in the Delaware Hospital in a dying
condition, as a result Of throwing a
glass Of beer in the face of Harry w.
Fish, a rigger in the Harlan and Hol-

Fish, who is in the cus,6dy of the po-
lice, refuses to make any statement.
1t was at the noon hour, when Null
lin and the prisoner had some words
and Mullin threw the beer
Fish drew his revolver and shot the
man in the right side beneath rhe
arm. Mullin fell to the floor, and Of
ficer McGarvey, who was near, and
was attracted by the noise, captured
the man with the smoking revolver in
his hand.
Dr. J. Harvey Spruance was called
and after staunching the blood had the
man taken to the Delaware Hospital in
the Phoenix ambulance.
Mullen is in a critical condition, and
the doctors have not succeeded in
finding the bullet.
