There was a very serious shooting affray at Carney last Friday night, resulting in the death of one person. W.L. Power and Jake McKinney were on one side and Walker brothers, McCullough brothers and others on the opposing side. As nearly as we can learn there was some whiskey in town and one of the boys was intoxicated and used bad language in the presence of ladies at the hotel supper table, he was remonstrated with and this brought on trouble which continued to grow worse till the shooting at about 11 o'clock. Robert Walker was shot in the back and died Saturday evening and was buried at Haskell Sunday. Power and McKinney waived examination and were placed under $2,500 bond each. There were about 150 shots, and two persons engaged on one side and six on the other.
