Up until late hour last night the marshals office had received no report concerning the success Of Deputies George Berg and Pete Nc.

Both of the in jured people are in St Josephs hospital. where they are resting as easily as could be expected under the circumstances The womans from the 20 calibre high power rifle used by Goyette penetrated her body near the base of the spine Creighton is more seriously injured but was able to talk yesterday. One of the bullets fired by Goyette hit him in the neck and ranged upward through his mouth and jaw. knock. ing out several teeth and shattering the jaw bone. The shooting took ! place in the presence of Martin Smith.
 Goyette and Creighton were min | ing partners who have been work | ing in quartz together at the head of | Little Eldorado creek for the past several years. Ordinarily speaking. | they have done well as the result of their operations, according to 1 those who claim to know. Both, | however, are of Quarrelsome na ! ture. and have never been able to get along amiCably. No cause for the trouble eliminating in the shoot 1 ing can be assigned, unless 1t was the inability of the two men to get along together.
 Mrs. Creighton was formerly known as Elza Peterson. She and Creighton were married only a few days ago.
 1 The story of Martin Smith, the only eye witness to the shooting of Goyette, is substantially as follows: "I was going over from Chatanika to Skoogey Gulch It was about S o'clock in the morning when reached the Goyette & Creighton workings on the summit near the Newsboy mine, and there I met Goyette He had 22 calibre high power rifle. We talked for a few moments about the work in general. I had been working for Goyette X Creighton and Louis told me that he was going to kill Dick, as things were being run the way he didn't like them
 q told Louis that he had better cut out that kind of talk and went on down toward Skoogey. When reached Creighton's cabin in Skoo gey he was just coming out. We talked for a while and he said he was going up to the Summit road house to get some bread, and l told him as I had nothing else to
 
 him. Before we left the house, how. ever, told him of Louis threat He simply said Oh he wouldn't shoot anybody
 We had got about 75 feet away from the cabin when we first saw Goyette. He stepped out from be-
 
 Dick to watch out and he jumped behind me. Goyette said to Dick: I'll settle with you right here He didn't call Dick any names.
 When Dick jumped behind me Goyette said: Step to one side, Smith for if you don't I'll kill you, too, and I don't want to do that did as ordered and Creighton started to run toward the cabin. Goyette commenced to shoot, and am satisfied that the fourth bullet neck, for it was then he fell down. He got up again and Goyette kept shooting, but Creighton reached the door and went into the cabin.
 Tn the meantime Creightons vie and another woman who was there, "Violet" something or other was her name don't remember. had come outdoors at the sound of the shooting. And after Creighton had jumped through the door, Goyette kept shooting at the women. It was then that he hit Mrs. Creighton.
