THE JARBIDGE SHOOTING

The following dispatch from
Twin Falls, Idaho, to the Roiss
Statesman gives the particulars
of the shooting scrape at Jarbidge,
which we mentioned yesterday:
w. H. Corners was brought to
Twin Falls from Jarbidge toGay
suffering from gunshot wounds in
the back and face which were
inflicted by Jack Flynn, miner.
That Corners sight is not
destroyed is miraculous. He
received full charge Of No. 6
shot in the face at quite close
range, bur it scattered in such a
way as to miss both his eyes.
He was placed in the Twin Falls
hospital upon his arrival here, and
physicians have removed. the
6 reater portion Of the shot.
Those who are familiar with
the case state that there had been
bad blood between Corners and
Flynn for some time. Flynn
rec emily stated that the camp was
not large enough to hold them
both.
On Friday afternoon Corners
was returning from the hills,
when Flynn stepped out of a
doorway ard shot him in the back.
Corners ran into his tent, which
was near by. and pulled his gun.
Several shots passed between them.
Corners was finally shot in the
face, which temporarily blinded
him and stopped the LATHE, wLilt
Flynn came out Of the conflict
unframed.
Both men were arrested ard the
preliminary hearing set for June | .

ST. THOMAS NEXT
