FIVE ARE SHOT IN
RUNNING FIGHT
In Family Row Charlie Brickey of
Black River Uses his
Gun Freely
A family fued of about a year’s
standing broke out afresh between
citizens of Black River township
last Suuday, and as a result Char
lie Brickey shot George Ashby,
Theo. Stone, and Riley and Bob
Mulligan. None of the men are
seriously hurt however.
George Ashby is said to have
received several small shot in his
hip and had to call in a physician
to dress his wounds, which were
rather painful hut not of a serious
nature. The other parties were
only peppered with shot; their as
sailant being so far away that they
were not hurt.
It seems from reprorts that the
wounded men were the aggress
ors. They had some trouble with
Brickey about a year ago, and Sun
day they renewed the old trouble
with the result above stated.
