WITH READY WEAPON
HE WENT AFTER HIM
The Outcome of an Imaginary Wrong
Plus a Fancy dag.


Steve Callahan last evening while
in state of intoxication, made an as
sault with a cooked revolver on Joe
Phelps, stage driver, in Shattuck &
NimmOs store and now lies in the city
bastile waiting developments. A war
rant has been sworn out charging him
with assault with intent to kill and
his preliminary hearing will probably
take place today. Callahan was form
erly employed with Shattuck G. Nimmo
as q horse sheer.
Sometime yesterday he began to
tank UP and procuring a 3S calibre re-
volver, said he was going to get some
body. At the time he did not name
any one individual upon whom HOSTILE
ties would be commenced. He was in
Shattuck & Nimmo's store when Mr..
Phelps came in from his trip. Gala
han at once started towards him, pull
ed his gun and cooked it. A killing
might have resulted but for the quick
action of Phelps.
Seeing his danger he grabbed the
gun close up to the hammer thus pre-
Venting it striking the fateful blow,
and wrenched the revolver from his
drunken assailant's grasp. At the same
time he dealt him a grapevine on the
chin which sent Callahan to the floor.
He was not out however, and came up
| fighting and furious, saying Il will get
you anyway somehow"
Phelps delivered another thump
which proved to be the one that put
Callahan to sleep AS the latter fell
his head struck against the counter
and he was at once hors de combat.
Callahan was unconscious for some
time. the main injury being a severe
cut on the head. He was later locked
| up by the officer.
