Larkey Logan, a well-known Indian ,.f filistz was s!ot by M. L. (3!s in th Utter's saloon on the water front about 8 o'clock last Sunday evening. The bullet, a 33 caliber, entered Logan's right breast anil Inflcted a rather ser ious wound, frm which, however, it is believed he will recover. Mr. Glass gives Tin Lkadkb the following account of the affair. Loean. while in William Enos' tcA- taurant, told Miss Jennie Enos that he intended to make a grand openinz in Tony Jacobson with a knife. Mr. Ja. cobson, by the way is n partner of Mr. Glass. Later Jacobson entered the res tuartnt and was chased out by Logan with a knife. Jacobson went to the sa loon, passing through to the rear room. Logan soon appeared with a knife in hi hand and started for the rear room, tvideutly in search of Jacobson. Glass, who was behind the bar, ordered Logan out of the place. Logan backed toward the door, applied a choice epi thet to Mr. Glass, and just as he reaohed the door, which he had left open, threw hit right hand toward his hip pocket. Glass seized his trim and fired, limn taggered slightly but did not fall. He lett the place, but returned agalaUtf a few minutes, when he was arrested on warrant sworn out by Jacobson. Monday he was brought before Justice Ellsworth and placed under a 300 peace bond, which he furnished. Logan was intoxicated, and the ini tial cause of the trouble is said to have been Logan's interference in a game of billiards between Tony and Hans Ja cobson, to which the players very nat urally objected.
