He may be down that way again

ask him to go to Ekalaka. I am
disappointed that he didnot make
it the last time as we had ex-
pected. The rest of his work
took more time than he had plan
ned for the trip and so he had to
get back without going. l will
try totgeti word to you before he

there that morning. The parti.

young men that have been work.
ting in that section for some time
past. From particulars given
us it seems that Long started to
squat on = piece of unsurveyed
land on the creek and had COM
menced fencing the same when
he was told by Acres and other
parties that he was not wanted
there and that he had better
move or there would be trouble.
This warning was suppose to
have been given him on Monday.
Tuesday morning Acres rode
over on horseback and found
Long still digging post holes and
wanted to know if he (Long)
was not told that he was not
wanted to be seen there at that
time. Long is said to have then
suggested going to town and SET
tleing the trouble by law when
Acres drew a gun and told him
that he would move right then
and there. When he reached for
his gun, his horse jumped and in
the meantime Long, who had a
sho: gun with him, picked it up
and fired, the load striking Acres
in the jaw. Long went to his
house, where his sister and bro
ther- in law were living and told
the news and then came to town
and gave himself up to the auth
critics. Acres was taken to
Camp Crook to the hospital where
he is reported getting along in
fair shape and expects to be out
in a few days. Long is out on
$1,000 bonds to appear before
Judge Martin, Monday morning
for a preliminary hearing, when
more particulars will be found
out.
