The Vote viii he small.

CHEYENNE. Wyo.. Sept. 1.-THE first
state election in Wyoming came off to day.
The utmost enthusiasm was shown, but it
IS doubtful if the vote will be very large.
The Australian ballot system was intro
duced for the first time, and with the regis
trati0n system. Until within few days it
was understood that the law contained
words to the effect that when, through
absence or illness anybody failed to
register, they would be permitted
TO swear to their votes on election day.
Although clause TO this effect passed both
houses of the last legislature, and appears
in both journals, yet, for some unaccount-
able reason it fails to appear in the enrolled
copy Of the law. This omission disfran-
chised very large number of voters. In1SSS

PARK CITY SHOOTING

ANARROW ESCAPE FOR THE PARK
From Being Burned to the Ground-James
Lawrence's Building Completely
Destroyed-Fire at Beaver.

PARK CRY, Utah, Sept. 11.-TSpecial
telegram to The HERALD To-day has
been one of the most exciting days the
Park has had for years. A fatal shooting
scrape late last night and disastrous fire
this morning have combined to make
affairs lively and savors much of old times.
The shooting scrape occurred last night
at ABOUT ll:30 o'clock in the Capital sa-
1oon. Witnesses to the tragedy are very
reticent and ii is difficult to get all the
particulars. From all accounts, the fol-
loving seems to be the straight story
For some time past there have been hard
feelings existing between Alex Langton,
q miner, and Thomas Kearns, foreman
OF the Mayflower mine On July
Y they came to blows, Langton getting the
worst of it. Last night Langton met Wood
son j. Moss, friend of Kearns, in the Cap
ltal saloon, and in some way they got to
qnarfeling about the old trouble Words
were passed from one TO the other, until
hnally Langton struck Moss with his fist.
knocking him backwards As he fell he
pulled his revolver and shot Langton in the
stomach. Sheriff Weber, who was stand
ing near, at once seized Moss and placed
MIN under arrest. Langton ran out of the
DOOR and up Third street to Park avenue,
where he fell. He was taken by friends
to his room and this morning re-
moved to the Park City hotel.
Drs. Gregor and Wilson were called in
and decided that. the only possible chance
OF saving his life was by an operation,
which was performed by them about 10
O'Clock. Laparotomy was performed and
the holes made by the ball in the small in
teshnes sewed up. He is alive at the pres
emit writing, but he is not expected to live
twenty-four hours.
Moss was confined in the city Jail until
this afternoon, when he was taken to the
penitentiary
Both men have great many friends
in the Park. Moss has been here
Tor nine years, and during most of the
time has been engineer at the Ontario No.
mine LaugEton was miner and has
been in the Park about four years. He
was member and past chancellor of the
knights OF Pythias organization. Every
thing that is possible will be done to save
his life. His aute-mortem statement was
taken by Wilson l. Snyder, county prose
cutting attorney, and witnesses state that
his story is just opposite to that told by
Moss, who says he had to shoot to save
himself
