At 11 o'clock lust night Dick Pierce.
a half breed Indian, was shot through.
the body by J. O. Garrett, city mar
shal of Adams, while the former waa '
trying to escape from a hack In which
he was being brought 'to this place.
The attempt to escape and the shoot
ing occurred Just to the north of the
wagon bridge on the road Into town.
When shot Pierce fell, and after be
ing placed ln the hack was brought
to the sheriff's off'ce, where Deputy
Blukely was awaiting them. Dr.
Cole was then summoned and the In
jured man was taken to the hospital.
The bullet, which was from a 3S
callbre Smith & Wesson revolver, en
tered Pierce's back and lodged In the
abdomen.
The trouble which culminated la
the shooting of the half breed lost
night' begun yesterday afternoon in
Helix. At that lime Pierce, with two
other men, all of whom were partly
Intoxicated, raised a disturbance and
all but Pierce ' were arrested. Ths
latter, who hud drawn his gun on a
man during the trouble, rode out of
town arid escaped the marshal there.
Thinking that he would ride either
to this pluce or to Adams, the sher
iff's office here und Mnrshal Gurrett
ut Adams were 'phoned to be on the
lookout for Pierce, ln the evening
he was found In an Adams saloon by
the inarshul, and when the latter at
tempted to urrest him Pierce draw
his gun, a long frontier Colt's six -shooter,
from his belt and leveled R-'
at the marshal. However, he was Im- -mediately
grubbed by men from be- -,
hind, was disarmed and placed In the
jall there.
Owing to the poor Jail facilities at
Adams It was decided to bring the
prisoner here and place him In the
county Jail, and the officers here
were so notified. In the hack with
Pierce were two men beside Marshal
Garrett one, the driver, sat on the
front seat with the hulf breed, and the
other In the rear with the marshal.
Pierce was not handcuffed, and Just
before the bridge was reached he
Jumped from the rig and started to
run. He was several times ordered
to stop by the marshal, and on re
fusal to do so was fired at with the
effect mentioned.
In Critical Condition.
This morning Pierce's Wound was
dressed by Dr. Cole, assisted by Dr.
Rlngo, An Intestine was found to be
perforated, and consequently hla con
dition Is considered critical, with
strong chances of resulting fatajly.

character for quite a while accord

of getting drunk and seeking quarrels

yesterday Is a vicious looking weapon
