INDIAN SHOOTS PHYSICIAN

A story Of Indian revenge was
told last night when Superintendent
II. V. Hail an, also doctor for the
Walker River Indian reservation
at Schurz, was brought to Reno
with a bullet through shoulder and
lungs, fired by Jim Bennett, full
blooded Piute. Hailman's wound is
pronounced not necessarily fatal.
Bennett escaped on a horse. says
the Reno Journal.
Before opening fire on Hailman
with a rifle the Indian, it is said,
applied oil to Hailman's house and
fired it. When Huffman emerged
in the carly dawn he was shot
down.
DR.. G. A. Knox, a surgeon of
Yerington, who ACCOMPANIED Hail
man to Reno, and W. c. Van En-
mon, special agsnt of the Indian
service under C. H. Asnury of
Reno, related between them the
story Of the affair.
According to the statement, Hail
man sometime ago treated Ben
nett's granddaughter for ptomaine
poisoning ana prescribed a rigid
diet. Bennett resented the order
and desired the "medicine mar OF
the tribe to treat the patient.
Yesterday morning, it is said,
Bennett left his place, about a mile
from the Mailman house and rode
away with a gallon can of OF, and
a 5000 rifle. Arriving at the
house about 8 o'clock, he threw
oil at front and rear entrances and
applied a match. When the fire
blazed up Mailman ran out and the
Indian, who had retreated TO his
horse, tethered nearby, began
shooting with the rifle. One bullet
entered Hailman's right shoulder
from behind and emerging in front
passed through O screen door and
fell tn the floor. Mailman ran
around to the sid of the house but
was unable to open the door and
fell to the ground. Mrs. Mailman
and her brother John Keough, chief
clerk of the reservation, came
from the house and carried Hail.
man inside. The FIRE was extin-
guishcd.
The injured man was later at
tended by DR.. Knox. Bennett took
to the hills and Indian police anc
the sheriif's force Of Mineral ant
Lyon counties started on his trail
Last night signal fires were Lighted
by the Indian police to notify com
psnions Of the pursuit. w. C. Var
E'nmon said last night the tribes
men sympathized with Hailmar
and would lsnd assistance in cap
turing Bennett. He said there haC
been some friction but that it hat
disappeared after news of tn.
shooting.

finally reached the goal and were
taken into the mine and shown the
ore as nature put it in the hill.
After seeing the mine and getting
samples of the ore the visitors
went down the hill and went about
| 700 feet in the Elk tunnel and saw
miners loading ore from the Peter
