An Account OF the Shooting ScraPe a
Fargo Springs.

An Account OF the Shooting ScraPe at
Fargo Springs.
We clip the following account OF the
shooting scrape which lately occurred at
Fargo Springs from the Prairie Owl.
O'Brien will be remembered as an old
resident of EmpoEia, and many citizens
of this place will feel sorry for Jimmie,
who was generally considered harmless
old man by those acquainted with him
here:
Our peaceaele little city was thrown
into state CT teVeTish excitement on last
Thursday by the report that spread like
wild-fife that a man had been shot. An
tact that James O'BrIen and James JOT-
n had had some harsh ords while 81
al eStIDg house on South G ntral avenue
which erdzd b, O'Brlen shooting and MOI
tally woundIng JoTdOl a short time alter
ward, from tine effects of which he died
af er suffering untold agony for about
| twenty hours This, like other cases 81
who d. Isberately killed fellow being. is
probably seventy five years of age, witt
hair as white as snow, totteTiag on th.s
verge of eternity, who has been among Us
tor several N nths, working at his trade,
that of Z haInts IS maker, ard YVES general
| ~ considered harmless, CHILDISH oIu
man. He G we himself up to the officer
without an attempt to evade them, not
seeAing tO care what was done with
him. James JordoD, the muTderev
man, was hard working
| young man who came from Iowa last tall
with little to help himself with, except
his team which he brought with him.
| By hard work and close economy he had
made end saved enough in the six months
he had been here to build for his little
family whom he left behind, 9 comfortable
home on his claim. His wife and babies
who were about to join him here, viii
never do so now. for the dear husband and
LOVING father has crossed the dark river
from whence mortal never returns. AnC
thus the ties that bound loving family
are broken without a moments warning
There is little doubt but the demon
king alcohol. was the prime mover in thi
sad affair. Alcohol has thus bliGhted thu
fair prospects of more than one human
being, and daily blasts more souls anC
causes more misery and sorrow upon THU
earth than ali other causes. Let this saC
affair be terrible warning to The Younl
men Of our prosperous little city.
