YOUNG THUG SHOT DEAD
WHILE BEATING OFFICER
Patrolman j. M. Lyon Kills Joe Smith in Lone
Star Saloon to Save Himself From
Serious Injury
Policeman Prostate Under Blows of ASSaant When Fatal
Shot Is Fired, Removing Terror of the TenderIon

Joe Smith, a notorious character of
the under world, was shot and
killed by Policeman John NJ.
Lyon last night at 9:45 o'clock in the
Lone Star saloon, 50 South West Tenn
pie street. It was a swift and sudden
ending of a bad career, such as had of
ten been predicted. Smith had earned
the sobriquet of Fighting joe" chiefly
through his exploits in attacking pO-
licemen. He was also a terror to his
associates Of the tenderloin.
Smith first attracted the attention of
the police about ten years ago. Since
that time he was arrested a number of
times for various petty offenses and
served one term for burglary in the
state peTtentiary. He pretended to be
a peddler, but spent his time chiefly
with disreputable women, from whom
he extorted their earnings. Where he
came from the police were never able
to learn.

night recalled desperate struggles they

Policeman Lyon, who fired the fatal
shot, has been on the police force for
about two years. Before that he was
for d number of years employed by
the Utah Light & Railway company.
He lived at 1044 South Ninth East
street.
A Desperate Struggle.
The struggle which resulted in
Smiths death grew out of Policeman
Lyons attempt TO place Fighting joe
under arrest. The policeman was de-
tailed to investigate the theft Of a va
lise from a West Temple lodging house
and first entered the Lone Star saloon
about o'clock last night in search of
a man named Bobby Laws. He found
Smith standing at the bar and asked
him if he had seen Laws. Smith re-
piled that Laws was in another saloon

They were Edward NJ. Brush of Balti-

New York. Dr.. Brush testified that
Mrs. Bradley was sane when she shot
Senator Brown. He said he could find
nothing in her family history, her acts
or her physical or mental condition to
suggest that she was insane at that
time.
DR. Jelliffe declared the defendant

to choose between right and wrong.

Prayers of the Prosecution.

On the opening of court District At

the prosecution TO the court, saying
they did not cover the points of muir

The government prayers are as fol-
lows:

a sane person has no right to Kill an

have been wronged by another. no
matter how much reason the person
doing the killing may have for hating

how wild may be the anger and pas
