WITNESSED THE SHOOTING.
But Was Not Near Enough to See
Who Was the Aaoressor.

But Was Not Near Enough to See
Who Was the Aggressor.
Miles City, Oct. 25.-John McClary,
who was probably the only witness of
the shooting of Ed Curl by George
Rock, at Jordan on Thursday, was in
town today. McClary's story is that
he was between 70 and IS yards
away when he heard four shots and
saw the gun flashes. 1t was about Z
o'clock and he was walking toward
Rocks house. He saw the figures of
Rock and Curl near each other, as if
~conversing, but it was too dark to be
certain whether or not Curl made any
demonstrations against Rock. Curl
was hit three times out of the four
shots fired. McClary went near
enough to find out who was shot and
then went to Degraffenreid's saloon
and told the boys there about 1t,
McClary took the train for Detroit
this morning.
