A MIGHTY CLOSE CALL
The Notorious Dry Head Hole-in he-Wall
the Scene Of Shooting ARRAY
Last Friday.
UNHORSED BY A BULLET
"Doc" Neiland Plunks Harry Mogan and
Ball Strikes Rib Link Hannan's
Narrow Escape.

If ribs were not part of the human
anatomy Harry Nogan. a rancher resid-
ing in the Dry Head country, some sixty
miles from Bridger, would doubtless now
be too dead to skin. and B. G. Neiland,
familiarly kuown as Doc. a well=known
prospector Of the Big Horn country,
would either be fugitive from justice
or else behind the bars, charged With
murder. As it is, Mogan is now in Bill
ings suffering from an lnconseQuentlal
flesh wound, while Neiland is under sur
yeillance i'll Bridger, under bonds. await
ing preliminary hearing on a charge Of
assault III the first degree.
The shooting atiray took place at Mo
gan's ranch shortly after noon last Fri
day and was the result Of bad blood
existing between the two men. Neiland,
accompanied by j. "A. King ana the two
Graham brothers, started out for a
hunting trip, all being on horseback.
Arriving at the ranch gate, they We're
about to enterfor the purpose OF going
through the place, when Mogan, accom-

panied by u. G. Hannah, rode up. Ad-
dressing Neiland, Mogan said, The rest
can 60 through my ranch if they want
to, but you, you -=----+ +-
will have to 60 around.
With this remark, he grabbed hold OF
Neiland with the, intention of pulling
him off his horse, whereupon Neiland
threw his Winchester rifle across the
saddle and, without taking aim, pulled
the trigger. The ball struck Mogan in
the left breast, directly over the heart,
but fortunately hit rib, glanced off and
came out under the arm, producing only
a slight flesh wound. Mogan fell from
his horse and, on regaining his feet,
pulled his six-shooter and took two
shots at Neiland, who had disEaounted
and was fleeing on foot, having found it
impossible to get away fast enough on
horseback, owing to the fact that he
had another horse snubbed to the saddle
horn. Finding that he couldn't accom-
complish anything with his six-shooter,
Mogan secured his rife. attached to his
saddle, and taking deliberate aim, with
rest, fired four shots at his rapidly
fleeing assailant, none Of which hit the
mark. The injured man then went to
his house, where his wounds We're
dressed, and shortly afterward started
for Billings on horseback. Arriving in
that city he proceeded to the Driscoll
hotel and surgeon was summoned to
render the necessary attention. When
last heard Of Mogan was at Hannan's
home in Billings.
News Of the shooting was telephoned
by Hannah at Bridger to Sheriff Potter
Saturday forenoon. The sheriff imme-
diately started for that coal camp, pro
ceeding overland. On reaching Bridger
he deputized Constable Charles Lenoir
and, accompanied by Hannah, struck
out for the Dry Head country in quest
of the fugitive. In the meantime il

Calculator with Two Brains.

A man with two brains is surely a
novelty, yet DR.. CharcOt, the French
specialist, inclines to the idea that
Mandi, the lightning calculator and hui.
man phonograph, is so blessed. This
phenomenon made his first appearance
at the Paris hippOdrome, and he Is
certainly new attraction to the al.
ready big list Of "stars" at that house.
His memory for figures is mainly audi
tive. One of his feats is the addition
of six lines of six figures, multiplica-
ton of six figures by six figures, the
division of SIX figures by five figures
and the extraction of the square and
cube roots of FIVE figures all at once.

SLOW OF ATTAINMENT.
The Pur nit of Fame Is Long, Tedi.
Gus Chase.

The Pur nit of Fame Is a Long, Tedi-
Gus Chase.
Fame is a thing, frequently, of slow
achievement. The excellence of an
actor must be repeatedly declared and
most positively asserted before the
public in general can be brought to
consider him seriously, no matter how
seriously he may take himself; and,
though he may have come to some
thing Of a safe place in the esteem Of
few, the wayering majority are so re-
luctantly brought to the door of the
theater that, like Irving or Jefferson,
the players hair may have grown gray
before the skeptical nobOdies deign to
bestow upon him their begrudged ap-
probation.
Cibber, you know, pronounced Gar
rick "well enough" and Foote rounded
out things with the malicious remark
that the hound" had something In
him, "but if his excellence" he as ex-
pressed it, "was to be examined, he
would not be found in any part equal
to COlley Cibber's Sir John Brute, Lard
Foppington, Sir Courtly Nice or Justice
Shallow" This was when Garrick
was a young, and, according to Ponds
portrait, a very handsome fellow, his
years not more than 25, and his beauty
such as to have attracted the envy of
the idols of the town. Foote'S compari-
son was made, not out Of any justice to
Cibber, whom he did not like, but sim
ply through ill-will to Garrick, whose
rising influence he feared.
Roscius, it is said, had squint In his
eye, and Churchill, with others, found
fault with Garrick's littleness of person,
and laughed at his airs and ridiculed
his pretentions. Quinn was a better
Falstaff than Garrick was a Lear, said
this determined detractor, and "old
Johnson" far more natural In every
thing he attempted. So, to follow Hor-
aces description, Mrs. Porter sur
passed him in passionate tragedy, Glib
ber and O'Brien were beyond his reach
as coxcombs and men Of fashion, Mrs
Give more perfect in low comedy, and
yet Ranger, he admitted, was the part
that suited Garrick better than any
thing he had ever performed. He was,
If Walpole is to be believed, a poor Lo-
thario, ridiculous Othello, inferior to
Quinn in Sir John Brute and Macbeth
and to Cibber in Bayes, and a woeful
Lord Hastings and Lord Townley. The
town, according to this distinguished
critic, did not like him in "Hotspur," :"
and yet he said, II don't know If he did
not succeed in 1t beyond all the rest"
