Man SHOT IN
FIGHT OVER
A GIRL

Ed Furrey of Seattle is in Fan
ME Paddock hospital with one
hand shattered by a bullet from
a revolver, and F. w. Campbell,
a travelling man of San Francis
co, and Estelle Brown, pretty
theater cashier of Seattle, are in
Jail.
The girl says Furrey- is her Ne
mesis. She was a good girl until
she met him. "He dragged me
down." she declares. Anyway,
she came with him from Seattle
and was living with him at the
Olympus hotel.
But she wanted to get away,
she says. She met Campbell,
whom she knew, and appealed to
him in the Olympus Inn to save
her from Furrey. Campbell took
her to his rooms while he went
for a taxicab to take her to the
depot and send her to her par
ents at San Diego.
Furrey came in and found the
pair, and raised a row. In the
melee Campbell shot him through
the hand.
Campbell insists he shot Furrey
in self defense. He is apparently
decent sort of travelling man
and was trying to help the girl.
Furrey is said by the police to be
a bad actor.
He was brought down from the
hospital this afternoon, and all of
the trio in the mixup will be in
police court to settle the fuss be-

sage yesterday, the senate settled
down to real work. Five bills
were introduced, the first of
these being Senator Landon S

tempt law. 1t will be known as

That Senator Landon is not
alone in the fight for the princi-
pie declaring judges no more i'm

than any other public official is
indicated by the willingness of

cooperate with him from the very
