MULHALL BARRED
World's Fair Authorities WIll Not Allow Him to Participate in the Show

Fort Gibson, 29 Jun 1904


St. Louis:
The World's fair management has taken official notice of the shooting that took plkace when three men were injured as the result of a quarrel between Zach Mulhall and Frank Reed.

Norris B. Gregg, director of admissions and concessions, has notified Colonel Cummins of the Cummins wild west show that Mulhall must not hereafter appear in the show as given on the Pike by the Cummins management.

The indiscriminate shooting that took place, according to Mr. Gregg, is something that must not happen again, and, to prevent a possible repetition, Mr. Gregg has thought it best to exclude Mulhall from further participation in the performances where the trouble originated.

Two of Colonel Mulhall's daughters take important parts in the performances as given, but the order does not affect them.

The condition of Ernest Morgan, the boy who was one of the three shot by Mulhall, is more favorable than at any time since he was wounded. Both Frank Reed and John Murray, who were wounded during the fracas, are recovering rapidly.

The action taken by the exposition was probably prompted by the fact that an indigation meeting was held by the 750 Indians at the Cummins show, presided over by Chief Geronimo and Chief Blue Horse.

After their meeting they notified the management that in the event of Mulhall's return vengeance would be meted out to him.
