Show WOUNDED MAN 1Y BE OGDEN HDLOUP Harry Davis Seeks Aid of Surgeons at City's Emergency Emer-gency Hospital. A man giving the name of Harry Davis, Da-vis, and who said that he wTas 30 years of age, sought medical assistance at the emergency hospital yesterday for a wound on his left side, which he said was due to having been struck by a policeman, po-liceman, but which the police declared was caused probably a few weeks ago, and it is suspected that he is one of the men who, on October 30, was wounded in a fight when he and a companion attempted at-tempted to hold up a street car in Ogden. Og-den. Charles Wood, conductor on the car when two men held him up at the end of the Washington avenue line at Thirty-Sixth street, Ogden, arrived in the city last evening and saw Davis. Wood said that he was unable to identify Davis positively as one of the two bandits, ban-dits, but he believed that he was the man. The cat was held up by two men. Conductor Con-ductor Wood was shot by one of them. The conductor returned the fire and fatally shot a man giving the name of George McCulIen, who died a few hours after the shooting. The conductor also shot McCuIlen's companion, but he escaped, es-caped, leaving a trail of blood. Mr. Wood said last night that the second sec-ond man he shot, who might prove to 1 be Davis, was hit while he was jumping j from the car. An examination of Da- I vis by Dr. T. J. Howells yesterday proved that the course that the bullet apparentlv took coincided with the range gained by Wood in making the shot. The doctor said the wound was : unquestionably one caused by a bullet. I Davis will undergo further examination at the doctor's hands tomorrow, while' Wood will return to see the man after he has been shaved of a beard of about a week 's growth. Wood said that Davis's eyes and his complexion, also his height, greatly resembled re-sembled the man that he shot. Davis stoutly held to his story that he had been struck by a policeman who wielded a club upon him about three or four days ago. He was unable to account, however, for the fact that there was a hole in his back which the bullet evidently made. He said that he worked in Burley. Idaho, until August and then came to Salt Lake. For the lat five da vs. he said, he had been living at Garfield. When told that his storv appeared crjntradictorv. in that he said a no'iee-mnn no'iee-mnn struck him a few davs ao avd then said that he had been in Garfield the last few days, Davis said that the al- Ieged attack by the policeman may have occurre'd" about ten days ago. He denied that he had been in Ogden. Wood is still weak as a result of being be-ing shot in the breast by one of the thugs. He, however resumed work about a week a. |
