Charles McGonigie. a young man y years
old is in Jail In this city. his father Is

this morning visited the McGonigie ranch.
seven miles from this city. and brought IN
a verdict charging the young man with the
murder of his father.
Charles McGonigie had told the neigh
bors that in hts belief the Eaves girls were
prostitutes. and had further ordered his
adopted sister to have nothing TO do with
them. lie had also caused 10 be printed IN
a IpS al paper some stnci . rejecting uron
the character Of the Eaves sisters. Mr.
Eaves Sunday night drove down TO Nc
Gouigie's ranch. distance of some two
miles, to have a retraction. He was ac-
conpanied b. hts wife and one daughter.
Upon nearing the house he saw Charles
McGonigle, and called him 10 the gate.
He came. but said he would stand By any
remarks he had made. The Eaves family
alighted from the wagon and entered the
gate together. MeGCniRle ran. The Eayes
people went 10 the house, knocked. and
were invited in. His wife and daughter
entered. Mr.. Eaves remained on the stoop
In frCnt of the door, talked a moment or
so. said he came to see Charles, refused to
enter. and stepped off the stoop. The elder
MoConigle came around the corner of the
house at this moment. Eaves approached
him, put his hand on his shoulder in a
friendly way, and said he had come over
TO see why Charles circulated scandals
about his daughters.
While they were talking a rife at the
rear cracked. and McGonigle fell and died
I'm few moments. shot through the in
testines. Eaves fled into the house and
extinguished the light. Charles then ad-
vanced 10 the house door, and. seeing
Miss Eaves in the room, said What are
you doing there?" He fred at her, she
stepped aside. and the bullet struck Eaves
in the groin. Eaves fired a small revolver
ar Charles, bat missed The latter then
went 10 a neighhor's house and gave him
self up. saying he had shot his father ac-
cidentally.
McGonigle was 90 years old. and Eaves
is aged 90. The family of the dead man
testified that he said ''Eaves killed me"
as he fell. but there is no corrobcrative
testimony to this effect. In justice to the
Eaves girls IL should be stated that they
are well-hehaved. fairly well educated,
and have always borne good regulations.
Neither family has been here two years.
There is small hope of Eaves' recovery.
