used his lett hand TO prevent his
assailant from drawing the pistol and
struck him over the head with the bar in
his right hand, but was unable to do
effective execut N on account OF Galway
holding the bar with his left hand.
Finally GaGvay got the pistol cut Of his
pocket out was unable to use Ii on account
of 1t being enclosed In u cloth scabbard,
which he was unable to remove with one
hand. While he WAS attempting to fire,
Garrell got in Knockout blow with the
iron bar and the fight was over. Garrell
at once mounted horse and came TO town
for doctor. and afterwards brought Cad
way to the hospital.
Mr.. Seaman says Garrell had boarded
with him for several weeks previous 10
entering his employ and that be ia tenn
perate and industrious man. He was
formerly in the employ of V. NJ. Massey
on street grade work.

A CHANCE FOR BOYCOTTING.

There is one very prominent business
flrm of Seattle that has also large mer.
camille establishment in this city. The
house is regarded as one of the substantial
concerns of the Northwest. The fact that
the firm lost heavily in the Seattle fire and
the ,urse pursued by certain San Fran
cisco creditors is commented upon by the
Seattle Morning Journal as follows:
1t Is reported that San Francisco firm
has begun action to attach the property of
a leading Seattle business firm which was
one OF the heaviest losers by The fire. 1t
is further alleged that this action is taken
not 80 much for the purpose OF realizing
as to get revenge upon the hIm which
short time before the fire bought heavily
in the east instead OF from the
San Francisco house. For the
credit Of the latter we hope the report is
not true, but should it be found to be &C.
curate means OF retaliation readily present
themselves. The name OF the heartless
house should be heralded broadcast
merchant In this region should pledge him.
self not TO buy dollars worth from that
frm.
San Francisco has responded with gen.
eIosity, for which this city is profoundly
grateful, to Seattle's needs, aud we be-
lieve the warm-hearted business men of
that city will be among the first To con
denim the rumored action OF one OF their
members.
With the accommodation and liberality
with which all other merchants seem dis.
posed to treat their customers there will be
no difficulty for the business men Of this
| city to weather the storm, but 1t is essential
| to the future prosperity OF the city and to
| the continuance OF the local trade with out
OF town firms, that there should be no
crowding. 1t is time when all should
| cooperate, and when no one should take
advantage OF another. Make an example
Of the first who does.
Since the journal commented as above
dispatches from New York announce that
creditors in that city are also attempting
to attach the insurance money due the
firm. This fact would seen to indicate
that the theory advanced by the Journal
as to the cause OF the San Francisco irm's
action may not te correct. But since the
firm is regarded as thoroughly responsible
and able to meet it's obligations,
it would be interesting to
know upon what business principle this
action of the New York and San Francisco
