The most exciting affray that hn oc-

curred in Fort Worth ainoa the shooting

of Jim CourtwriRht threo years ago was

that which transpired at the Bank

ealoon curabliDK house on Main street

n severe thouch not daneeroui wound in

his left hip and had several finders of

his left hand torn and Charlie Wrijjh

had his right wrist shattered

Short and Wright aro men of despor

iite nerve Trouble had beon brewing

between them for borne time and the

gambling fraternity of the oity had an-

ticipated a meeting between them for

same It was expected though that

when they did rome together there

would be a case for the undertaker

The shooting was done at close quar-

ters and it U miraculous that no one

was killed

Louis do Mouohe enjoys the proud dis-

tinction of being the only person out of a

largo croud who had the nerve to stand

bv to see the shooting nnd Louis can

only lav it to his proverbial good

luek that ho was not laid out as the re

Btut of his temerity Ilo told the story

to a reporter as follows Ilia saloon is

near by whero the shooting ocourred

I heard a big noNo out on the street

nnd ran out to see what was the matter

Fvoryboily was running down stnirs

from the gambling place I nsked what

was tho matter and tlioy told me that

Luko Short wns up thero nnd

there was going to bo some shoot-

ing 1 verybody was down stairs

nt that time and I rnn in At the head

of the stairs I met Luke with his revol-

ver In his hand 1 put my arm around

him and tried to pull him out

omo on away Luke I said or

you will get hurt

lie didnt tay anything but stood

still

At thnt instant 1 saw n door about

six feet away pulled open and a hand

thrust out with a rovolvor in it

1 jerked Luko around quick and the

revolver wont off Hut Luko was as

quick ns the stranger for he Tired about

tho same time That bullet entcrod the

wrist of tho stranger

Thats all the tihooting that was

done

Hut said the reportor Luke

was shot with buckshot from a suot

Bun

That cant bo said Louis for I

Were only two shots HrodZ

Matters Immediately Leading Up to the Dif-

ficulty

About 930 oclock last night whon

Charlie Wrights gambling house whloh

is located upstairs over the Bank saloon

nt 1003 JItiiri street was run-

ning at full blast Luko Short

arrived on tho sidewalk in front of the

saloon and ut the foot ofthe stairs lead-

ing to the gambliug room There were

u few men standing thero a lending

character beiug a person kuown as Col

Jlciiinley

W hen Miort nrnved a colored porter

who carries drinks from the taloon be-

low up to the gambling rooms came

don it stairs

What are thev doing up there

Short asked tlie negro

Hi sluiotiu a little craps Mista

Luke was tho reply

I oine along back there with me

said Miort and pushing the negro ahead

of him they went upstairs They en-

tered tlie gambling room where faro

oliucknluck poker and similar games

were under full headway Short kept

tho iulto in front of him and nourish-

ing his revolver cried

Msiti out of hero every ouo of

yonThe

The gamblers thereabouts knew Luke

Shorts history and woro not slow In

oheyinc the commnnd uttered so fiercely

nud backed by a dangerouslooking re-

volver In the twinkle of uu eye the

room was cleared of everybody

except Luke bhort Tho tables

uud chairs were upturned lamps

were broken nnd the Hour was strewn

with cards chips and other Instru-

ments of gaming

Luko Short stepped out in the hall

and had only proceeded a half dozen

steps wheti tho shooting took place The

lirst shot wns tired by the hand extended

from the door followed instantly by the

discharge of Shorts pistol and after a

short Intermission the shoutgun which

gave Short his wounds was discharged

crnshiug through a pane of glass and

lodging In the wainscoatiug on the op-

posite side of the hall

AFTEKWARUS

The Wounded Men Kejtntr to Seek Surgical

Aid The Wounds

When shot Luko Short went down-

stairs and up Main street half a blook to

the corner of Fifteenth where he was

met by friends who ascertaining the

nature of his wounds called Bill Iull

lams hack and the wounded man was

taken uptown where Dr Duringer at-

tended lo him

OfUcer Ben Bell hore secured Lukes

revolve It is an ivory handled silver

polished article with a blue barrel

Every chamber was loaded

The wound in Lukes hip was ascer-

tained to be serlom thouch not nt all

danirerous The full chnrge of buok

sbpt passed through the tiesh making a

tunnel Tbo muscles on the outside

were torn out

The thumb and third and fourth fingers

were torn badly The thumb was taken

MOKE OK IEIt

Tho City Attorney Think That a New Ordl

nauce Is Necessary

In view of the sensational affray of

last night there has been muoh discus

fingers were not so serious The hand

had rested on the hip and tho same shot

caused both wounds

Mrs Short a young woman of pleas-

ant appearance and quiet deportment

arrived at the surgeons office during

the process of dressing the wound and

helped to make tho ordeal more

bearable She wns compelled

to smile when Luke remarked

that he was not a very appropriate

Christmas present for his wife

Immediately after the shooting Deputy

Marshal lien Evans arrived on tho scene

and found Charlie Wright in the ball

lie put him under arrest nnd

took him to Dr Mullina office

to have bis wound dressed

The wound is in the wrut a ball having

grazed the bone without fracturing it se-

riously The flesh was torn badly

From the doctors office the prisoner was

taken to tho county jail

Tho scene of tbo shooting gave every

evidence ol a desperate fray In the

hall where Luke Short stood when shot

the floor bore large spots of blood scat-

tered around The wadding from a

shotgun was pioked up and tho wain

sooating was perforated where the buck-

shot lodged

