FOUGHT OVER A WOMAN.
Douglass SshOn, colOred, OF this place,
had narrow escape.

The Weston Independent says
"On Sunday night at a point be.
tween the town run bridge and the
electric light plant, an alteration
took place between Doug Sehon, a
Clarksburg colored man who is we'll
known here, and John Hindenach, Of
this place. There was woman in the
case. Hindenach shot twice at Sehon,
one shot cutting his clothing slightly,
and the other striking bottle Of
liquor in his hip pocket. The woman
screamed, and the negro ran limping
toward town yelling wildly for the po-
lice and for doctor. The fellow I'm
ally landed in DR.. Warder's Office,
where an examination developed the
fact that he didn't beara single scratch
and what he had mistaken for his LIES
blood wasting away was only the hot
whiskey running down his person from
the bottle which had been broken by
the gun-shot. Hlndenach escaped.

WHOLE NO. 2O9O
SUFFERED PERSONAL INDlGNITIEs
And sued a Saloon Proprietor for $500
damages butlOst.

A $500 damage suit brought by Bib.
Hennewinsle, tailor, against David
T. Cahill, proprietor of the Nugget
saloon, was tried in Squire MS. Riley's
court Wednesday. c. w, Moore APP
peared for the defendant and H II.
Houston represented the plaintiff. The
case was hard fought and the attor.
neys did a great deal OF sparrIng over
technicalltles.
The night OF August 9Th Mr.. Hens-
newinkle was forcibly elected from
the room in which the Nugget Social
Club holds forth. This room is 10 the
rear Of and connected with the saloon,
only a small hall being between them.
The contention OF the plaintiff was
that Cahill owned the club and was,
therefore, responsible for the action OF
the employees, therein, and us Homer
Grapes who had charge OF the Klon-
dyke table in the club room, had In
tiicted an IndlgnIty upon Hennewinkle,
Cahill should make financial restitu-
tIon. The defense set up the claim
that the club and saloon were separate
and distinct institutions and that
while Cabin was one OF the incorpora.
tors and members Of the club, yet iE
was a corporation and not owned by
him. 1t was shown that the club and
not Cahill employed Grapes.
The difficulty between Grapes and
Hennewinkle arose over a remark by
HennewnKle that Grapes was not
playing the game on the square with
him. Grapes ordered him to leave and
when he refused an alteration ensued,
in which Hennewlnkle apparently
reached for a gun and Grapes struck
him. Then, he kicked at him. Cahill
rushed in and separated the belliger.
ents.
The Squire dismissed the case at
HennewinRle'scost upon the grounds
that the wrong man had been sued, IL
will be appealed to the circuit court.
