Tragedy.
CoLFAx, Aug. l2.-The small way
station of Winona Junction, 25 miles
west of Coliax, yesterday experienced
bit of wildwest tragedy. No salts
factory account of the affair could be
! obtained last night, and the reports
that reached Colfax were conflic in g.
The meager report received at the
sherills office LETT the particulars in
doubt. Deputy Sheriff Eacho ana DR..

Ninona and returned at day break with
the man who did the shooting and
with substantial details of the occur

james Tow, stock ra ncher OF Rock
Creek, seven miles from Winona, had
come into Ninoaa, and was drinking
freely at Mckune's saloon yesterday.
hobo, who gave his name rs John
McFre BraithWai e, and who gives an
unsatisfactory account OF himself, was
also there indulging in liquor. The
men were both very much Intoxicated
when they engaged in a game of poker
for the drinks. According to Braith-
waite lie was losing too regularly, and
he suddenly concluded that Tow was
cheating him. This vas about ?
O'Clock in the afternoon.

The depot at Winona, where the deputy

intent on getting away from Winona
on the night freight. Deputy Eacho
arrested him at the depot.
Tow Tells HIS story.
Tow says Braithwaite called him OBJ
scene names because he was winning,
and that he (ToW) struck him for
the insult, and was answered by shot.
Braithwaite is evidently hard char
acter. He is about so years of age. 70
partially bear out his story both his
eyes are blacked and his face otherwise
shows the signs of the beating lie re-
ceived.
Tow was shot through the right
lung, the bullet entering between the
third and fourth rib aud passing out
near the point of the shoulder. The
wound will, in all probability, prove
fatal. Tow was brought to the hospital
in this city by this afternoons train
from Winona.
The only person besides the two
parties to the shooting i'll the saloon at
the time. was McKune, the proprietor.
Tow killed man at Wallula in 1856.
and served q year in the state peniten-
tlary for the crime of manslaughter.
He has wife and family at Rock
Creek.
Brathwaite tramped from Portland,
walking into Winuna Friday night.
He has no particular trade or calling,
aud says the last place he worked WAS

the japanese legation are without any
information respecting the reported
fight at WeiHai-Wai and Fort Arthur
on the Chinese coast. They are In
clined to believe that the home govern
ment is awaiting as full and complete
reports of the battles as it had regard
ing the fight at Asan, Corea.
Much interest in the Movements
against the above places is felt by the
officials of the government here, as it is
at or near Fort Arthur where Lii Hung
Chang has his great military stores,
arsenals and other resources for the
continuation of warlike operations.
Both Fort Arthur and Wei-Hai-Wei
are in tine line of the direct route be-
tween the water TO the mouth of PeI-H

be reached, and any movement against
the former places is likely to be factor
