Lying at the point Of death with
hardly a chance given him for re-
covery, Wendell S Phillips. son Of a
prominent Spokane family, is at st.
Anthonys hospital as a result Of a
shooting at the Palace rooming house
early yesterday morning, and Will
liam q. Whitley Marren, local
bartender, who is said to have done
the shooting, and Dee Matlock, well
known local man, are Deing held at
the county Jail Mauock was the
only other person present at the
shooting
The shooting is said to have been
done during a scuffle over a gun be-
tween Phillips and Marren. Phillips
was shot through the left groin. the
bullet severing a big artery and COM
ing out through the back of the leg.
The same bullet, presumably, grazed
the right leg of Marren, inflicting a
shallow wound.
The affair occurred about 1880 yes
terday morning in Marren's room at
the lodging house. The statements
Of the men agree that Marren and
Matlock were in the room drinking
from a bottle of whiskey which the
former had Just received from Cal
ifornia, when Phillips and Ben Rudd
entered the room.
1t seems that there has been bad
blood between Marren and Rudd for
some time and quarrel between
them very promptly ensued. Phil
lips statement is that he and Matlock
prevented them from fighting and
that Rudd then left the room.
Then. according to a statement
made by the wounded man to his
brother, mother, the doctor and
nurse, Marren. who had been drink
ing rather heavily. began quarreling
with him. and finally drew forth
gun, combination rifle and revolver
known as a ;:Game Getter" Phil
lips stated that he srappled with
Marren in an attempt to take the gun
away from him and that. during the
scuffle, it was discharged.
According to the story told by Mar
rem and Natlock. Phillips first Sc
cured the gun and struck the latter
over the head An abrasion on his
head indicates that he was struck at
some time or other.
