BADLY BEATEN

Is now in the Rawlins Hospital suf-
fering from severe body bruises and
two fractures of the skull. 1t is
thought that he will recover Up to
Wednesday evening he had not been
able to give a really coherent story
of what actually happened.
On Monday evening several of the
j. G.. White electricians worked ov-
ertime to complete a particular job
and 1t was generally understood that
when they had finished they were to
go to the cook house and have sup
per. Williams having been previously
ordered to put supper on the table
so that they would be able to get
1t when they arrived. Near eleven
o'clock about thirteen of the men
went to the cook house and found
nothing to eat so they aroused Will
liams and requested him to prepare
supper. Williams got up and went
to the Mess Hall where an argument
followed but finally he consented to
get supper for them. Returning to
the kitchen he procured a As Colts
Automatic and started towards the
men and another argument ensued.
Finally Williams. it is alleged, poked
the muzzle of the u into the stom-
ach of one of the men and snapped
the trigger twice. the gun failing to
fire both times. One of the men then
hit Williams over the wrist with a
the fight was IN. During the bat
tie, which lasted but a short time,

Williams was horribly beaten and
kicked about, suffering several bad
body bruises and two fractures of
the skull.
Williams claims that he did not
pull the trigger of the gun and that
he held it only in self defense when
the men rushed at him. He also says
that there was plenty to eat in the
Mess Hall and that he told the men
to help themselves but they assaulted
him and he then pulled the gun to
protect himself.
There have been several stories
ont as to how this all happened but
so far none of them seem to agree
in the most important details. Ac-
cording to one of the men the gun
was fired once after the fight by
the men themselves to see if il was
loaded and If this is the case II
would have been almost impossible
for Williams to have pulled the tr'g-
ger twice previous to that time with
ont the gun firing in that it was an
Automatic. Neither Williams story
or the mems agree in any detail.
All the men who were in the fight
are either still working or have left,
n number of them having been layed
off when j. G. White ceased opera
tons in Parco Tuesday.

The ]. G. White Engineering Cor
poration layed off approximately 800
men Tuesday morning preparatory to
leaving Parco. All their contract
work at the refinery is completed and
they are now invoicing. previous to
turning over the equipment, etc, to

Monday night and Tuesday morning
practically the whole force was lay
ed off. There are at the present

details before moving out altogether.
Some forty or fifty of the men have
been employed by the P.and r. so

that with the coming of spring
things will pick up and there may be
considerable construction work car

ilterseting to watch and many good
laughs were had by all.
The last event of the evening was
