Report of Encounter in Which One Man
Shot at Another
in a Quarrel Over a Woman.

(From Monday's Daily.)
The report of
a shooting which is said to have taken place Saturday night at the resort
of Kate Hoyt, east Broadway street, is in circulation today, and
the principals are said to have been Ed. Mayhew and Joe
Ballard. A former encounter between the two men over a woman, an
inmate of the resort is recalled and lends credibility to the reported encounter
believed to have taken place Saturday night. Mayhew is said to have shot
once at Ballard. Whether or not the shot took effect has not been learned,
since Ballard has been upon the streets today apparently uncathed[sic].
The police were reticent about the affair, not one admitting that the shooting
had taken place, or that they knew any details of the affair. From the
wide circulation the rumor of the shooting has had it is thought that police
will investigate.
