county JAIN. charged with carrying con-
cealed weapons, upon which charge he
will be arraigned late today In Justice
Frank KemedW's court.
Rowan has q grievance against one
Essinger. who Is employed in the
Vienna bakery. He began drinking
yesterday, and procuring a gun. started
out to wreak vengeance.
He went first to the office of the city
attorney and then to the county attorney
to get permission to kill Essinger
County Attorney Duffy was out, but
John T. Casey was in. Rowan made
known his wants in writing and drew
his revolver.
The man with the gun was directly
in front OF the door, thus cutting of
Mr.. Casey's means of escape. He
thought his time had culne, and re-
signed himself to the inevitable.
This was the state Of affairs when
County Attorney Duffy arrived upon the
scene. and probably saved Mr.. Casey
from an untimely death.
In company with Rowan, Attorney
Duffy proceeded to Justice Kennedys
court where Rowan again drew his re-
vOlver.
Constable Lynch then placed him un-
der arrest, deprived him of his gun and
took him to the county Jail.
