FROM IRELAND Wm Barry, just from the old sod, was a passenger on the southern stage last Monday nigh. The Following letter of introduction to H.C. Whitworth from an old Lake County sheepman will explain his mission................................................ Newmarket Cork Ireland, Mar 26, 1900 Mr. H.C. Whitworth, Esq. Lakeview Oregon Bearer, William Barry, is a friend of mine and as poetry is cheap, he wants to herd sheep, so treat him well and I will Appreciate any kindness done him. Yours, OLD MIKE BARRY June 21, 1900 After the big Fire burned most of Lakeview. Occasionally we hear expressions of regret from beolated visitors to Lakeview who arrive to view the ruins. A sheepherder was seen looking at the ruins of the brewery last Saturday. His face had a sorrowful look. A passer-by accosted him thus: "Bad looking sight, eh?" The Shepherd glanced moutnfully down into the empty brewey cellar and replied: "Yes, it's too bad! Look at all the burned barrels of Steam beer; what will us poor devils do this summer?" Among the prominent woolgrowers who visited Lakeview last week was M.P. Barry. Mr. Barry has a fine lot of wool yet unshorn and was in to see how the market looked. A week or so ago he had the misfortune to lose a fine span of mares, very mysteriously, and somebody will be likely to get into trouble over the matter. Phil Lynch the woolgrower arrived from camp Thursday. Mr. Lynch has as fine a clip of 1900 wool as can be found in Lake County, and says that buyers will never get it for 13 cents. June 28, 1900 The Examiner visited the shearing corrals of Michael P. Barry yesterday and found that the gentleman with his crew busy shearing his band of 3,000 bleathers. Mr. Barry has a fine lot of sheep and will average about eight pounds of wool to the head this year. He has sold to Gifford of Western Meat Co. about 1,500 wethers at $2.50. Phil and Tom Lynch has sold 2,000 sheep to buyer Mersfield for the price of $2.50 August 2, 1900 It is remoured that W.K. Barry will remove the building on the lot receently purchased from J. Frankl, where James McShane resides, and will put up a good hotel on the property. Barry is a "rustler," and pins his faith to Lakeview as a place for real estate hodings. He is now one of the largest property holders in Lakeview a veritable landlord. August 16, 1900 Michael McShane Dies in San Francisco Beloved husband of Esther McShane, sepfather of Jennie, Nillie, Kitty, and Willie Dillon, Mrs. P. McEntee and a native of County Armakb, Ireland aged 65 years. .September 19, 1901 SHEEP SALE H. Manring made a sale his band of 2600 sheep last week to Dan Malloy and John W. Tucker at $3 for all over a year and $1.75 for the lambs. Quite few woolgowers have gone out of business this summer. There are two reasons for this sudden change it is said namely, the probability of a severe winter and the present good prices for sheep prevailling and the uncertainty of what may be done regarding the leasing of public domain. October 20, 1904

The Shooting occurred in the street near the store and saloon conducteed by Willis Scammon, between dusk and dark. The particulars of the fatal affray are hard to get and many different stories are told. By the information given the Examiner. it appears that after drinking and carousing in the saloon where guns were much in evidence, four men, Phillip Barry, Nick Barry, Wm. Lane and Tim Ahern emerged and went down to a hitching rack, where their horses stood. Phillip Barry mounted his horse and rode up to within 20 or 30 feet of Nick Barry and Tim Ahern and fired his pistol, the bullet taking effect in Tim Ahern's neck near the jugular vein, and ranging downward, lodging in the vertebrae and crushed the spinal cord. Both Nick Barry and Wm, Lane ran. WillisScammon hearing the shot, ran out of a corral nearby and grabbed the gun as barry strted to ride away, and in the scuffle it was discharged, the bullt under Scammin's arm. Scammon told Barry to consider himself under arrest, but he rode away and disappeared in the darkness. As he did so, Scammon discharged the gun in the air in an endeavor to stop him. Ahern was carried to the Scammon home and had everything done for him that could be done, but he only lived until 11 o'clock that night. He asked Mrs. Scammon if he was badly hurt and she told him she thought not fatally. He was asked what physician he wished and he replied that he wanted Dr. Steiner. Harry Riggs was dispatched at once, arriving at Lakeview at 2 a.m. over 40 miles in a rain storm and bad roads.
