1 urn OF DIM
A! James and a character known
to a large part of the town as Dago
Jo were taken to jail at an early hour
this morning as the result of an en
counter between the two and the lat
ter Is peculiarly fortunate that he was
not landed in the morgue instead.
The two had an altercation on the
street which was followed by a des
perately direct attempt upon his life
by James with a revolver. Three
shots were fired point blank and At
close range by James Mid that they
went wild is considered a miracle in
Jo's behalf. The real reason of the
poor shooting whs that James was
blinded by blood which flowed down
his face from wounds inflicted by
Dago. The shooting took place in
the Horseshoe saloon at a little past
midnight. The men had met earlier
in the evening and drank together at
the bar where they became engaged
in a dispute. James went out and
was followed by Jo who had a bot
tle of brandy with which he attacked
James.
A. B. Wilson, bartender, hearing th
scuffle went out and interferred, drag
ing Jo back into the saloon, lie im
mediately ran out in pursuit how
ever and overtaking James near
Thibedeau's barber shop engaged him
again using the bottle with fearful
effect, cutting James' head open.
I He then returned to the Horseshoe
[saloon, his hands covered with blood,
thore washed up. Presently
James entered, his face
and clothes streaming with blood and
presenting a ghastly appearance. Jo.
seeing him enter, immediately started
for the back door but stopped be
hind the screen which stands before
it. James, without speaking, walk
ed to within a few feet of him and.
drawing a revolver, fired. The ball
struck the brandy bottle he held,
shattering it and spilling the liquor
over the floor. Jo ran around the
screen and a second shot shattered
the glass in it and glanced Into the
wall. A third ball followed the flee
ing figure toward the front door and
cut a clean hole through the window.
But it also went wild, Jo continued
his flight and James did not follow
but immediately went to his home.
Mr. Wilson who had done what he
could to prevent the encounter noti
fied Night Officer Carson who sub
sequently arrested both men and
lodged them in jail. Jo was releas
ed today on $25 bail.
James is a brother of Mr. James
of the old firm of Kohler & James
of Juneau and is himself well known
us an old resident of Skagway and
has borne a good reputation. Jo is
as equally well known, being a fish
erman and long shoreman. |
! .ludge.T. R. Winn, who came up to
Skagwav on business before the court
here, today received a wlro advising him
that the circuit court of appeals at Sao
Francisco had sustained Judge Wicker
sham in his judgement In the case of
C. II. Pierce vr W. J. Sutherland and
the Perseverance Mining company.
The plaintiff claimed a half Interest in
the property valued at several million
dollars, by virtue of an early agree
ment. The trial court decided the
claim to be not valid. Judge Winn is
counsci for Sutherland and the Perse
verance, and Israel and Hellenthal for
