CATTLEMAN SHOT
IN DUEL AT BRAY
OVER RANGE LAND
Old Western Scenes Re
enacted When Stockman
Goes Gunning for Sheep
man Who Fenced Pasture
YREKA. Cal.. Sept. 4 (AP) A page
out of the old west, when cattlemen
and sheep men battled with guns
over range land, had been enacted
here today, and aa a result, a cattle
man was dead and a sheep raiser In
Jail.
IVie perennial dispute between
raisers of sheep and cattle had cul
minated In the shooting of Fred Mc
Manus, 60, stockman, by Tom Plour
noy, 60, sheepman.
The argument started over a fence
between adjoining ranges In the wild
country near Peekanta, In Tehama
county, when Plournoy erected a
barrier to keep McManus' cattle off
his sheep range.
Meet With Iliries
It came to a head Wednesday when
the two met, both with rifles, In the
little town of Bray. .
McManus was In the town's only
store, witnesses said, when Plournoy
approached, rifle in hand, and told
the proprietor he wanted to see Mc
Manus. The stockman came outside
the door, carrying his rifle, and wit
nesses said Flournoy opened fire
without words.
Slayer Surrenders
McManus went down immediately,
fatally wounded In the chest. Plour
noy handed his gun to a bystander,
and surrendered to the constable. A
coroner's Inquest absolved him of
blame, stating lte verdict the shoot
ing was In self-defense, but author
Hies were holding him In Jail pend
ing further Investigation.
"I simply beat htm to it," Plournoy
declared. Witnesses said McManus
was "gunning" for the sheepman.

NEW YORK, Sept. 4. (AP) The
stock mr.rket was left rather groggy
today, alter yesterday's spill, and as
traders were disinclined to extend
committments in advance of the
three-day week end closing, the mar
ket ended the, week in an uncertain
frame of mind.
Prominent stocks generally met
support, and the market developed a
falr.y steady tone after a temporary
sag in the morning. The turnover
narrowly exceeded a million shares.
