THE ORIGIN OF THE rRotRLE.
As near n the reporter could learn the
rause of the trouble was rs follows:
On the eth Of October, 1876, Mr.. Frank
Of Kansas City. was murdered
near Brownsville On the Sth. the day fol-
lowing, = negro named Anderson now
4 barber in Sedalia. who MAS at that time
working for Shaw, was arrested suspected
# the crime Of killing Rarnum. \ few
days after, while incarceratcd in Jail a par
~ Of men at night, took Anderson ont 81
Jail Or away from the guards. and took him
to the brush and hung him to make him
Tell what he kew IL the killing The nm
known party
HUNG HIM FEW TIMES,
and gaining nothing from him told him 10
leave Brownsville and never return. lie
did leave, and has never l,een back.
That night Shaw, learning that Anderson
had l.een taken irum the guarls,
etarted 0at 10 find him. While
nm the street party oi persons
unknown 10 him surrounded him, and
changed him shaw with hcing the muir
.lerer Of Rarnum. Shaw was told, We Ike
lieve, that Sail G. Aulser was the spokes-
man that night Of the party who surrounded
him, and ever since he had probably nursed
his xrath for revenge on Aulger. This is
the story a. was gained from reliable and
responsible parties at Brownsville yester-
day.
on SATURDAY EVENING,
what passed between the two men is I'M
known, only Auleer Was seen to. s,rike
Shaw with his Est, when Shaw pulled his
revolver and shot At Aulger and missed him
but hit Robert E. Green. As soon as Shaw
Cred be retrsatsd into the saloon, and got
behind and under the counter, and in this
condition continued to shoot at Aulger,
who followed him mp with drawn revolt
yer, shooting whenever he could get eyes
on his antagonist. Ten shots were fired in
all, from both revolver, and the inside If
the saloon hears the appearance Of ter
rible conflict having taken place there.
Aulger was very slightly hurt-having
been struck in the forehead with Shaw's
pistol.
Shaw has very slight bullet wound on
top Of the right shoulder. The wound Is
only . scratch-not enough to require To
be areseed:
Aulger vas asressed and gave bond for
his appearance before Justice Gilmore
on Tuesday, and went home on Saturday
