With an expression of confidence in
their ability to apprdhend the murderer
of Joseph Marine. who was shot and
killed early this morning. the police are
continuing their search for tamale
man who is known as Bull Dog the
alleged murderer.
The shooting, which resulted fatally
for "Tamae joe as Marino was known.
took place about l o'clock this morning
in the Swiss Home saloon, at Mercury
and Arizona streets.
The men were both tanale peddlers.
and much mystery surrounds the cause
of the tragedy. though it is supposed
that the vendors engaged in quarrel
over the districts in which they We're
selling their goods.
Trouble Over Business.
AS near as can be learned from the
stories of those who saw the men just
before and at the time the shooting took
place the peddlers met at the corner of
Mercury and Arizona streets about 1
O'Clock and became engaged in a discus
sion over their business. and then en-
tered the saloon to settle their diff
cultes.
Just what happened after the men
went into the saloon is matter of dis
pute among those who We're present.
This much is apparent. however: Joseph
Marine was shot twice and died within
a few minutes from the time he received
his wounds. Both bullets entered his
breast.
Whether Salvagora. Bull Dog" wa.
the only man to use a gun is a matter
about which there is dispute. Some wit
nesses say that Marine fired at least one
shot, While others claim that there We're
only two shots fired. Detective Murphy
said this morning that from his investi-
cations he was inclined to think both
men used guns.
Not Seriously Hurt.
If Bull Dog was fired upon he evil
IDENTIFY was not very seriously injured,
for he was able to back out of the sa-
loon and make his escape after the shoot |
ing took place.
The police were soon at the saloon and |
took charge of the body of Marine. An |
inquest will be held on the remains at |
Sherman's undertaking rooms this even
ing. and the investigation of the coroner |
may throw some light on the cause of the |
killing.
The officers started promptly to make
a. search for the murderer but he had a |
few minutes the start of them, and in
the darkness made good his escape, for
the time at least.
The fact that the police seem confident
of arresting the offender. makes it seem
probable that they have Information to |
the effect that he is still in the city.
The difficulty of searching for the MUIR |
derer is greater because of the fact that !
many of those who are acquainted with |
him and who knew Marine speak English !
Emperfectly.
Discussing the Tragedy.
Many of the countrymen of the dead |
man gathered about the saloon where |
the murder took place this morning and !
discussed the tragedy in their own Ian
guage. |
The killing caused great excitement
among them. A few of them hurried to
the police to give the officers what in
formation they could in regard to the
probable whereabouts of the murderer.
Marine lived at 124H Arizona street
with his partner in the tamale business.
