We learn from a gentleman from Fulton,
in this county, of distressing accident
that occurred ON the farm OF a man named
Keller, who lives a short distance north OF
Fort Lincoln. Ii seemed that the Kellers
had been annoyed by some parties IN
known, who would come after night, take
down the bars and let the cattle in. The
Keller brothers concluded to watch and If
possible catch the person. On last Satur-
day night they stationed themselves near
the bars with guns. About o'clock A. NJ
the wife of the younger Keller, becoming
uneasy, concluded to go out and see how
things were. In going out she had to go
through the bars to get where her husband
was, and when in the act Of craving
through, both of the Kellers shot her. She
was still alive at ii o'clock Sunday night.
but the physicians say there is no hope Of
her recovery.
