TOM WETHERLY's STORY
Says He Shot at Charley Chickenny
 In Self Defense.

In yesterday mornings paper ap- peared an account of shooting scrape that took place in the Capitol saloon and in which Charles Chickenny mar rowly escaped perforation at close range.
 The shot was fired by youth about twenty years old, manned Thomas Wetherby He came here last Septem- Der from North Carolina. where his family is well known and respected, and his father was for many years clerk of Marlborough county. Friends Of the boy who have known him both here and in North Carolina say he has always borne a good reputation, though like other boys he seems to have acquired a taste for owning re- Volver soon after coming west. His story of the affair seems to be one of self defense. He lives at the residence of Mir. House at the northern limit of the city, and for whom he has lbeen working. He says when he came to town Saturday night he left his weapon at the store of Harry Friedman. Him.
 
 been keeping company passed by the door of the wine rooms Tn the Capitol when, according to them, they were set upon by Chickenny and others and abused for refusing to furnish money to buy drinks. t.hey got away. from the unpleasaa; surroundings, and when ready to go home Wetherhy went .c Friedman's and got his revolver. aIter which his fir nd c1aXed him to return to the saloon again, just through idle curiosity as boys sometimes do. Weth- erby claims thCt just as he entered the saloon Chickeany struck at him. after which he drew his revolver and fired.
 The revolver is Sr.ith X Wesson 3S-caliber iive-shooter. and the only reason IF the world that CnickenTy was not killed is the fact that there was little powder behind the bullet. Wetherby'S examination will be held this morning before Justice Burnett.
 This shooting, following so soon after the assault on w. M. Dameron, and both shots being similar in that they were both taken at short range and in both instances the effect was slight, naturally set people to thinking and speculating upon the probability of both shots having come from the same weapon. NJ. Dameron succeeded in finding the bullet that came so near ending h!s life and yesterday it was taken to the sheriff's office and com pared with Wetherly's gun. For tunate'y for Wetherly, the bullet was found to be too large to fit his re- volver. This will relieve him of an otherwise very ugly suspicion.

The latter part Of last year we took
up the matter of assisting the promote
ers Of the Brunswick & Birmingham

mileage they have completed gives us

IN addition to daily schedules to Jack

dens.
The Tarrant boy, who could not
swim was in an unconscious con-
dition when rescued by John Britt
aud Boss Bluejacket, who had
lbravely followed the others to the
scene Of the accident.
Miss Mamie Chandler, who had
chung 10 the boat, was later res
cued by party that formed line
from the shore.
To the presence of DIR. Oliver
Bagby on the scene, the Tarrant
boy, no doubt owes his life, as bis

ashore that immediate medical as
sistance was all that averted his
death.
Several of the party are still

The capsizing of an overcrowd-
ed row boat at Brackett's yester-
day afternoon, nearly resulted in
the drowning Of several OF the
young people who were out in the
frail craft. But for the gallant
action oi-several men who witness
sing the accident, plunged ia TO
the rescue, and sustained the i'm
periled ones until additional aid
arrived. fearful tragedy wo0ld
have resulted.
II was about 5 o'clock yester-
day afternoon when a party con-
sisting of Misses Mamie Chand-
Ter, Louise Chandler aud Alma
Martin, accompanied by George
Martin, Albert Marks and Roscoe
Tarrant, engaged the cranky little
craft for row on the creek.
When the boat was pushed
clear OF the shore il was discovered
that the guEwales were awash and
that the boat was rapidly filling
with water. Those who were at
the oars. made a desperate attempt
to head the rapidly drifting craft
toward the shore, but their efforts
were interfered with by the other
panic stricken occupants. One Of
the young ladiee, in her terror,
leaped into the water, careening
the crowded boat, which capsized
q moment later, as an effort was
made to reach her.
Eut two members Of the party
could swim, and they concentrated
tbeir efforts in an attempt to right
the overturned craft. under which
several had been caught
The accident had been Witnessed
by Walter Martin and Bud Bal

in and swan toward the spot
where the struggling forms had
disappeared beneath the waters.
The more powerful strokes Of Bal
lard allowed him 20 reach the
scene a moment before Martin,
whose sister was one Of the party.
Grssping Miss Martin and Miss
Louise Chandler, he vainly at
tempted to sustain them. but was
carried under by their struggles,
almost Immediately. The arrival
of Martin saved the drowning

other at the grounds.
There was no public speaking
on the progfem, ,'curious as it may
seem to celebrate Independence
day without oratory. The patri-
otism of the people found vent in
other ways. and the day was given
up to free and unrestrained
amusement, each one to select
his own diversion.

ett's, ecIipsed in numbers, per-
haps. anything ever held in this
section, in the way of Eourth of
July celebration. The crowd was
variously estimated at from 5000
to 5000. There was no organiza-
tion and no program to be carried
out. The people Just came,
brought their lunches and spent
the day under the shade of the
trees in Whatever method OF en-
joyment they chose.
Tom Brackett's steamboat WAS
the chief attraction and made reg
ular voyages oP the river about
one mile and back, carrying from
fifty 10 seventy-'fve passengers.
There was = dance platform in
one part Of the ground, where a
number OF coalless youths Swung
them 'round"lo the duloet tones OF
two or three sq0eaky viohns.
A large tent opera, ca which
some kind of play was going on
afternoon and evening, was the
center OF some attraction, and
there were iakes and other shows,
galore.
A live bird shoot attracted a
large crowd on the edge ot the
prairie at noon. and spirited,
though very dusty game Of base
ball in the afternoon claimed a
share OF the throng.
A quantity Of hsrbecued beet, far
too small for so large a crowd. was
scrambled for at noon. As Is usn-
al. some men went away with
enough to last them a day or two,
while others got none.
A very little drinking was in
.dulged in, and the big crowd was
well behaved aud very orderly
throughout.
Late in the afternoon happened
the only thing calculated to mar
the fun and hilarity. Six young
people went out in a small boat
which capsized in mid-stFeam
with them, and had not timely as

beeo drowned. They were fshed

sprang in, and dragged them out,

The presence Of Sequoyah band
from town, was one Of the most
doliehtfol features Of the day,
and from an improvised band
stand. discoursed splendid music
throughout the day.
In the afternoon the crowd was
treated to fine vocal music by
members Of the band, and others.

OBITU4RY NOTES.
Death of John l.. Hnury.

The many friends of John L. Haury
 son of Joseph and Katherine Haury, will be saddened by the news of his death, which occurred at the home of his father on Wooster street yesterday afternoon. For some time MT. Haury had not been well, and several months ago he took southern trip in the hope that he might be restored to his usual health, but he returned home but little benefited by his travels and since his arrival had been slowly but steadily growing weaker, and although the best medical attendance and loving hands administered to his every want, but lit- tie relief was afforded and death alone brought to the sufferer the peace that he had so long sought for. He was tWenty-nine years of age. The funeral will be held from his late home, 272 Wooster street, at 2:30 o'clock to-mor row (Thursday) afternoon and from St. Boniface church at o'clock, and there will be a large concourse of sorrowing and sympathizing friends present to follow him to his last resting place.
