aged about 81 years. youngest son OF
the late Mr. George Harriss and brother
OF former Mayor W. N. Harriss and AL
derInan George Harriss, sho and Sc

named William Moore.
Mr.. Harriss was experimenting a
gang OF ~stevedores who were employed
by Messrs- George Harriss. Son & Co.

bust man, about 25 years old, was one
Of the gang and wanted to knock of
WORK and go off with the remains OF
Nathanlel Clark, a stevedore, who fell
dead in the hold OF the vessel. as men
toned elsewhere in the Messenger. Mr..
Har-iss had use for him and refused to
let him go. He "a ordered to go to
work or leave and not come back. He
became very insolent to Mr.. Harriss
and words ensued between them. They
were in a narrow space between two
piles of lumber on the wharf, and
Moore assaulted Mr.. Harriss. catching
him by the throat and showing him
against a pile Of lumber. Mr.. Harriss
freed himself from the negro's grasp
and Moore then drew a knife and went
at him, w~hereupon Mr.. Harriss drew a
revolver and fired on the advancing ne
gro. The ball entered his right side
about the eighth rib.
Tie men on the wharf ran to the
combatants when they heard the report
of the pistol and found that Moor had
been shot. He was sent to his home in
the alley between Seventh and Eighth,
and Nun and Church streets, but later

where DR.. D. w. Bullock extracted the
bullet-from the small of his back. The
ball probably struck a rib and glanced
around to its location in the back, as
the course of the bullet could not be
traced with a probe. The wounded
man suffered a good deal from shock
but his condition is not considered Sc
rious.
In a few minutes after the shooting.
Mr.. Harriss came up town and surren-
dered to Chief of Police John J. Fur
long at Front and Dock streets. He
was admitted to bail in a bond of 5000
for examination as oon as Moore is
able TO be out.

THREE MEN ARE CORPSES
As the Result of the Strikers Attacks on
the Smuggler-Union Mine.

Denver, July 5.-The latest news
from Telluride, Colo, in regard to the
trouble at the Smuggler Union mine is
to the effect that no further blOodshed
is feared, as the company has agreed
to withdraw all men from the mine ex-
cept a few watchmen, and make no
effort to resume work until the strike
is amicably settled and officially de-
clared off. Three men were killed and
at least ten wounded in the battle
which occurred Wednesday between
80 armed men and the force of min
ers and deputies at the mines. The
killed are: John Barthell, miner,
one of the attacking party; George
Nicholson, shift boss at the mine; ].
Lujan, Mexican, employed as tram
mer in the mine.
The men employed in the mine, num-
bering about 100, were driven over the
range into Ouray county, and warned
never to return to Telluride or San
Miguel county. The strike which cul-
minated in this outbreak of violence
was ordered by the miners union on
May l last. 1t followed the refusal of

And Got Away with Booty Valued at from
Thirty to Fifty Thousand Dollars.
Grand Forks, Mont, July 5.-Train
No. 3, west-bound on the Great North
ern, was held up about 2:02 p. m.
Wednesday at Wagner Station, 1916
miles west of this place, by three
masked men, who blew open the ex-
press car, using dynamite, and Sc
cured the entire contents of the
through express safe, estimated at
$4,000 to $4,000. One of the robbers
boarded the train a few miles from
the scene of the hold-up. When the
train reached the place where his con-
federates were lying in wait, in ra-
vine alongside the track, he pulled the
bell cord, and as the train slowed down
jumped to the engine, and presenting
rifle forced the fireman and engineer
to abandon their engine.
AS the passengers began to look out
of the windows fusillade of shots
swept a longside the coaches and was
continued several minutes. Dynamite
was quickly exploded in the express
car, tearing the car to pieces, and the
through safe was blasted open and its
contents removed, after which the rob-
bers mounted good horses and rode
away to the Bad Lands. A posse is in
pursuit, but capture is improbable.
Three passengers who ventured to
look out of the windows in the day
coach were struck by bullets, but not
seriously injured.

Mr.. Dawes has had this action under
