HALEY USED HIS GUN.
A Tri-City Printer Returns a Pistol
shot fer n Pressing Invitation TO
..Set EN- Up In Omaha.

The Omaha Bee of Wednesday morn
ing has the following concerning Jack
Haley, a well known tri-city printer, who
has occasionally worked in this city:
Cries Of Don't shootl For Gods sake

attracted large crowd to Ed. Rothery's
saloon, at the corner of Eleventh and
Harvey streets last night about 10 o'clock.
Freddy" O'Neill, man well known
to the sporting fraternity and the
police, fell headlong to the floor, bleed>
ing profusely from a wound in the
head. A large crowd quickly sur
rounded the place, and IN the confu-
sion the man who had done the shoot
ing made his escape. 1t was learned
that he is printer from Davenport.
Ia. named Jack Haley, and he is de-
scribed as being short. very thick set
man. with dark complexion and very
heavy black mustache. He is about
twenty~eight years old. The patrol wag>
on was at once called and conveyed
O'Neill TO st. Joseph's hospital
Ed Rothery says the two men were in
his place earlier in the evening, and
O'Neill asked Haley to "set 'em up. "
Rothery told him not to ask that. as Ha-
ley was stranger to him (O'Neill They
soon went out without having had any
quarrel or dispute. Later. Robbery SAYS,
he was behind the bar when he heard q
pistol snapped twice and some one ex.
claim, ''Dont shoot" followed by shot.
and ONeIll staggered in the door Ali
attention was directed to O'Neill. who
| was bleeding profusely. Another version
of the affair and probably the correct
one. as given by an eye witness. is as
| follows:
The two men. O'Neil and Haley, were
in the saloon for some time during the
evening. O'Neil had been trying to per
suade Haley to 'set em up" and spend
his money. Haley refused. and heated
argument ensued. Considerable feeling
was displayed by both sides, and finally
| Haley started for the door. rIe stopped
at the door with one foot on the step out
side and the other inside the saloon. He
then pulled his revolver and fired al
| O'Neil. afterwards making his escape out
of the door.
At the hospital O'Neil was attended by
a physician, who. after examination. an
nounced that the ball had struck directly
on top of the head and passed around
directly undeT the scalp. coming out
about three inches from where it entered
| The skull was not fractured. The mar
was very weak from loss of blood. but the
doctor was of the opinion that he woulC
soon recover. At midnight he WAS rest
ing easy with good prospects of recov

been apprehended.

knowledge having been practically sold
by one of these deceitful appearances.
We supposed we were reading the Vest
ern Plosomdn yesterday, and cleaning
from its pages. when we transferred to
the columns of the Dispatch with credit,
certain facts and figures about "consoli>
dation." and which we headed "War like
Figures" Now the fact is. j. w. War;
did't promulgate them. The periodical
we had in hand was the new Building
Association AdDOcdte, just started in Rock
Island. and edited by E. H. Guyer, of the
Rock Island Building association. We
don't know who to apologize to. War; or
GHyer. OF the general public. These two
periodicals are sufficiently alike in APP
pearance to fool any one who had not yet
become intimately acquainted with the
Advocate, which is only a baby yet, with
a single issue before the public. Another
catastrophe in connection with this mis-
take is the fact that we led our friends of
the Union into duplicating the blunder.-

Preacher Drew i'm Trouble Again

The Moline DisDatch has word from
lie Claire of another exciting episode,
which transpired in that village on Mon
day evening, West Rsmbo, the well
known river pilot, and the Rev. Mr.
Drew. the young Campbellite divine, being
the belligerents. The cause OF the trou-
BILE. as reported to us. was that the
preacher had been talking to Rambo's
wife about his drinking propensities, and
she IN turn gave West a rehearsal He
WAS anxious to learn the source of her
information. She referred him to the
Campbellite preacher. West forthwith
went down to see what he could find, and
was not long in finding the preacher, and
the preacher was not long finding ont
what was wanted, and from his appear
ance after the fracas ended, it will be
some time before he will want to inter-
fere with West or his affairs. Drew is
having hard life in trying to bring about
reforms in his own way.

A Great Railroad

Not long ago Mr.. George H. Daniels,
the general passenger agent of the New
York Central 81 Hudson River railroad,
in extending an invitation to foreigners
to visit this country, directed their at
tentiOn to the fact that the United States
of America is the greatest country on
earth, peopled with sixty millions
of the most civilized and enter
prising people on the globe; that the
New York Central railroad is the greats
est railroad on earth-the only four
track road in the world; that it started
from the largest city on the continent.
passed through the richest and most
prosperous region, touching the largest
cities in the interior; is the great trunk
line and direct route to that great catar>
act, Niagara Falls, and that in all re-
spects 1t reveals more of the resources
and riches of America in less time, with
more safety, and under more luxurious
conditions than any other route. There
is much of the above not only for for
eigners, who want to see this country un.
der favoroble conditions. but for our own
restless and moving people. The New
York Central IL Hudson River railroad is
TIC OulBIOWlh VI u luhuIlDuS anu DTDs-
porous civilization and one of its
greatest engineering triumphs. As is
well known, it is the only line
from the west to New York that lands
Its passengers in that city without ferry
ing them across the North river. Its
spacious and magnificent station IN the
heart of the city has been for years not
only the pride of New York, but a lasting
monument to the foresighted liberality
and enterprise of that great organizer
and founder Of the New York Central &
Hudson River Railroad system. Commo-
dore Vanderbilt. The limited trains of
this line aSe the finest in the world, and
ts general accommodations for the
travelling public are only known and APP
preciated by that large portion of it who
have been over the line and enjoyed them.