The room whence the shooting was

done by the other party was used as a

storeroom by the saloon balow A bar-

rel of liquor was plaoed on a stand m

the center of the room with a faucet la it

ready for tho liquor to be drawn out

Around tho room were stacked other

barrels boxes and butties

A shotxun was found standing against

the barrel in the middle of the floor and

one barrel of it wns empty Lying on

the floor was found a revolver pre-

sumed to be Charlie Wrights with all

the chambers loaded

TIIEY TALK

Hut They Dont Say MncliWbo Did the

frhootlng

I dont want to say much about tho

shooting said Luke Short to a re-

porter aftor the wounded man had his

injuries dressed

When the shot went into my hip it

rather dazed me and 1 did not notice

much 1 do not know who did the

shooting

Did you fire when the hand pro-

truded through the open door

Somebody palled me around just in

time to see the gun go off I do not

kuow who held it or who did the shoot-

ing

Charlie Wright was found iu tho county

jail where he occupiod a room by him-

self All was dark whon the reporter

called and aftor the scribe had told who

he was and explained his mission the

prisoner said

I do not want to talk about the

affair 1 do not know who did the shoot-

ing

How did you get your wrist hurt

1 dont remember exactly You see

I was a little excited and am not able to

etate positively The doctor will tell

you about my wound

The reporter could get little informa-

tion from either of the wounded men as

tho n jove Interviews will show

One of Charlie Wrights attorneys wns

talked with and he stated that what-

ever hand his chuut had in

the matter was purely in self

defense An effort it appears

lias been made by some of the sporting

fraternity in the city to close up the

gnmblin houses in the lower end of the

city as they interfered with the busi-

ness of tho uptown houses Re-

cently Charlie Wright was in-

dicted on charge of swindling on

evidence furnished by an engineer

nnnied Colo When tho case came

before Judge Beckham a week ago it

was dismissed tho judge stating that

it was u more matter of gambling on

either side and t tiers could

be no swindling as the term

Is known in law in the matter

About a month uco Cliurilo Wright went

before Justice McCiung with an applica-

tion to have Luke Short put under peace

bond stating that he feared Short would

Interfere with his business Justice Mo

Clung decided the grounds Insufficient

and refused the application

SOMK HlSTOKY

Something About the Men Wounded In

Lmt Nights Affray

Luke Short is about thirtysix years

old and spent tho early part ot his life in

Cooke county whore his father owned a

ranch That was late In the sixtys and

marauding Indians frequently oame

to the settlements stealing pattle

nnd in some cases killing the settlers

Youn Short saw a good deal of frontier

life and when he grew older had to do

some Indian lighting himself He wns

in tho Northwest when the North-

ern Cheyeunes and Sioux took

the warpath and on one occa-

sion took important messages to

to the army operating against the In-

dians notifying them that word had been

received at Kosebud agency that the

Indians had arranged to ambush the

army He spent some time in Arizona

nnd lator was In Dodgo City Kan

whore stormy times were wit

nessed He has lived in Fort Worth

since lS l or 1SS3 In February 1887

he killed Jim Courtngbt in front of the

Whito Elephant saloon in this city He

was arrested but the gran d jury did not

indict him on the ground that the killing

was justifiable He is well known in

this city and neighborhood and is not

often mixed up in street brawls

Charlie Wright is about 40 years of age

though ho looks younger He is a

nomad and has been in Fort Worth off

nnd on for several years

He is a successful man-

ager of sporting enterprises and

has amassed quite a sum of money He

has a uice residence on the South Side

He is not a quarrelsome man by any

means though nobody ever doubted bis

nerve if occasion demanded its use

sion of the gambling houses on the

streets

It appears that whenever those plaoes

run along without great display In Fort

Worth they are not molested but when-

ever they become ostentatious in their

methods or some such expose as that of

last uight oocurs there Is a olamor for

more rigid enforcement of the laws

against gambling

The powers of the oity officials

should be extended In that direotion

was the comment of City Attorney T J

Powell last evening Inmost of the

Northern cities the mayor ohief of

police of prosecuting attorney can

order a raid on any place that they sus-

pect Is being conducted as a gambling

house While our officers may hare the

same authority yet it Is not speoiflcally

grunted and if a raid were attempted

here the uuxim that a mans

home is his oostle might apply

THE GAZETTE FQET WORTH TEXAS WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 24

In the North the polioe have the right to

arrest everybody found in the gambling

plaoe but under our laws It is not an

offense to be found in a gambling plaoe

The person must b9 proved to

have been gambling before a case can be

made against him I think our author-

ity should be extended in that direc-

tion

Christmas

The closing exercises of the Benevo-

and other influential citizens There are

now sixtytwo inmates of the home and

the showing they made last night is

creditable to all concerned in the school

It is the largest number of

pupils handled by any one teaober

In the city and considering the number

of grades which this tencher must attend

to the progress displayed last evening is

amazing

On account of a falling off in the

amount of supplies at the borne recently

the children will not get a very gorgeous

Christmas dinner unless the la-
