 Lieutenant Johnson, who shot and killed Barry last week at Fort Thomas, was held without bonds. Parties present at the examination say the evidence went to show that Lieutenant Johnson was on one side of the bar and Barry on the other. Both had been drinking. Some words ensued and Johnson started for Barry, who threw glass at him. Johnson drew his pistol and fired twice, the second taking oifect." The above is from the Tucson Star and tells in briof of the downfall and ruin of a once bright and honored officer of the army. Lieut.. Johnson arose to his position as lieutenant from the rank of private soldier. During the war with the Chiricahua Indians he distinguished himself by his bravery and by his relentless pur- suit of those Indians.
