A party of excursionists from Portland
were put In peril yesterday at Martin's
Bluff by a freniied Italian, who fired
Into them as the steamer Capital City
waa leaving the dock and wounded John
Watts, a deckhand.. . Women! and; chil
dren were crowded on the bow of the
boat and It Is probable that some of the
passengers would - have " been shot had
he Italian had mora than one cartriase
la his revolver. .
Uenutv Sheriff Frank Beatty was a
passenger on the boat, and his prompt
action enabled him to land the guilty
man behind the bars of the; jail at Ka
lama. Wash., before the night waa
many hours old. ; Beatty was able to
identify .the man, who , gave the name
of John Morioca, and several citizens of
Kalama have also recognised htm as the
one wno arew tne revolver,
, The shooting was the outgrowth of
merrymaking by the departing ; excur
cionisis, wnicn was resented by a g;
of Italian laborers, Fifty or sixty I
lans are employed In railroad construc
tion near Martin's Bluff, and they had
gone to the boat landing to see the Port
land picnickers leave. At the landing
there was much "Jollying" and exchange
of repartee between those on shore and
those on the boat. Some one on- the
boat playfully threw an onion among the
Italians.
This was the signal for an ans-rv
outcry and one of the men whipped out
a 8 2 -caliber revolver, which ne - fired
into the boat. The result was a panto
and scurrying for cover by the passen
gers. It was Hot known for some time
that any one was hit, when it was
learned that a deckhand had been shot
through the musclee of the left arm.
Deputy Sheriff Beatty suggested turn
ing back at once, but the captain of the
boat thought it best to proceed without
exposing the boat to a possible fusil
lade from - the shore. , Accordingly
Beatty was taken to St Helens and
landed,- where he secured the aid of
Sheriff White of Columbia county. They
proceeded In Dr. ' Cliffs glass motor
boat to Kalama, where they picked up
Sheriff Kirby and a deputy, driving
thence to Martin's Bluff. The officers
arrived at 7:30 and at once began a
search for the man who fired the shot.
After much difficulty he waa located
and Identified. He was then taken to
the Kalama jail. ,
A message from Kalama this after
noon announced that Monoca will ue
prosecuted to the extest of the law.'
