Bisbee daily review., 1909-09-07

stated pt Drs Wrt9ut at kne (ctunct Hospiatl that the condition of ofiieer Russell was one of great danger ano that his death would naturally be ex peeted from the wounds he received. The ball entered the right side be- tween the eighth and ninth ribs, so- iug into the bady about on ievei and passing into or through the spin al column and penetrating one orI both the kidneys. The effect of thlsI wound was to at once cause paraiy- sis of the body below where the spi- nal chord was struck by the bullet.
 The shooting of ofhcer Russell. as told in the following stories of the affair has aroused widespread indig-J nation among many of the prominent citizens of Douglas, who are free toi make bold the statement that some thing more vigorous in the way of promot ng law obeyance in this city is due. This shooting has done an other thing, and that is to make a great many votes and great deal of sentiment in favor of prohibition which will close every saloon ID Douglas. Without agreeing with thes propos. .tion now We believe that we know the sentiment of Douglas well enough to safely predict that if they find they cannot have the saloons regulated and brought to an obey ance of the ordinance, every saloon will be closed whenever an opportu- nity is offered.
 The affair ocrurred early this nor ming, about o'clock. in the alley be. tween and G avenues, in the rear of Williams saloon, the Grove. Russell was shot between the| eighth and ninth ribs, just above theI abdomen Williams was shot through the shoulder The bail went clear through him, so that as he walked around after the encounter, blood ran out of both s.des of him. front and back
 Russell was found lying on his back in the alley, beside the auto, in which was still seated Edna Clark, with whom Williams had been seated when the latest racket which resulted in the shooting began.
 District Attorney Williams of Tomb stone, who came down yesterday on business in the Justice court, and J. N. McFate, both of whom were awake and talking in the lobby of the Hotel Gadsden, were the first to reach the scene, and help the wounded officer, who was removed to the Calumet Hospital. Russell said he was very s.ck to his stomach, and believed he had been shot in the abdomen. On examina- tion at the hospital, it was found that the ball had struck the spine
 Soon after being taken to the hos pital, where, upon his repeated re quest, he was told that he d.d not stand very good show of recovery, he made this dying statement, which, in case of his death, will become his legal testimony:
 About twenty minutes or half an hour before the shooting I
 had ordered a party of girls from
 Sixth street to leave the alley,
 as they had no business in that
 part of town. I had no trouble
 with the girls and they, in com
 pany with Sam Imsland and one
 or two other men, drove away.
 While I was ordering the party
 away from the alley, Williams ap-
 peared at the back door of his
 place, leading into the alley, and
 applied a number of v-le names
 to me I paid no attention to him
 or his abuse.
 Some little time later I notic-
 ed another automobile in the al
 ley and went there :n the line of
 my duty. When I ordered the
 first party away from the alley,
 Williams, after abusing me, said
 he would fix me. There was no
 old grudge. but he had it in for
 me a long time. I don't know
 what about. When I went up to
 the auto the second time, Will
 rams said to the girl: Don't pay
 any attention to that p-, s-b'
 I did not make any attempt to
 arrest him, but simply told him
 to go on about h,s business"
 Apparently the fullest and most re liable story of the occurrence, or oi the events and incidents which led up to the shooting, is told by Haze Hessing, of Sixth street, who is one of the girls concerned, but whose story seems quite tmpart al. She says:
 About an hour before the
 shooting, we, three girls, Pauline
 Wells. Midget and myself, sent
 for 'Stumpy' to bring his auto
 mobile around. We got .n and
 ordered him tc take us to the
 rear of Williams saloon. We
 drove up the alley and the ma
 chine was stopped by the little
 gate in the alley. We ordered
 drinks. which were brought out
 from the bar and handed to us
 in the machine Dave Hawk,
 sam Imsland and Wallace Fra
