JACK WLEOD Is SHOT AT
 LITUYA BY J. CAMPBELL

DOUGLAS, Jan 81.-As the result of a dispute over a claim at Lituya Bay on December 2Sth, Jack Mcleod is in Douglas under the doctors care suffering from a saushor wo,nd in the hand.
 According to the story of the shoot ing told by Lou Nirle,, who was a witness, Mcleod was banning on a piece of ground which was claimed by Jack Campbell, but which was re- located by another party, when Camp bell appeared with a gun and asked them if they practiced the Golden Rule. They didn't understand what he meant at first but answered him pleasantly. Campbell then told them he'd give them two minutes to get off the claim. Miller answered that it would be impossible for them to leave within that time. Campbell fired a moment later and the bullet struck the rock on which Mcleod was kneei- ing, making a slight wound in the lower leg and passing through the right hand, tearing an ugly hole which since that time has refused to heal.
 As it was impossible to ge away from Lituya earlier, Mir. Mcleod, ac- companied by his wife and Lou Mil Ter, left there on the fish boat PiOn- eer on Jan 2S, % days after the shooting occurred.
 Up to the present time no report of the shooting has been made to the federal authorities, there being no deputy marshal or commissioner in that district.-Empire.
