Many of you old pioneers still re-
Bar, who answered T. the name of
Sam Mccarthy, at one time, duriue
Territorial days, county attorney by
appointment. Mccarthy, or Mac
as he was best known, was indeed
genius in some respects, and a
young man of promise if he had
trod the path of rectitudc but, ex-
tremely self-important, VIGOROUSLY
erratic and rather light weight in
conscientious scruples As Mac
used to say shame was something
he had often heard of but never
felt. l don't think Mac ever knew
what fear was, as he feared no
thing natural or supernatural.
Tom Riley was an honest, hard
working miner, also resident of
Rocky Bar at that time-a man of
sterling qualities who strictly
minded his own business.
Riley had put a tunnel through
the Shake creek mining ground for
the White Star Mining company,
wildcat eastern concern, for which
! labor he had been unable to collect
his pay He put his case into Nc
Carthy's hands and Mac filed lcin
on the property and subsequently
brought foreclosure suit against
the company and obtained a. judge
ment in Riley's favor.
1t was asserted that subsequently,
the company had forwarded the
amount of the judgement against
them to Mccarthy, and that Mao
had forgotten" to settle with his
client. However, although the
judgement against the company
was matter of record In the dis
trict court for Riley's claim, in
Guiding attorneys fees and costs,
Mccarthy refused to call for an
execution of the company's proper
ty and the affair remained, as the
lawyers say, in statu quo.
In the spring of 1892, Riley and
Mac had quarrel over the affair in
Winkleback' saloon at Rocky Bar.
Pretty soon blows were exchanged
and challenge to fight it out with
guns was thrown down and picked
up by the other.
Riley then went to John Van
Sch lexis butcher shop and returned
with rifle in his hand. In the
meantime Mac, whose face was
bleeding profusely from the fistic
encounter, went into the Alturas
hotel opposite the saloon, washed
the blood. from his face and emerged
from the hotel office with a Smith
& Wesosn six-shooter in bis hand,
and took position on the stoop in
front of the office. Just then the
door of Wink's saloon opened just
enough to permit the passage of a
gun barrel, and through the narrow
opening a rifle was pointed toward
the hotcl-Riley being the man be-
hind the gun. Some shots were cx-
changed across the narrow street,
Riley WAS put out of business with
a bullet in one leg.
A stray bullet from Rilcy's gun,
missing Mac, went through the door
of the hotel office, striking Jim
Mundcl, who was seated in the no.
tel office reading his bible, and
o-reI q lung, pierced his body,

and Kellogg asked if ArchboId would

Among many organizations Kellogg
asked about were some operated by
T. NJ Barnsdale of Pittsburg and Okla
homa and Indian Territory, with whom
Governor Haskell of Oklahoma is ac-
quainted. Archbold knew Mr.. Barns
dale, but knew only a little about his
affairs beyond the fact he was large
operator and that the Standard did
not own or control his enterprises.
| On second thought, under Kellogg's
questions, he recollected contract

had initiated (but had not concluded
