Additional Details of the Shooting ARRAY at
Xenia.
Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
MARION, June 21.-The shooting ARRAY at
Xenia, on Tuesday night, was far more seri-
GUS than FIRST reported. Young Winters will
either die or, if he lives, will remain para
lyzed for the rest of his life. The firm of
Samuel Winters & Son commenced the pub
LEGATION of the Xenia Times about a year ago,
and in that time have succeeded in making
many enemies by their indiscriminate and
bitter personalities. Charles Winters was
driven out OF DR.. T.. G. Kimball's residence a
short time ago at the point of a revolver by
the irate Doctor. Several burglaries had
been committed, and Charles Winters had
been suspected, but until last Monday the
evidence was lacking to fasten guilt upon
him. A young man named Norris was
arrested, and made a full confess
sion, duplicating Winters, his cousin,
and aunt. He was taken to Peru,
accompanied by his father, and bailed.
Upon their return, Tuesday night, the:father
and son, armed with revclvers, attacked Pat.
Kinney, a merchant, and attempted to shoot
him. Kinney succeeded in wrestling the re-
volver from Samuel Winters's hands and
throwing him down, and was beating him
with the hutt end of it when young Winters
came to his fathers assistance. A large
crowd had surrounded the two men when
the son dashed in. Just then two shots from
a revolver were fired, and the young man
fell. He was shot from behind, Tie ball en-
tering near the base of the spine. His con-
dition at last accounts was very serious. He
is completely p%araiyzed below the wound.
The most diligent inquiry failed to discover
the person h fired the shot. If it is known,
the secret is well Kept.

EVANSVILLE, June 21.-Yesterday morning,

scented himself at the residence of Rev. Fa-
Their Viefhaus, of st. Mary's Catholic Church,
and failing to arouse the inmates by ringing
the doorbell, fired several shots from a gun
through the doors and windows of the house.
Before the police arrived he had fed, but not
before being recognized by a neighbor, who
communicated the mans name and descrip-
ton to the officers. He was not found, how
ever, until to-day, when his arrest was
effected only after a desperate struggle and
the wounding of two officers. Deputies
Fitzwilliams and Edwards discovered him
in a stable belonging to Mr.. Uhl,
but before they could secure the man he
drew a butcher-knife ten inches in length
and made for them, inficting in the first. on
slaught a painful wound in the calf of Fitz-
willians's left leg. Edwards grappled with
the maniac, and a terrible struggle ensued,
both officers doing all in their power to ar
rest, and he successfully resisting and in
hicting numerous cuts about their faces,
hands and arms, The officers were finally
compelled to beat a retreat and have their
hurts attended to by a physician. At this
juncture the chief and lieutenant of police
and several patrolmen arrived, Unfried
meantime ascending to the hayloft, where,
with a scythe and pitchfork, he managed
to keep the officers at bay. A hose reel was
finally ordered upon the scene, and by turn
ing a stream of water at full pressure upon
him he was finally forced to come down,
when he was seized and taken to the police
station. An inquest of lunacy will be held
at once. Unfried had been an inmate of an
insane asylum for several years, but was re-
LEASED two years ago.
