 l Tucson, Ariz., Oct. 2S.-nxcitenent | reigned in Tucson lest evening | There were stories afiOat that the | sheriff had killed man and that two ! or three more were wounded unto | death.
 The source of all the excitement was at the Willard hotel, and the time about o'clock in the evening.
 Alexander Casey, who owns the hc- tel. tanked up on fighting whisky and then the trouble began Casey was
 in room II, winch is on the nailwaj that runs from the office to the amin room. During the time he was in the room he was entertaining himself by loudly swearing and. violently calling for vengeance. Some of the at taches of the hotel were requested to quiet him, and in the meantime he opened up his battery and fired flu sillade through the door into the ha-.-
 way. The first volley was followe by several more, as the bullet holes in the door will attest Tn the meantime Wm. Stewart nac arrived at the door and upon his ar rival Casey emerged from his strong hold MT. Stewart motioned to shake hands, with the ejaculation of How are you, Mir Casey? Haven't seen you today." Casey swore violently and with a pistol in his hand threat ened immediate destruction. Casey then took his way to the office and to the outside on the north Of the bul..- ing, where he took couple Of pot shots at Cleaner, the head waiter, neither of which took effect. Cleaner hastenel' to the telephone and summoned the peace officers to the scene By the time the officers arrived it appears that Casey ha- again entered the house and made show to resist arrest. Before he was overcome and placed under restraint number of shots were exchanged between himself and the officers Among the officers were Sheriff Mur phy and deputies and constables Fraz-
 CT and Pacheco. During the melee Constable Pacheco was wounded in the arm and Casey sustained fes- wounds in the left arm, in the flesh near the left arm pit and slight scratch near the left ear. Nei-.-eI sv, any serious manner.
 Casey was overpowered and taken to- the county jail. Dr. Gould was called and dressed his wounds. pro- nouncing none of them serious. At the time Casey was able to remove his shirt with dexteZity, and insisted that he was only scrGtohee.
 All o{ the parties at the hotel were extremely reticent when approached by a reporter and it IS difficult to as certain the cause of Casey's anger or what prompted him to his wild and dangerous eScapade. Anger towards his wife is partly the cause. but Mrs. Casey aatiy Eefusea 10 say word con- cerning the affair It is claimed by the friends Of Casey, of whom he has many, that he is mentally unbalanced, and when ID his cups, he is violent.
 From evidence apparent at the ho- tel there was at least forty shoSs fired, but on this score reliable infOr- matIon could not be secured. l. IS little less than miraculous that some one or dozen were not killed. Bur lets struck the door of the main en- trance and marks checkered all over the clustering of the office anG. hall way
 Casey came here about eighteen months ago from Gleason, in Cochise county, where he had at that time just sold mine for S30,000. Upon his ar rival here he built the Willard hotel, which is one of the most substantial buildings in the city. He was married 10 Mrs. Casey about nine months ago, she being at that time the postmis- tress at Gleason. He is mining man, and now has deal on for SsG- 900.
 Casey for some time has been out of jail under a peace bond for an as sault upon his wife.
 Inasmuch as be is considered men tally unbalanced; by his friends, he will probably be Kept under restraint for the present. More serious dam age might result if he was turned loose this morning on another bond.
 Casey has many friends throughout the southern part Of the territory among the influential men. A tele phone message was sent last night to Judge James Rieliy, of Tombstone to defend him. Martin Costello, the mil Iionaire mine owner, was also sent for Both Judge Reilly and Mr. Cos tello are old-time friends Of Casey.
 Casey came to this .sectioe of the country about twenty years ago and located at Turquoise, where he became interested ;a turquoise claims iD that camp, selling HIS interest lin them three years ago at an enormoss figure. He IS well known to old residents of Tombstone, where he was farnl,iar figure in the early days of that camp.
