Murderous Assault.

Early Tuesday morning, after
riding all night, Roy Bogard arriv-
ed here to call DIR. Smith to Rocky
Bar to attend Martin ]. Kirby, who
had been murderously assaulted
with an ak in the hands of Foley
Abbott, at Kirby's cabin about one
mile above Rocky Bar.
It appears that the two men had
been quarreling about some trivial
matter and that Abbott was very
abusive in language toward Kirby,
who demonstrated against such I'M
called for talk, when Abbott seized
an AK and dealt Kirby heavy blow
upon the top of his head, penetrat-
ing the skull at great depth and
telling him to the ground. Abbott
then made efforts to chop his victim
into mince meat but was prevented
from SO doing by several men who
happened to be near by.
DR.. Swan, dentist of this place,
was at Rocky Bar at the time and
he rendered the injured man all as
sistance possible, and a messenger
was Immediately dispatched to this
place for DR.. Smith, who departed
from here about noon on Tuesday.
The latest news from the Bar is
that Kirby is still alive but that his
condition is critical indeed.
Abbott was arrested and in due
time will have hearing before JUS
tice Nicholson. He is an old resi-
dent of Rocky Bar and is a brother
of Asa Abbott, who now resides at
Bellevue.
Kirby is a miner and was en-
ployed by e. G. Towne at the time
of the assault. His reputation is
that of a peaciable and courteous
gentleman who is respected by all.
He was a candidate for the assem-
bly, on the Populist ticket in this
county in the fall of 1894.
Later.-O. H. Hutchins came in
last evening from Rocky Bar and
relates an entirely different account
of the above affair. He says that
Kirby was the aggressor from start
to finish, and that he is not seriously
hurt.
