DURING A FAMILY ROW.
THE AssAILANT IN PRISON.

Bartholomew Hayes, an old man
of 62, residing at ia Farquier street,
almost succeeded in numbering his
step son, Michael Mclean, last night.
Hayes was attempting to shoot his
wife when her son interfered. Hayes
shot the latter at distance of three
feet. The bullet from a 81 caliber
Defender" revolver struck Mclean
on the left side just over the seventh
rib and only half an inch below the
heart, but was DETECTED and lodged
under the skin over the breast bone.
Although wounded, young Mclean
followed his assailant, and, after
a plucky struggle, wrenched the
weapon from his hands. The trouble
had it's origin in money matters, ano
was aggravated by the old mans
quarrelsome disposition and intem-
perate habits.
Bartholomew Hayes is considered
quite wealthy, being worth in the
neighborhood of $4,000. He owns
number of houses and lots along
Greenbrier and Farquier street He
is an Irishman, of pugnacious ten
dencies and by no means opposed to
an occasional drop. About a year
ago he married a widow named Nc
Lean. She is some So years old. The
old couple lived alone at ia Farquier
street, while Mrs. Hayes son, Mi
chael Mclean, occupied one of the
Hayes houses block distant, No.
500 Greenbrier street. For some
months past Hayes and his wife
have not lived happily together. His
unfortunate disposition had, it is
said, already driven away from him,
some years ago, his only son. The
latter is now living at Two Harbors
in this state.
Hayes has made frequent threats
directed obscurely against his wife,
! saying that two deaths had to occur
/ in his family before long, and that
| he himself would be buried from a
| prison. He has kept a revolver iH
his bureau drawer for the past two

! ago About 10 o'clock last night the
son, his wife and the latter's sister,
j Miss Lizzie Dineen, appeared at the
! Hayes residence to escort the old
{ lady away. Mrs. Hayes went UP
! stairs and gathered a few of hel
personal belongings. Hayes got OUT
! his revolver, and, as his wife reached
the head of the stairs he started up
pointing the revolver towards her
and swearing he would shoot. Young
| Mclean jumped forward and caught
1 him twice by the shoulder.
The second time the old man turned
| and fired. The women ran out Of tho
house and the old man after them.
Mclean followed. Fifty feet away tho
, vindictive husband had reached his
aged helpmeet, and was about to shoot
her through the head when her son,
wounded as he was, made a second at
tempt to protect her. He seized tho
old man and threw him against fence.
Although the latter exerted himself to
the utmost to fire another shot he was
overcome, the revolver torn from his
murderous hands, and he himself pre-
cipitated into the gutter. The women
had now disappeared, while Mclean
took refuge at neighbors.. Officef
Mike Moran was in the vicinity. ALL
