Unfortunate Affair.

! About $3.50 O'Clock Sunday af-
ternoon John Scott, a resident of
this city, was shot and probably
fatally wounded in the home Of
]. L. Service. The facts as
brought out in the preliminary
hearing given before Judge Samp-
son Monday morning were to the
effect that Mr.. Service, who is a
conductor on the Santa Fe, re-
turning to his home that after
noon found Scott in his home.
The revolver he had on his per-
son was the one he carried while
on duty as a conductor, and as
he entered the house he and his
wife had a short struggle for
possession of the gun which was
accidentally discharged, the bull
let entering the left side of Scott
and lodging against the spine.
Medical assistance was immedi-
ately summoned, but the bullet
could not be located. Monday he
was removed to the hospital at
Albuquerque for an operation.
At the conclusion OF the hearing
Mr.. Service was discharged from
any liability for the shooting,
which met with universal ap-
proval of the people. Mr.. Ser
vice is one of the popular rail-
road men of the town, whose
quiet demeanor and affabiity has
won him hosts of friends, who
regret the unfortunate affair.
