Free-for.AII Fight Precedes Attack on
BtieMnp.
Henry Buesing, aged 25, e rancher,
was shot with a heavy charge from a
taotgun, Jack ?:r.ith, "Happy" Boitcn,
machinist, and Howard Bateg, a!'. La
Grande people, were more or less bad
ly cut and bruised as the direct and In
direct consequences of a 'free-for-all
fight between Italian and some of the
white men mentioned yesterday eve
alng. Buesing, the most seriously
hurt, was an Innocent sufTerer, the po
lice believing he waB chot by mistake,
the would-be assassin thinking him m
be one of the party participating In
the free-for-all, near-riot fight Just a
little while previous. The shooting
of Buesing occurred on Jefferson
street near Fourth while he was ap
proaching the business part ofthe
city, the assassin firing across the
treet from a pile of barrels near the
quarter of the O.-W. section gang. But
tor the fact that the distance was so
great, Buesing would have been mur
dered Instantly, the scattering of the
hot alone saving him.
The young man is well known here,
living on a ranch with his brother
. Charles and brother-in-law, Ed. My
rs, and has a large circle of friends
who will be keenly interested in the
developments of his case.
Police on Scene Early.
A squad of tbree policemen u Just
leaving the scene of the shooting.
They were called there by disturbanc
es at the section gang and Italian
quarters but found everything quiet,
though they searched several foreign
ers in that vicinity. They were on
their way back to town when the shot
was fired and they hurried back to
find Buesing prone on the sidewalk
bleeding bpdly. He was hurried o
the hospital and a search for the as
sassin commenced. A shot gun was
found in the quarters of some Italian
but it had not been fired recently. The
gun and shells were confiscated and
search instituted for the weapon used
in the Bhootlng of Buesing. It wis
daylight before the actual weapon was
found, however, lying near the pile of
barrels from where the load of lead
was shot. This weapon, too, is in po
lice headquarters.
Chief of Police McLachlln was cal
led to direct the search and one sus
pect was arreBted, but he Is not
thought to be the one who shot Bev
Ing but perhaps a participant in the
general fight The theory exists thai
the foreigner who did the shoot-n?
hurt gone to his shack to arm hlnifelf
and cn emerging from his qna-er3
saw Buesing and fired at him with ob
vious intent to kill, thinking him or.e
of the participants In the prevlom
feht.
Buesing is resting easily today. The
only serious complication that m ght
result would be blood poisoning, ami
this cannot be finally said to luve
been avoided for several days to come.
The main charge seems to have struck
him in the fleshy part of the leg, som
scattering down to the calf of his leg
and other shots eriking his hand. The
phot used were exceptionally 'arse,
probably No. 4 shot. Scattering shot
penetrated an inch board In a ahacV
occupied by a negro near the sidewalk
on which Buesing was walking.
. The other men are not seriously
hurt, it is believed. Bolton wears bon
dages on his head today and Smltii Is
said to be badly out though nothlnx
of a critical nature exists.
