SHOOTING AT PEARCE

to Kill His Mistress.

The town of Pearce was thrown into
excitement Thursday when it
was reported that Bessie Hunt, a girl
of easy virtue, had been shot in her
room by Jim Williams. says the Doug
las International-Am
Officers were notified and at once pro-
ceeded to the girls room where they
found her suffering from several
wounds, one in the jaw a very serious
one. One finger of her left hand had
been shot entirely away and two mora
were torn partly off.
Williams. the man who was with the
girl when she was shot, was taken into
custody and is now held a prisoner.
Williams claims that the shooting
was accidental and tells story to the
effect that he was in the room with
Bessie Hunt and had laid his gun on 4
table. In passing the table he struc <
the gun and to prevent it from falling
to the floor he grabbed at it, when it
was accidentally discharged. The girl
is said to have corroborated this state
ment. The serious character of the
wound in the girls jaw rendered her
removal to the hospital at Tombstone
necessary and without loss of time she
was put into a conveyance and Started
for that place.
Williams was arrested and taken to

looms. He did boxing stunts in the
Copper Belt theater. Nearly a year ago
he married young woman who work
ed as a waitress in several of the res
taurantS of the town. He treated her
in such shameful manner that she
went to work in the saloons en- Sixth.
She became ill, and in a respondent
mood one day, about eight months ago,
took morphine and committed suicide.
Williams acted in such an Indifferent
and heartless manner thai his disreput-
able friends were disguised with him.
The habitues of Sixth street took up a
subscription and gave Williams wife
a decent burial.
Bessie Hunt is the daughter of j. S.
Hunt and wife and is seventeen years
OLD. The family have been residents
of Douglas for about two years.
Some months ago Williams became
acquainted with Bessie Hunt and conf
menced paying her attentions. which
lead to her ruin. At various times he
took her into the back rooms of sa-
looms on Sixth street and other places.
The actions of his daughter was
brought to the attention of Mr.. Hunt
and he made an effort to break up the
relation between his daughter and WILL
Jams. One evening he learned that his
daughter and Williams were in the Orc
! Plata, or half way house, one of the
toughest joints in Douglas. Hunt got
shotgun and started for the place
with the intention of killing Williams.
Someone notified Williams and he es-
capped, leaving town. The girl disap-

So they secured a little of the sculp-

he can get sight of the wild animals he
