Shooting ARRAY In North Park.

AS the result of a neighborhood
row between ranchers living in the
upper North Park country, a man
by the name of Harry Bridges is
in a very serious condition as the
result of a gun shot wound, the
shot having been fired by William
Coburn.
There we're some reports here
abouts last week to the effect that
a gun fight of some sort had taken
place in the Park, but no details
were available. However, the cur
rent issue of the Jackson county
Star, published at Walden, states
that the shooting was the outcome
of a quarrel over the possession of
a wagon, Bridges claimed the
wagon and started off with it, ac-
cording to the Star, and after fir
ing several shots at him with a
pistol, Coburn went to the house
after a rifle, a 1885 Winchester,
the first shot from which struck
Bridges in the back, just under
the right shoulder blade, ranging
down through his body and lodg-
ing in the left side. While the
injured man is in a very serious
condition, it is said he has a very
good chance for recovery. Coburn
was Immediately arrested and is
held in the Walden Jail to await
his preliminary hearing, which
will take place on May l6.
