Last Monday evening, our inhsbIt-
ance were startled by the cries Of muir
der and deadly conflict. The dis
turbance came from Sam Reaser's /
boarding house and an inquiry re
vealed the fact that the landlord-Sam !
Reaser-and a young man named Lee
Veatch had become involved In q
fuss, which resulted in the former
shooting the latter IN the stomach.
Immediately after the afihir, Reaser
went to Salina and surrendered him
self, while Veach was taken home
where he still fingers In great agony.
His recovery Is doubtful. Mr. Reaser,s
friends claim that Veach had the
reputation Of being q somewhat des-
peFate character, and had many times
fhrea tened to kill him. At the time
referred 10, Veateh fiFst drew his ~
voiver but had no chance 70 take aim
at his man and fired once after he re-
eeived the wound. It Is needless 20
say that he was beastly intoxicated
on the occasion.
