in the early dawn he was shot
down.
DR.. G. A. Knox. a surgeon Of
Yerineton. who ACCOMPANIED Hail
man to Reno, and W. C. Van EN-
mon, special sgsnt Of the Indian
service under C. n. Asbury of
Reno. related between them the
story Of the affair.
According to the statement, Hail
man sometime ago treated Ben
nett's granddaughter for ptomsine
poisoning and prescribed a rigid
diet. Bennett resented the order
and desired the medicine man OIL
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 oil and
a 5000 rifle. Arriving at the
house about 5 o'clock. he threw
oil at front and rear entrances and
applied a match. When the fire
blazed up Mailman ran out and the
Indisn, 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 a screen door and
fell to the floor. Mailman ran
around to the side of the house but
was unable to open the door and
fell to the ground. Mrs. Hailman
and her brother John Keough, chief
clerk of the reservation, came
from the house and carried Hail
man inside. The FIRE was extin-
guished.
The injured man was later at.
tended by DIR. Knox. Bennett took
to the hills and Indian police and
the sheriff's force of Mineral and
Lyon counties started on his trail.
Last night signal fires were lighted
by the Indian police to notify rom
psnions Of the pursuit. w. C. Van
E,nmen said last night the tribes
men lsympathized with Mailman
and would lend assistance in cap
turing Bennett. He said there had
been some frictinn but that it had
disappeared after news of the
shooting.
