In Shooting

Henry Miller, resident of the
Russian colony of Tacoma, who
was shot yesterday afternoon dur
ing brawl with Fred Thaut,
bridegroom of 16 hours, was re-
ported today as being in a dan
gerous condition.
Three bullets entered his

believed he cannot recover.
Thaut is held at the city jail.
Charges will not be made against
him until the outcome of Miller's
injuries is known.
The brawl occurred in Thaut's
home, 2104 Alaska street. Miller,
in company with George Camp
bell, entered Thaut's home in an
intoxicated condition, and abused
Thaut for having accused him of
stealing liquor that had been
purchased for the wedding sup
per of Thaut and his bride.
During the fight Thaut was cut
badly with knife. He seized a
revolver, and opened fire on
Miller.
