SHOOTING AFFRAY.

Ii is rather queer that The Herald
is not called upon to record killing
or two in this issue. Enough shots
were fired at close range yesterday af-
ternoon adjoining the C. E. Herr saw
mill to kill off a regiment of people.
The Herald reporter has not been able
to interview any of the principals in
the affair. but from others we learn
that some two months ago Robert
Dwyer filed contest against the
homestead entr,' of 10 IN Hartman up
on which he has lived continuously for
the past four years, basing the con
test upon the grounds that the land
was more valuable for its coal than
for agricultural purposes. 1t seems
that Dwyer and Tom Harper have
made several trips to the land, and
Hartman has warned them TO keep off
the land Yesterday afternoon
Dwyer and Harper went to the Hart
man place and commenced digging
Hartman saw them, took down his
Winchester and started toward the
men Harper saw him coming and
ran and got Winchester lying close
by. In the meantime Hartman fired.
and then Harper returned same, Hart
man starting back to his house. fol
lowed by Harper, both men keeping up
fusilade. Harper firing ten Or twelve
times. once after Hartman had en-
tered the house. In the melee Hart
man was the only one touched, ball
passing through the joint of the
fourth finger of the left hand. AS
the men We're only fifty yards apart,
the craftsmanship was not very good,
or would not win a prize at Creed
more.
1t is said that Harper was at the
Hartman place some days ago and
threatened Mrs. Harper with SIX
shooter.
1t is fortunate the bullets went
astray, as it is better for all concern

To the country voter who is unac'
quaiuted with MIR. W. J. Patterson,
the Republican nominee for treasurer
II is only necessary To state that he

alderman, being elected both times In
Democratic ward. Last spring II
was considered almost useless to
place candidate for alderman In the
first ward. So large was the Democrat
ic majority last fall. but Mr.. Pattcr-
son WAS nominated and accepted.
and so well is he llkod by the labor
element. as well ms business, that he
came out victorious over popular
Democrat This of Itself is sufficient
to show the standing OF Mr. Patter-
son. He possesses the confidence OF
