Woodward Shot In Foot At Hanover Gulch on Monday a shooting affair occurred. Harry McAllister and family were living in a $20 house on a copper mining claim leased to the Flagler outfit by Dr. E. L. Stephens. It is said that the tenant was there by order of the lessee of the claim, but the house belonged to James Woodward and is not claimed by the owner of the ground. Wood- ward was there last week and says that Mc- Allister promised to move. lieturning on Mon- day, the tenants were still in possession. Wood- ward and R. J. Curry went on top of the shanty and began tearing it down, against the protest of Mrs. McAllister. Pretty soon a rifle ball from an unseen source whistled past them. Curry descended and Woodward stooped. McAllister then appeared, saying Mr. Brown, of the Flag- ler, had ordered him to hold the house with his life, so says Curry. McAllister fired a second shot which struck Woodward in the foot, and made a painful wound. McAllister has been arrested. Dr. Stephens thinks Woodward’s foot may have to be amputated.
