Shooting ARRAY.

Harry Wilson and Taylor Williams
are In the city bsstile, charged with q
assault upon Dode
Alcott, q Missouri Valley barber.
The alteration occurred some time af-
ter midnight near Bob McTwiggen's
harness shop on Erie, between Second
and, Third streets, in which Alcott re-
ceived gunshot wound in the abdo-
men.
Nelson and Williams are from
Council Bluffs, Iowa, and are supposed
to be identified with the "Dirty Dozen"
gang of that place. The parties in
Jail deny the charge of doing the
shooting and state the gun must have
been accidentally discharged in the
scuff1e that ensued. 1t seems that the
trouble had been brewing for several
hours, and as all parties concerned had
been drinking more or less they event
ually wound up their differences in q
general mix-up. The bystanders, who
witnessed the affair declare that the
police have not got the men who d
the shooting, the guilty ones making
their escape. Several other tough
characters from Council Bluffs were
with Wilson and Williams at the time
of the shooting, but could not be
found today. Wilson and Williams
were taken before Justice French this
morning and bound over for prelim-
mary hearing next week. They were
taken to Logan for safe keeping pend.
ing further investigation. Mr.. Alcott,
