Christ Methodist Episcopal Church Of
this city but now in Leavenworth, Kan
sas, was this morning. about II o'clock,
assaulted with hatchet by q man named
Baum. Three gashes were made in his
head, one blow penetrating the cavity Of
the skull, and it Is thought, therefore,
he will die. The parties are very reticent,
aud 1t is said that Mr.. Thompson was
called to house of q former member
Of the church and in leaving he took the
liberty of kissing the daughter, who had
also been member OF his flock. This
so enraged Baum, who was the lover of
the girl, that he attacked him with the
result indicated. Baum, thus far, is at
large. Thompson, when approached by
the newspaper reporters, declined up to the
present time to furnish the names or par.
ticulars.
Rev. J. j. Thompson, the Methodist
minister from Leavenworth who had his
skull broken by hatchet in the hands Of
Thomas L. Baum, to-day, is doing well
tonight, with a prospect OF recovery.
Mr.. Thompson resided here several wears
as the pastor of Christ Chapel Methodist
Church. His reputation was not only
upstained, but he was universally be.
loved. The affair OF to-day has caused
much excitement. Various versions Of it,
widely at variance with the truth and
with each other, have been set ahoat. A
full investigation by impartial men ar.

the deed in fitof insane jealousy. Baum

again and found Mrs Shuyldecker alone.

at her house but only shook hands, to.

her and she refused him. Baum Is about
forty.tiye years old. He has been arrest.
