Show A Fight At Bayhorse. U. S. Attorney Hawley returned last evening Irom Bayhorse and Challis. He says that at Bayhorse, on Monday evening last, between the hours of 10 and 11, Johnny Burns shot and killed Bob Stratham. As near as rumor had the trouble summed up, on Sunday night Johnny and Bob were playing poker in a saloon j when an argument arose about an ante. Bob told Burns he was a son of a brute and Johnny went out, heeled himself him-self and came back ; slapped Bob in the face, and that was the last of it that night, but at the hour named, Monday, Bob walked in on Johnny armed with a revolver. Burns said he was not armed, but nevertheless Bob took two shots at Burns as he skipped out of the back door. It appears that Burns ran to go into the next saloon, where he procured a pistol and walked out in front on the street, there to find Bob ready for him. Then the shooting commenced, three or four shots being fired, when Bob disappeared, disap-peared, running up a narrow stairway between be-tween two houses and falling dead at the top shot through the heart. Johnny Burns used to live in Hailey in early days, and in Salt Lake, and is well known among Wood River sporting men. Johnny will have to stand an examination, examina-tion, but the opinion prevails that he will not be bound over to appear before the grand jury. Inter-Idaho, 1st. |
