ROBERT MORGAN IS
 SHOT BY DEACHAM
Both Men Well Known at
 EnsIey
WOUND MAY PROVE FATAL
Though Morgan Is still in Uncertain Condition Beaeham Is Released on $1ooo Bond-ouarrel Over
 Wages.

Ensley, June e.-(Speeial)-I.as night about 10 o'clock Robert Morgan, a brickmasen, was shet and severely, if not fatally, wounded by w, B. Beacham, an architect and builder. The tragedy oc- cured in Beaehams room ever the Cres- cent Grocery store on Avenue F between Twentieth and Twenty=first streets. Three shots were fired by Beacham, only one of which took effect in Mergan's left breast Just below the cellar bone, pro- ducing a rather dangerous wound, The ambulance of Behols & Angwin was called immediately, and Morgan was taken to his home on Avenue G and Twentyafeurth street, where pr, ". Fl. Wyhne was summoned to attend him. After the shooting Beaeham surrendered himself to the officers, and was locked up in the city jail,
 Dispute Over Pay.
 It seems that the difficulty grew out of H dispute between Beacham and Morgan and two other men, who are also brick masons, about payment for some brick work done for Beacham on house at owenton, Robert Morgan, his brother. Will Morgan, and Fred Fisher wero em- ployed by Beaoham, and last night was the time for settlement. Tho three men ployed by Beacham's office yesterday evening between and o'clock to receive payment for the weeks work, when the dispute arose as to how much was due them Beacham claimed that some of tho work was not done properly, and that 1t would either have to be done over or he would deduct the cost of 1t from their wages. This did not suit Morgan and his companions. and 1t is understood that they abused Beacham roundly, but offered no violence at that time. They returned, however, about 10 o'clock for the pur- pose, it seems, of renewing the dispute, when Beacham told them he would not stand any more of their abuse
 He drew his pistol, 1t is claimed, and ordered them out of his room. The men refused to go and Morgan advanced and laid hold of Beacham, who, 1t is said, im- mediately began firing, with the result as above stated. The shots were heard by many people along the street, and soon quite a crowd had collected.
 Course of Ball.
 
 stated that he could not locate the ball, but thought that it had ranged down ward and was lodged in the intestines, and gave it as his opinion that the wound is a dangerous one, and might result fatally. A consultation was held this afternoon by Drs. Wynne. Clark and Robbins, and Morgans condition was found to be practically unchanged. He was carried to St. Vincents hospital in Birmingham.
 Morgan is a man about 30 years of ago and has a wife and two children. He has been in Ensley for some time and so far as can be learned has borne a good reputation.
 Beacham has been In Ensey for sev- eral years, coming here from North Caro- lima. and Is unmarried. He is a promi- nent member of the Baptist church and also an active member of the Knights of Pythias.
 He Is about 50 years of age and Is a very quiet and peaceable citizen.
 Beacham was released on a 5000 bond this afternoon.

An Italian tight-rope walker performing in this country, rushed into the money order department in Washington and de- olared that he had been defrauded. He had been told that he could send money directly to his wife in southern Italy. He had sent $50 from Buffalo, giving his wife's maiden name, and the name of her father, but emitting to mention the fact that she was married woman, whereupon the Italian postoffice refused to make payment It was explained to him that although 1t was customary in Italy to address q married woman by her maiden name the husbands name must be given before a money order could be paid. He thereupon demanded that the $50 be turned over to him at once. He was going to Italy and would carry the money in his pocket. After further dis cussion he was made to understand that the form of settlement suggested was irn- practicable. With the bow of comic opera star, and elaborate complinents to the young woman who won his heart by talking to him In his native tongue, he expressed himself as being satisfied and invited the entire ofhfe force to att tend his show,

With a love for the beautiful of

From the silent grandeur of the hills
To the music of the ripping rills.

With its modest face raised to the

AS its silvery notes float through the

Whom the gods immortal made
On the classic heights where Cupid

JEAN HELD.

In the curious little studio over his
fathers art store, Jean Held spends
the greater part of his time with the
work he loves. When a student of
the High School, he did the illustrat-
ing for Red and Black displaying or
iginal and clever drawings. He was
born under the blue skies of Salt
Lake City twenty years ago. His
ancestry, of French and Swiss nation
alities, were all talented artists, so
Jean comes by his ability naturally.
It is his ambition to become an il
illustrator and at present he is engag-
ed in making caricatures of profess
sional theatrical stars. Maud Adams
is one of the students admirers and
on her recent engagement in Salt
Lake. gave him her photograph as
Peter Pan with original signature
which adorns the wall of the studio.
Several theatrical pictures recently
completed are of exceptional merit,
especially Before The Overture"
"The Curtain Call''-Gn oiD, "Song
and Dance" Gin water COLOR, 1.-THE
Concert Hall Artist" and Hoop Rol-
Ter" Gin pasteD show more than or
binary ability. From his earliest
childhood, Jean evideHoed the I'M
usual nature of his talent for draw
ing and illustrating, but his work is
mostly of humorous type. His
burlesque of The Utah Art exhibit
should make a successful run as a
poster.
Fink, of Boston, recently published

In appearance he is decidedly ath-

his hands show muscular strength
