 Last Night.

About 10 o'clock last night seven pistol shots in quick succession rang out on the air in the vicinity of the bank corner.
 The majority Of people thought they were bombs. but after investiga- ton the affair appeared to have been shooting affrsy between Deputy Sheriff Chas. Bradley and John Lyall.
 There has been ill feeling between the two men for several months. Bradley Wa. the officer who caused the arrest of Turner. Lyall and others on q charge Of unlawiully killing cat tie. The cases have been dragging through the court for a number of weeks, resulting in jury finding the accused guilty, but the supreme court reversed the finding of the jury and remanded the case tor new trial. At the present term of court all of the indictments against them were dis missed, owing to absence of witnesses and improbability of getting con viction.
 Shortly after the dismissal Lyall went 10 Benson and swore out a war rant before Justice Ohnesorgen, charging Bradley with perjury in hay ing sworn 10 his name being Bradley when it is McAnally. The warrant was sent up 10 Constable Gray of Ben son, who was in Tombstone, and Lyall | also returned to Tombstone after | swearing out the warrant.
 ! Late yesterday afternoon Constable Gray placed the deputy sheriff under arrest and told him to come at once with him to Benson by private con- ! veyance. Bradley asked for time to l consult with his superior officer, who sent him to the district attorney
 MT. Staehle told him that be need not go 10 Benson. but to go before the nearest justice, which was in Tomb stone. He then went before Justice i hoska, who placed him under $200 bonds and released him from custody. Exactly how the shooting occurred it has been difficult to find out, each participant giving an entirely different version.
 Bradley was on his way home from the jail, where he had been to assist in locking up the prisoners. The two men came together on the sidewalk in front of Paul Warnskros' store. Loud words were followed by clinch- ing, and the shooting began.
 Who struck the first blow or fired the first shot will probably come out in the examination to be held at , o'clock ?. m. at Justice Kosks's court.
 Seven shots were fired in all The shooters were not more than three or four feet apart. Four bullets went into the sidewalk, one went across the street into Judge Alvord's old office, one through the awning overhead, and one hit Bradley in the stomach. The latter shot Is supposed to have been fired early in the engagement.
 Bradley feeling himself growing weak, ran into Pete Hooks saloon just as Chief Pugh came running down the street. He gave up his pistol and hung his body over the railing, saying, "Tm shot" The chief then went to where Lyall was standing in door. way, and took his pistol and placed [, him under arrest
 Bradley was carried to Mary Ia ok and Dr. Holcombe summoned. The bullet had struck him m the stomach on the right side and ranged down ward, coming out at the back to the right Of the back bone The wound was carefully dressed, and the wife of the injured man sent for. She ar rived at his side in few moments and wept piieously, but soon ralied and remained with him all night.
