THURSDAY
THE HALsEY SHOOTING.

During yesterday afternoon at Halsey
Owen Bond was taken before the justice
there on the charge of assault with in
tent to kill Ira Stroud. He waived ex-
animation and was held under 81 900 to
await the action of the grand jury. j.
r. Pearl arrested for assault with intent
to kill Owen Bond waived examination
and was held under $500 binds. Silas
and Elmer Pearl were also arrested for
assault with intent to kill Owen Bond
and were to be examined today. They
claim to have only tried to separate John
Pearl and Bond. On account of the con.
fusion and size of the crowd present there
is doubt on this point. A young man
who was an eye witness to the affair
gives the following particulars:
Tuesday evening John Pearl and Bond
had quarrel over the matter OF Bonds
intimacy with Pearls daughter, Mrs.
Alingham, which was pretty heated,
and Bond declares that Pearl stated
that he would be dead man before
morning. Yesterday forenoon Pearl met
Bond and asked him to go into Jas
PEARLS stable and talk over the matter.
Bond refused to do so, saying the Pearls
wanted to get him in there TO whip bin /;
bat Pearl promised that nothing OF the
kind would occur, so they went to the
stable, which they had hardly entered
when Pearl attacked Bond. II is also
claimed Silas and Elmer joined in the
contest against Bond; but they claim
they We're only trying to separate them
A rough and tumble tight followed. The
marshal and big crowd were present.
The marshal would stop them for mo-
ment when they would 90 at it again.
This was kept up for five minutes. Had
the marshal arrested the men as he
should have done, the trouble would
have slapped.
Pearl, or the Pearls, were getting the
best OF Bond, when he drew his revolver.
Most of the crowd had dispersed by this
time. Mr.. stroud who had been in the
stable about twenty minutes aGd during

This ended the contest and all attention
was paid TO the wounded man.

does not paint the situation there in the

able to ride there, but had TO walk back,
and is now On the way to his home near
Myrtle Point, Coos county. He said the
land Tor 60 miles around Cripple Greek
was staked out in mining claims, and that
very few OF them are worth the paper
