sarIly fatal. DE-. Wilcox, who went

town when no met a number Of SYM
pathiLers with the strikers. Some Of
the crowd, among whom was Bat
Sullivan, called him "scsb," and APP
piled other insulting eplthets. Ho
replied by challenging them to
meet him one at time and
have 1t out. This proposition was
declined, and he continued up 10 tho
town. On his return, Sullivan, Leary
and Collins intercepted hin. Words
followed between him and Sullivan,
when the latter struck at him. Hyde,
while he had offered 10 meet any ono
OF them single handed, did not relish
being set upon by the crowd, and drew
his pistol anu snapped II. The weapon
failed 10 discharge, anu he snapped
again, tho bullet grazing Sullivan's
abdomen.
At this point Al. Collins drew back,
anu fired three ahoti from his pistol,
one Of the balls piercing Hyde In tho
lower part OF the body. There had
been no words between Hyde and Col
Inns. The latter turned TO run after he
had shot, wnen Hyde fired after him,
striking him In the arm.
In short space Of time the peace
officers came up, City Marshal Henroid
arresiing Sullivan and Collins, whom
lac gave over into the charge OF Sheriff

evening number OF persons gathered
near the place where he was, and
directed abusive remarks towards him.
AT the examination on Saturday

/ arraignei on n charge OF assault with
| intent to commit murder, aud pleaded
not guilty. The wounded man, Hyde.

related, and Dn. Grier anu Wilcox
teatlted that Hyde was In critical
condition.
MIS-. Myers and Jennie Martin gave
their evidence, which was similar 10
the abatement Of Mr.. Hyde.
Dan Leary testified, aud In his yer.
sion u the affair said that Hyde struck
at Sullivan before the latter made any
motion TO strike.
The Defendants attorney moved
that the accused bo discharged,
but the court refused the request, and
placed Sullivan and Collins uuder
bonds OF $1,000.
Today young Hyde was placed under
arrest, 30 that all the parties are now
Ia charge of the officers, until full
inquiry eau be made into the circum.
stances Of the affair.
Marshal Benton IL back from Eureka,
but left deputies there In case Of any
emergency. He thinks the local OIL
GERS will DO able to maintain the peace
NJ long as deputies are kept there too.

ing mayor Of Eureka, who prefers 10
have the marshals remain, rs while
they DO 10 there Is less likelihood OF
their services being needed.
SECRETARY DuGuAN's STATEMENT.
EUREKA, Utah, April 9, 1892.
Etitor Deseret AelpG
5ir--ln your issue OF yesterday
notice several errors which | request
space to correct. They occur Ia tho
account OF the tragedy ut Eureka:
First-Mr. HYDE was the assailant
and made three attempts 10 shoot Bat
sullivan, besides attempting to strike
him with revolver on the head.
Believing he had killed Sullivan ho
turned on Al. Collins and Dan Leary,
saying us he did 80: "You Irish IS
VI bis, you will have to take II too;n
fired aud wOunded Collins In the arm.
Then Collins returned the fire. This
is evidence produced by the prosecution
yesterday.
Second--Neithe Sullivan nor Col.
Inns are union or strikers, the first
never having worked Tor the Bullion
Beck and Champion mining company;
the second quit their employment on
the 18Th Of last November.
Third-EGcitement did not run high
after the shooting or since.
Fourth-Judging from their actor
80 lar In tins affair, the unioI
men are fully able 10 control
themselves, and have done all
that could properly be required o
them. They can well afford to laugh
ut the idle threats OF those VINO proposi
"vigOrous remedies" aud Will so OF
In their usual orderly, lawabldinl
course. JOHN DUG GAN,
Secretary.
Mr.. Duggan'a statements are givei
room, anu may be- taken Ms cominl
from his STANDPOINT. or course Mr.
Hyde anu others give an entirely dii
} feTent version OF the trouble, AM
4 charge sullivan with having made th
tlrst assault. AS to the excitement
other accounts contradict Mr. Duggnn
u u shooting scrape in which three o
. four men are engaged does not usually
/, have quieting effect on tho publ
K pulse. The union men may be "fulll
/. able to control themselves" but boot
j. ing and jeering at non'unlon men, o
o any others, anu applying vile epithet
=, to them when passing along the streets
n Is not the kind OF control that IL usual.
o regarded ~ decent In respectful
! community. IL Is also vl0latiye Of tn
