SHOOTING SCRAPE
At COAL CREEK
Two Italians After a Mer-
chant With Guns.
Innocent Boy Shot Through the
Leg-Fight Result of an Old
Grudge-Florence Lady's
Narrow Escape.

Quite a serious shooting atfray oc-
CURED in Coal Greek last evening,
which resulted in one man losing II
finger, and an innocent bystander,
the little son of Harry Miller, being
shot through the leg
1t seems that an Italian with an
unpronouncable name had borne an
ancient grudge against Ben Martino,
merchant. Last evening Martino
was assaulted by his enemy and n
fight ensued The former was get.
ting the best of it when the aggressor
managed to pull gun. Martino
grabbed the gun by the muzzle and
succeeded in keeping it turned away
Mike Fabrezio ran up and secured the
revolver after which the Italian drew
long knife. Fabrezio also secured
this weapon.
MARITIME then let his antagonist get
up when he again advanced and was
promptly knocked down. He got up
and walked away. Martino returned
to his store and later washed his
hands. He opened side door, near
the hotel dining room, to throw out
the water when he discovered his as
sailant's brother in the narrow alley
with a gun. The merchant slammed
fired, the ball crushing through the
door and took off finger for Martino
The latter ran for the front door and
there he met the other brother with
"a shot gun and the brothers closed in
on the defenceless merchant. Several
shots were fired, one taking effect
In the boys leg as stated above.
The two desperadoes We're finally
disarmed and placed in the lookup,
and strong guard was placed around
the building to battle any attempt that
might be made to liberate the pris-
oners.
One feature of tho shooting was
the narrow escape of Miss Ida Brough-
ton of this city. Miss Broughton
visits Coal Greek for portion of each
week in the interests of the millinery
department of s B. Austin of Flor
euce. When the shooting began she
was in the dining room OF the hotel,
aud before she had time to move a
bullet crashed through the window
aud came so close to her head that she
felt the wind and heard the spinning
sound from the flying missile. Miss
Broughton is still quite nervous from
her fright.

BIG GAS WELL.
H. McDougall, Oil Expert, Located
the Ohio Well.

W. b. Lowry came home yesterday
afternoon from Marietta, o., with
confirmation of the discovery of gas
in large quantities in we'll near
Marietta, o., by Denver syndicate
composed of George e. Ross Levin,
A. NJ Stevenson and half dozen
other well known citizens, including
himself.
"The well is big one" said Mr.,
Lowry. 1T is producing 1000, 900
cubic feet every "a hours, which is
large even for that country, where gas
and oil wells are common. The gas
is worth 20 cents 900 cubic feet.
We have already commenced to pipe
the gas into towns between the well
and Marietta. 1t is owned by few
of us, close corporation, and not
an incorporated company. There are
no other gas wells in that immediate
vicipity-Denver Republican.
| The above we'll was located by H.
McDougal the oil expert with his oil
locating instrument in January last at
Chesterhill, Ohio. He then re-
turned to Denver and formed this
company and has personally superin-
tended the work.
Mr.. McDougal writes T, e. Spencer
with whom he IL associated in the
location of oil wells, that owing to
the great pressure, only six inches
can be drilled per day; that no water
or bailer can be put in the well.
The towns are anxious to have the gas
piped to their doors
The Florence daily tribune., 1902-06-11

The water superintendent is
throughly advised as. to who the
parties are that are taking fish from
the city reservoirs. TheS are re-
sponsible parties and know better,
and while the superintendent dislikes
to cause them any trouble, he is pre-
pared to prosecute any parties who fish
in tue reservoir.

WILL GRAHAM
JOINS EAGLES
He Will Do the Twirling
Next Sunday.
Will Play c. F. & l. Team at Pu-
eblo Park-Team Will be
Strengthened--Graham
Arrives Tomorrow.

viii Graham has been secured to
pitch for the Florence Eagles and
will be here tomorrow from Kemmerer.
Wyo The young man is well known
in Florence having been raised in this
county. 1t is said that he is hard to
beat as twirler Fred Westlake
who pitched the last three games with
out any previous practice, and who
showed plainly that he is hard man
to hit, will go back to his place in
center field. 1t seems to be more
difficult to secure good fielders than
to find good pitchers, and as the man
agement has never found anyone who
could do as good work in center as
WestlaSe, that seems to be the place
to put him
The Eagles will play the c. F. q
l. company's team on the Pueblo dia-
mond next Sunday and they are GO
ing down to win.
The team needs some new material
and if Graham comes up to all
expectation the team viii be mater
tally strengthened by his work.
Another addition or two like him
wouldn't hurt

Observation-Disclosures

The above dispatch was received
about II O'Clock this morning, but up
TO the time of going to press it could
not be confirmed 1t was learned,
however, that violent wind storm
swept through that portion of the
state this morning, destroying all
telegraphic communication with
Bloomington, 1t is possible that a
portion of the city was swept by the
storm and it is probable that it was
attended with loss of life.

Cur Sunday Morning Trade.

Our Sunday Go.niug trade; is it
righ.?
Did ; ou ever SIT OF your porch or
az your window ON sunday morning
and watch the men going home from
town with paper sacks and bundles
and notice who they were? am
sorry TO say that large per cent of
this number are our best citizens
and some 0f them are our church
members. Do you not buy articles
which could be bought on Saturday,
and Is you have not time enough 20
procure them Saturday evening or
night the Lord ray remove some
of your business, for Is not this en-
couraging Sunday opening and
thereby keeping others from service?
This may be from thoughtlessness
more than willfulness, but is that a
valid excuse9 This is calculated to
hurt your PASTORS feelings. 1t
hurts the church; but far more than
all, Ii hurts the cause of Christ.
Think we'll before you do it again.

Tree Planting Continues.

Tree planting on University Hill
seems TO have become contagious.
A wonderful change has been made
in the appearance of the surround
ings and the work of planting still
continues. A large force of men
were at work this morning digging
holes and setting trees along the
streets. All who are going to plant
trees this season should do so at
once as 1t will soon be too late to do
any good. And then they ought to
be planted before the corner stone
Is laid on the 21st inst.
The building committee visited
the University grounds this morn
ing for the purpose of making suit
able arrangements for the exercises
pertaining to the corner stone lay
ing. A platform for the speakers

modations viii be made Oh the sec
ond story of the building for the
