FATAL SHOOTING. Particulars of the Recent Murder at Pocatello. A special despatch to the Ogden Standard on Sunday morning gave the following particulars of the murder at Pocatello on Saturday. A shooting affray has taken place here which resulted in the killing of a brake- man named Lew Durfey and severly wounding a butcher named Buck Wright. It transpires that during the afternoon an ex-fireman named Porter who was intoxicated was making himself obnoxious in the Pacific hotel by attacking the proprietor. Nielson, the constable, attemnted to arrest Porter but some of his friends iaterfered. Nielson called on Wright for assistance, and Wright drew a revolver but was disarmed and thrown out of the window. Wright then went across the street to Bean’s drug store, and procured another pistol. Durfey entered the store, and some harsh words were exchanged; whereupon Wright drew his pistol and shot and killed Durfey. Wright then gave himself up to the authorities, but fearing lynching, he tried to escape, but was shot at and wounded inthe neck and back. The sheriff and a posse from Blackfoot arrived and took Wright to Blackfoot by special train. The friends of Durfey are very indignant. : The constable, Nielsen, who has but one leg, was lately elected in spite of the railroad men. The _ latter have had bit- ter feelings against him ever since and have declared that whenever opportunity offered they “would do him up.” If this is true, it explains how Porter should have felt encouraged to resist arrest and why the unfortunate Durfey should have been so ready totake up his quarrel. chance, because both of their candidates’ cutting off the flow already obtained.
