REDDING, Jan. 1o.-There have been
several shooting scrapes at Keswick
within the past few days. beginning with
the old-blooded attempt to murder Dep
uty Sheriff Irons and ending Thursday
night in the shooting of Barney Wiley by
Mrs. Thompson, wife of a mine employe
al that place.
There is one peculiar feature about all
of this shooting 1t Is the fact that the
people of Keswick, and even the officers,
endeavor to keep the matters quiet and
prevent the public from learning the
facts. 1t is not stretching the truth to
say that the town of Keswic1 is Witness
ing veritable reign of terror and
whether 1t is because of fear or other

pioy OF the Mountain, "copper" Company
and had been loyal to tile companys In
terests. He did not so OUT on strike
when the strike was declared, and his

SHOTGUN MADE READY.

AS they sat chatting together Thursday
evening Mrs. Thompson heard noise on
the outside of the house. She went to the
door and saw two men sneaking away
from a woodpile near a window in the
house. She returned inside. took a
double-barreled shotgun, loaded it with
shells filled with goose shot and placed it
handy in case they were again visited
She did not have long to wait before
All opportunity presented itself to use
the gun. The noise was again heard, and
on quietly opening the door she perceived
man on the woodpile peeping in the
window. She raised the weapon to her
shoulder and fired With a cry of pain
the man dropped from his position and
disappeared into the darkness.
The next day Barney Wiley was placed
under the care of two physicians suffer-
ing from wounds made by goose shot.
Whether he meant to harm Thompson or
not is not known. but Mrs. Thompson
took no chances and Wiley got the bene-
fit of the shot. Wiley was a. candidate
for constable on the labor ticket at the
last election and he is striker. The
charge of shot struck him full in the
back of the body, just below the belt and
he is now confined in the Keswick Hotel.
BULLET IN HIS LEG.
The same day man named Evans,
lately from Texas, who had been known
to talk unfavorably about the strikers,
received shot in the leg. The shot was
fred by unknown parties and the affair
is surrounded by mystery.
The man who was shot by Deputy Sher-
iff Irons. when the attempt was made on
his life. is said by the very best author
ity to be in Keswick under surgical treat
ment, but it~is utter impossibility to
find out who he is or where he is located.
Persons living in Keswick who are
keeping close watch on affairs are conf
dent in the belief that there will be more
serious shooting at the smelter city before
many days are ended. The Sheriff's dep-
uties are being doubled, the company $
guards strengthened and all are ready
for the opening of hostlities, which It
looks like are sure TO occur
