In the Hand.

A shooting affray occurred on Fri
day afternoon ON the sidewalk in front
of Thomas furniture store on Sixth
st rect, in which II. S. Dolan was
wounded in the hand by II. L. Ben
nett The casual spectators on the
busy street saw man meet two other
men and apparently engage them in
conversation. After a few seconds
the first party, Bennett, drew huge
revolver which he flourished, ap-
parently in sportive manner. Dolan
reached for his hip pocket when Ben
nett began shooting, Dolan at the same
instant grasping the barrel of the
weapon and DETECTING the aim. Two
shots were fired. both taking effect in
Dolans left hand. Bennett then
walked down the street with his re-
volver still drawn, turned the corner
at the Layton hotel, walked few
steps down II street, then turned and
presented the revolver, butt foremost
to the crowd of men who had assem-
bled. There was no perceptible rush
to secure the weapon and IL looked
for few seconds as though it might
find no takers. Ex-Marshal ]. ID.
Stevens appeared on the scene and,
walking up, seized the revolver
Several citizens assisted and Bennett
was taken to the city Jail. He was
removed to the county Jail n little
later.
Dolau was taken to DR. Mooro's
Office where his wound was dressed.
One bullet had passed through the
center of his hand, breaking no bones.
The other grazed the third finger,
taking off the nail and portion of
the skin and fiesn One Of the bullets
perforated the glass front Of Thomas
store fully 10 feet above the sidewalk.
Bennett is miner aud has worked
in the camps in different portions Of
the county for several years. His
version of the affair is that while he
was taking a nap that morning at the
hobo camp, the two men had abstract
ed some money from his pock.
cts. When he met them on
the street that afternoon he tried to
persuade them to give part of 1t back,
saying he was n poor man and could
not afford to lose it. They treated
the proposal with scorn, which an
gered Bennett and he drew his gun.
When he saw Dolan reach for his hip
pocket, he fired.
Dolan and his companion, Nj. r..
Owens, tell an altogether different
story They have been working near
Gold Hill as linemen in the employ OF
the Western Union Telegraph Co.
The day before, they had quit work
and come down to Grants Pass.
Owens says that some time before the
shooting ON Friday, Bennett had i'm.
portnned him to buy drink and that
he had refused, as the man was total
stranger to him. He and Dolan say
this is the only acquaintance they had
with Bennett prior to the shooting
that when they met on the street
Benefits anger was kindled aEains
Owens, presumably on account Of The
former occurrence When Bennett
drew his gun, Dolan reached for hi
lineman's pliers to defend himself
when Bennett began shooting.
Bennett's preliminary hearing va
set for Monday morning, bat at tina
time he waived examination and 1
held for trial at the coming term o
! circuit court.

Dick Harrison Killed.

Last evening R. w. Harrison, the young stock raiser, who was shot about ? o'clock near Washington Camp. by Jerry Sheehy, died before the physi- clans from Nogales arrived at the scene of the tragedy Dick Harrison, the dead man, and Sheehy. who killed him. have for years been the best of friends; it is almost impossible to be ,ieve the killing was justi6able.
 If reports of the affair which has caused the death of one of Santa Cruz county's most prominent and success ful citizens are true, the killing was done in a murderous cowardly manner and Jerry Sheehy should be made to pay the full penalty of his crime.
 Sheriff Turner left yesterday for the scene of the killing with a warrant for Sheehy's arrest The dead man was we'll liked in Nogales and Santa Cruz county and his passing is deeply re- gretted. He was a brother of Super visor J A. Harrison
 Later Sheriff Turner has teiephon- ed that Sheehy is in his custody and is now at Washington Camp. where he will be given a preliminary hearing be- fore the justice of the peace.
