eigners in the Middle Kingdom, he said,

Five shots rang out on the noon-hour
stiffness in rapid succession. An ca
cited people ran in the direction OF the
shooting and in n very few minutes hum
dreds of men, women and children were
congregatcd in front of the Elk saloon
ON Pike street, conducted by j. j. Con-
nell.
George Penn, colored, had shot ut
Henry Young, familiarly known as one
armed Jack. The balls all went Wild
of the mark. but poor dog belonging
to Harvey Williams was the victim of
one of the bullets.
Both men were drinking, it seems.
and Penn was standing by nm awning
pole in front of the saloon, in fact hav-
ing that tired feeling, he was leaning
against it. Young was on the other
side of the street and, when lie saw Penn
taking life so licsurciy and quietly. lie
stepped across the street to where he
was standing and slapped him on the
shoulder rnther roughly. without a
word Penn jcrked out revolver and
began TO shoot. Young was game and
stood his ground. The shooting was
in such rapid succession, however. that
Young did not have time 20 realize his
peril. The two men were not more than
five feet apart when the shooting oc-
CURED.
Policeman Harry Brooks was stand
ing ON the corner of Pike and North
Third street Mt the time, and h. hurried
to the scene. When the men sax, the
policeman coming they tried 10 -4t
away, Penn going west and Young dis
appearing in saloon near at hand The
officer overlook Penn in front of k.cns.
GERS furniture store. Penn showed re-
distance by pointing the gun Mt the
officer. The latter grabbed him by the
neck with one hand and the muzzlc Of
the gun with the other, and threw kim
down on the street. Penn still held fast
to the deadly weapon, and when lie
succeeded in gazing his feet scuf,lc en-
sued, and the policeman threw him
through the large front window, bronk-
ing it all in pieces. At that juncture he
succeeded in getting possession of tie
revolver and Penn submitted to arrest.
After he was put in prison. the officer
went in quest of Young. and foun.l him
in the White Front saloon. He arrest
ed him and placed him in the city prison
too.
In the cells they soon made up and
talked the matter over freely. Pom
stated to reporter that he had been
IN the saloon drinking with fellow
named Henry. the last name he lid not
know. He claimed that the fellow had
a gun that belonged to him and that
he would not give it to him. In the
presence of Jack he stated that Henry
shot Mt him first, but he whispered that
Jack fired the first shot. Jack said the
fellow who had PENIS gun was Henry
Banks.
Both parties to the ARRAY are en-
ploycs of \. W. Martin, the contractor.
Penn will. in all probability. I've held
for the gravy jury. Young seem. not
to have been much at fault.
