miles south 1T Austin, Lander county,
between IL and II o'clock last Satur-
day night After the tragedy GULL
cry walked to Austin and gave him
self up to Sheriff Easton who locked

Reveille reporter Cutlery said:
%Dougherty and I spent Saturday
in Austin, started for Big Creek about
$50 or 6 o'clock, was both intoxicated
on leaving town. Bill drove the team
and when going through the gate near
the house be fell from the wagon with
the reins in his hand. I hollered to
the horses and they stopped. got
ont of the wagon and my self and my
squaw assisted Dougherty to the
house. l put the team up and then
went to the house for supper, after
which we both lighted our pipes and
had a smoke. Some time after | left
the house for the stable to feed the
horses, but before reaching the stable
l heard my squaw scream; l returned
to the house and asked what the
trouble was. DOugher!y became
abusive and quarrelsome and / told
him we should not have any trouble,
but it was Of no avail, and he struck
ut me with a miners candle stick he
had in his hand, cutting my ear and
neck, Showing his right ear which
had clotted blood on it, at the same
time grabbing me By the throat and
pushing me towards the bed on
which we b rth fell. In the TALL the
bed was broken and managed to re-
lease Dougherty's hold aud get away
from him. On arising from the bed
and gaining the floor I grabbed Il
knife from the table. and when
D ugherty came towards me again, l.,
in self-defense, struck him two or
three times and he fell to the floor. /
then went TO the door and called the
squaw and told her Bill was dead. l
then went to the Indian camp to get
Indians to stay with the body, and
then started for town"
The Rsveille says that Dongherty
