Andy Crittenden Shot
Andy Crittenden was dangerously wounded last Thursday evening by city marshal John WEST.The shooting occured in front of Hotel Adams about 10:30pm., while the South bound Passenger train was standing at the depot.West fired two shots at Crittenden, the first entering his left breast just below the nipple and passing out near his spinal column, and the other entered his right side and was taken out near the spinal column.Both wounds are ugly and teh condition of Crittenden is critical.Crittenden was under the influence of whiskey.As there were several conflicting reports as to how the trouble originated we will not comment on the unfortunate affair further than to say that some of those witnessed difficulty think West was justifiable in shooting Crittenden and others think he was not.25 Jan 1890.
