"NOT MY SHOT," SAYS MULHALL,
Oklahoma Cattle King Declares
Others Engaged in the Affair on the Pike

Chicago Daily Tribune, 20 Jun 1904


St. Louis, Mo., June 19.-[Special.]-
Col. Zach Mulhall denies that he shot Ernest Morgan, one of the men wounded during the affray on the Pike last night. He declares Morgan was shot by some outsider. Mulhall claims he shot at Frank Reed, another of the wounded men, in self-defense.

"There were others who shot," said Mulhall. "It is definitely known that there were many more shots than those I fired. I have never intentionally harmed any one in all my life. I never saw Morgan during the trouble. I had no cause to injure him. Furthermore, I generally hit what I shoot at."

Murray, the third member of the affray, will recover.

Mulhall and Reed are prisoners at Four courts. Both may be released tomorrow morning on $10,000 bond.
