FAMILY FEUD RESULTS IN
PROBABLY FATAL SHOTS
w. F. BeaIe Lies in the California
Hospital Suffering from Five
Wounds Inflicted by Cor
Iey's Revolver

Suffering from five gunshot wounds,
one of which destroyed one of his kid
neys and in all probability will prove
fatal. w. f. Beale, rancher living
near Covina, is a patient at the Califor-
mia hospital.
Beale was shot by o. o. Corley, who
lis employed by e. G. Cook, a brother
in-law of Beale, who lives near by.
The shooting is the elimination of
bad blood that has existed between
Cook and Corley on one side and Beale
on the other.
Corley states that Beale threatened
to kill him and that to protect himself
he (Corley) bought a revolver and had
been carrying the weapon of late. Cor
ley stated that on Thursday he was
driving d moving machine, when Beale
appeared and chased him around the
machine several times. Then Corley
drew his gun and fired five times, all
of the shots taking effect. Two bullets
struck Beale in the hands and the
other three in the body.
Corley surrendered to the officers
and was placed under arrest on a
charge of assault with dealy weapon.
He was released under bonds of $500,
which were furnished by Cook and
Claude G. Congdon, another brother
in-law of Beale.
After the shooting Beale was taken
to Congdons home and later brought
to Los Angeles to the California hos
pital, where he is being attended by
DR.. e. r. Smith.

bridge. The trouble was again renewed
when DR.. Silas ]. Brimhall drove after
them and brought Christopher back tc
the crowd, and an unidentified ice man
gave the unmannerly dog chaser a
good beating.
Patrolman Brown arrived on the
scene about this time and took the
combatants to the police station, where
they were booked on a charge of dis
turbing the peace.
The complaint of disturbing the peace
thoroughly covered the affair and the
battery charge against the dog catchers
was dismissed.
The attorney for the dog catchers
argued that the life of a canine catcher
was not an enviable one and that al
most everyone was against them; that
they had to contend with adverse pub
lie sentiment and that they had many
trials during the course of their work
Scored by Justice
Justice Chambers stated that the evil
dence showed that the men used pro-
fame language In the presence oil
women, and that all witnesses except
the defendants testified to that effect
He declared that under the city or
dinance the work of dog catchers was
legal, but that the men should use good
judgment and must take things good
naturedly. He said that not only die
the men fail to use good judgment, but
they attempted to overawe the people
1.-THE catching of one dog" said the
justice, "is not of sufficient importance
to warrant the action of the men in
disturbing the peace"
The men were found guilty as charged
and were asked when they would be
ready for sentence. Their attorney
asked that they be sentenced Saturday
and that they be released upon theil
own recognizance. The court replied
that the men would be required to givJ
bond for their appearance, and after
a consultation with his clients the at
tOrney announced that they were ready
for sentence at once.
Catalina produced $15, the amount ot
his fine, and was released, while Britt
and Christopher were unable to pay
their fines of $40 and $25 respectively
and were taken to jail. If their fines
are not paid they will have a chance
to reflect upon their poor judgment
while working with a ball and chair
attached to their legs.
Britt appeared downcast when the
amount of his fine was announced an6
sat with his face buried in his hands
His defiant bearing that characterized
his first appearance in the courtroom
had disappeared.
