PROSECUTORS W PROBE DUEL District Attorney's Office In vestigating Fight at Jack sonville in Which James Mankin Was Killed by Wal worths. 'fipoll Plipstcb to Tb Joornal.) Jacksonville, Or., Jan. 8. Investiga tion of the shooting affray at the Man- kin ranch Here last Saturday, in which James Mankin was killed and C. H. and N. W. Waisworth were injured, has been carried on here by the district attor ney's office. Detailed account of the affair as learned by the prosecutor shows that the Mankin family bought the old Bleechor ranch, on which ranch is sit uated a cabin owned by one Shepherd. In this cabin lived Charley Walsworth, his wife and their 20-year-old on. Henry Mankin came to Jacksonville, December 28, and got a notice requir ing the Walsworths to ouit the cabin within 10 days. The Walsworths for a few montns past had been cutting wood and Haul ing it to town and selling It for the Manklns. The reason the Munkins wanted to get rid of the Walsworths was because there had been some friction between the two families over tha amount of money due the Manklns on account of the sale of the wood, the Manklns claiming that the Walsworths were "high grading" on them. Henry Mankin, armed with the notice to ault, asked Uert Illlngworth to ac- eomDanv him as a witness. They found Walsworth, his son ana ioya uyer in the Walsworth stable. Henry presented his notice to the elder Walsworth. and it was refused 1th heat. Henry, however, proved to, be handy with his organs of speech.l and Walsworth provided himself wlti nttr-hfork. Henrv retreated a lew steps and got a club about the size of bat. At this juncture James man kin was seen coming about 100 yards away with a long club, whereupon wais- worth dropped his for ana ran towara his house, saying: dots for Oan. If they prefer guns I'll try to ac commodate them." Both Henry and Bert shouted that James had ,no gun, but Walsworth ran to the house, fol lowed bv his son. W. Carroll Mankin came running with an absolutely new 30-40 Marlln, and Belle Mankin, their young sister, brought a 12-gauge pump gun. James took the shotgun and Henry took the Marlln. The Walsworths had two Win chesters, a 3-40 and a 38. Carroll and James retired behind a tree, and Henry, Bert and James took refuge behind a wagon, 30 yards' distant from the door of the Walsworth cabin. Walsworth senior fired the first shot. It In claimed, which did no execution. Walsworth senior fired again, the ball naaalnir through the nrim -or Men s nut. Bert retired. Within 10 minutes of the time when the shot was fired Bert was exhibiting the hat in Jacksonville. James fired with the shotgun, most of the load taking effect in Walsworth's arm, a good many of the shot also striking his face. Henry then shot with his Marlln and hit Walsworth near the left eye, the ball scraping around th head and comlncr out behind the left ear. Walsworth fell over on his I face and was later found in a pool of blood by Mr. Grant. Exchange Shots. From the opposite corner of the house Walsworth Junior and James exchanged shots at the same instant. Walsworth Junior receiver a load of BB's in his face and arm and hand, and the ball from Walsworth's Kun struck James about In the center of his body, coming out about four inches from his spine. hetween the eleventh and tweirtn riD. WAlmvorth lunior then retired into the bush, aa in the meantime had done all the spectators, leaving on me ncne only Charley Walsworth and James Mankin. The Manklns then sent In ror the herlfP and Mr. Grant went out and brouarht in Charles Walsworth. A lit tle later the younger Walsworth volun tarily came to Jacksonville and was locked up. Ball Cannot Be round. The ball that killed James Mankin could not be found. The autopsy v performed by Drs. Robinson and Hes ter. They made full notes, but were un able to discover the else of the ball that had killed Mankin. The Jacket off a small shell ball was, however, found where it had been stopped by a rib, but no hole had been made through any bone. While the Manklns are said to be .aw-abidlng and peaceable, their Mar lln Is absolutely new and their part of the program went off with such expedi tion that it is believed they were ex pecting trouble.
