150 Years 1887-1901 The Dalles THE DECADES OF HISTORY PART THREE OF THE DALLES CHRONICLES TEN-PART SERIES. April 27, 2007 Page 2 SHOOTING AT BALDWIN CORNER Photo [text only] The Baldwin Saloon pictured with owner Dr. Charles Allen and Hy Henderson tending bar. The saloon was originally built in 1876 by James and John Baldwin. During the ownership by Dr. Charles Allen, the saloon had a small frame brothel attached to the back of the building. DAN MALONEY SHOT Attacked Jack Prahl the Second Time, and the Latter Shot to Kill Yesterday afternoon about 3:45 three pistol shots, fired in quick succession, drew a crowd to the corner of Court and First streets, where it was learned that Dan Maloney had been shot by a young fellow 21 years of age, named Jack Prahl. Maloney was taken into a room back of the Baldwin saloon, and Dr. Hollister was called to attend to his injuries. An examination disclosed that one bullet had struck him about two inches below the left nipple, ranging downwards. The wound is identical with that that killed President Garfield. He was taken to a room in the Bettingen building, where he is being cared for. Dr. Hollister informs us that the bullet probably lodged in the right kidney. His pulse has been at 130 all night, but he shows wonderful vitality and has a fighting chance for his life. ¶ The trouble, it seems, began at Camas Prairie, Wash., last 4th of July over a horse race, and was renewed yesterday by Maloney when he ran across Prahl, words leading to blows, the latter being given by Maloney, who struck Prahl. This being over, Maloney again ran across Prahl at the Baldwin corner and knocked him down. As Prahl got up he picked up a rock and warned Maloney not to come any nearer. The latter continued to advance when Prahl pulled his pistol and fired, with the results stated. ¶ After the shooting, Prahl walked up Court street to the Wiseman corner, followed closely by Constable Hill, who called upon him to surrender. Prahl replied that if he was an officer he would do so, and Dick Gorman, who was looking out of the window from Bennetts office, and who knew Prahl, called out to him to surrender that Hill was an officer. Prahl threw his pistol down and walked quietly to the city jail. The pistol was a new one purchased yesterday after the first trouble from Mays & Crowe. It is a 38, Ivor-Johnson Arms & Cycle Co. Works of Pittsburgh, Pa. make, and is of the hammerless style. Prahl at the jail seemed somewhat excited, but very wisely refused to make any statement concerning the affair. August 8, 1887.
