had crossed the street and entered
the hotel for the purpose of wash
ing his face. When he emerged
upon the sidewalk Riley, standing
i'm the door of the saloon, took aim
and fred, the TALL missing his in
tended victim, passing Immediately

the hotel door and striking Mum
dell Just above his left nipple,
passing through his body and
speeding on entered the mineral
cabinet at the rear end of the hotel
office, splitting large quartz spec
linen in two and embedding itself
in the wall. Riley again took aim,
but his gun snapped, and then Nc
Carly stepped from behind post
and opened fire, emptying his pistol
but hitting Riley only once, caus-
ing a flesh wound in the thigh.
DR.. Baugh, of this place was
summoned to attend the wounded
men and he departed for the Bar
that evening, in company with
Deputy Sheriff Gray. The doctor
found Mundell seriously wounded,
but thinks that he will recover.
Riley's injuries are not dangerous
AS is too often the case in such
affairs, innocent and good men are
the greatest sufferers. Mr.. Nun
dell has been at the Bar but few
months, experimenting the Wide
West mining property, and has
gained the esteem and good will of
everyone by his quiet and gentle
manly demeancr. He has the
sympathy OF that entire community
in his misfortune.
Deputy Gray arrested McCarty
and Riley and will bring them to
Home for a hearing.
We gather the above account of
this affair from several gentlemen
who have recently arrived here
from the Bar.

Monday evening last, at Rocky
Bar, a shooting match occurred
between Tom Riley and Sam Nc
Carly, which resulted in the serious
wounding of J. V. Mundell, an
innocent bystander and highly re-
spected young man.
1t appears that McCarty and
Riley have been personal enemies
for some time, and meeting in a
saloon the quarrel was renewed and
during the first listicuf' McCarty
came out second best. Retreating
outside he drew his gun and also
threw rocks through the door at
Riley. Riley retreated through
the back door of the saloon and
entered the butcher shop, where he
secured rife and returnd to the

He Comments the Office Blaine Resigned.
New York, June 2O.-Chauncey
M. Depew was as happy as a school
boy when he returned from his
trip to Washington. To a reporter
he said:
"The position of secretary of
state is the most important place
in the cabinet of the president. 1t
is an appointment to which any
man must be proud"
"And you will accept the placer"
Now" said Depew laughing, "you
are getting ahead of me. l have
not said that the portfolio has been
offered to me yet, and there are
very many matters l must consider
before | can say what answer |
should give to the offer. l am not
rich man and cannot afford to
leave my business future out of the
consideration"
The Herald says:
Chauncey NJ. Depew came home
from Washington last night to con-
suit with the Vanderbilts before he
tells President Harrison whether
he will secretary of state or not.
His acceptance Of the place is sup
posed to be contingent on his being
able to arrange with the Wander
bits to resume the presidency Of
the New York Central road in the
event OF his retirement from the
cabinet.

DEATH OF EMAONS ELAINE.
Another Illustration Of the Saying that
Death Loves a Shining Mark.
Blood Poisoning the Cause. Terri
bic Blow to tie EX-Sccrctary. Tie
Family Frustrated.


Blaine, son of ex-Secretary Blaine,
died at his residence in this city
this afternoon. He had been i'll
several days of blood poisoning re-
sulting from disorder Of the bowels.
The fact of the death was cou-
cealed for some time, with the OBJ
ject of reaching his father with the
news in a less shocking manner
than by public announcement.
The effort to get Geographic COM
municaton with him failed, how
ever, and at 1915 the news be-
came public.
1t was only quarter Of an hour
before the fatal end came that the
least intimation that young Blaine
was in a dangerous condition be-
came known, and then only to a
few of his most intimate friends
At the Baltimore Il Ohio railroad
headquarters in this city his asso-
ciates were only aware that he was
i'll and had been so for several
days.
Young Blaine was notable fig
ure in the exciting scenes in con-
nection with his fathers candidacy
at Minneapolis, and took his
fathers defeat greatly to heart.
He was confined to his bed shortly
after his return from the north. 1t
is thought possible that the strain
and excitement at Minneapolis
followed by his keen disappoint-
ment at the outcome had not a
little to do with the prostration
ensuing
The death occurred in the house
of Blaine's law, Cyrus H.,
Mccormick, only his wife, son and
Mrs. Mccormick being present.
Death came SO suddenly that there
was not time to summon the other
members of the family.
Strenuous efforts were made DUR
ing the night and this morning to
get message to the Hon. James
G. Blaine and his wife, who are at
Bar Harbor, Me-, telling them of
their sons critical condition, but
the telegraph companies were I'M
able to get the message through.
A member of the Mccormick fam
lily, explaining why information of
young Blaine's death was withheld,
said: ct was feared it would be
death blow to all the members of
the Blaine family to receive the
dreadful news without prepara-
ticn.'
Emmons Blaine was vice-presi-
dent of the Baltimore & Ohio rail
road company and came to Chi
cage recently to take charge of its
western interests. His wedding in
New York to Miss Anita McCor-
mick, daughter Of the great reaper
manufacturer, was a social event
of the first magnitude.

also made misrepresentation. These
