Larkey Logan? Shot.
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.
