SHOOTING SCRAPE AT NEWKIRK
Barber Named .McMahan Defends His
Wife's Good Name

Guthrie, o. r., March 6.-Newtdrk had
an exciting shooting ARRAY at the City
hotel Sunday, in which q barber named
McMahan and Landlord Smith were prin-
cipals, and Broker Peter, grain mer-
chant, an auxiliary to stop the bullets.
According to the Ponca City Courier 5
account Of the affair, the BARRIERS wife
had been employed at the hotel and had
quit working there to take place at tia
Eagle hotel. This was followed by
Smiths showing a slip of paper which he
claimed to be compromising to Mrs
Mcmahon The barber was very much
enraged at this, and went to the City no.
tel and demanded the slip. Smith gave
it up, but admitted that he had a copy.
The barber demanded the copy, but was
refused. A quarrel ensued in which Smith
ordered him out of the house, using a
poker to enforce the order. McAIahon
pulled his revolver and attempted to
shoot, but Mr.. Porter stepped between
them. The gun went off as he got be-
tween, and the ball went through Por-
ter's overcoat and outer coat, and was
stopped in a grain record book which
was in the pocket just over the heart
The other shots did not take effect, and
the barber ran, but was caught and
placed in Jail, where he now awaits a
preliminary
