SHOOTING At WOODLAND.
a Jealous Admirer Badly founded b,
a Rivdt in self Defense.

WOODLAND, CAL, July 15-Yesterday
afternoon, in self-defense, Robert Bristow
shot and badly wounded James Lear. The
affair took place out near the racetrack
and jealousy played the most important
part in the prologue that led up to the
tragic scene. Lear was jealous of Bristow,
who was doing few favors for Mrs. E. NJ.
Morrow, and had repeatedly threatened
Bristow's life if he did not cease in his
attentions to the woman. Yesterday he
started to put the threat into execution,
but Brstow got in first blood and stopped
the proceedings. Bristow came to town
and gave himself up to the Sheriff, saying
ne had shot Lear in self-defense. District
Attorney Hopkins found on examination
that the shooting was probably justifiable
and that there would be no conviction, so
he told the Sheriff to release the self
imprisoned man.

someone kicking on the door.

the door was kicked in and tall. dark
cOmplexioned man wearing a mask, en-

companion outside.
Mrs Marshall drew her revolver for
use but the man was too quick for her
and fired at her heart, missing it by
few inches, the bali entering her left
arm at the elbow. Mrs. Marshall then
commenced to use her revolver, empty
ing it on the fleeing robbers.
She waited for some time thinking the
shots would be heard but no assistance

Mir. Ed P. Greer of the Winfield Courier,
who was in this city yesterday Mr.
Greer has been looking over The prop

it is worth very much less than the pres

it can not be made to pay any interest,
nor even running expenses as at present

1t is the opinion of Mr., Greer that the
creditors will combine and make the pur-
chase in order to protect themselves pro-
vided they can agree. If they do not,
then a receiver will follow and it is
likely Mr.. Greer would be the man as he
stands well with the creditors.
