The following particulars are given
by the st. Peter Herald regarding the
shooting at Nicollet Wednesday, Of ]. B.
Kennedy by Henry Keltgen:
Mr.. John Burg, of CRANKY, has been
buying stock at Nicollet recently, and
has been assisted by his brother-in-law,
Henry Keltgen. On Wednesday even
ing these two met Kennedy upon the
street, when Mr.. Burg and Mr.. Kennedy
entered into dispute over some feed.
Mr.. Burg's side of the alteration was
assumed by Mr.. Keltgen, who made
himself very odious to Kennedy, who
asked him to keep out of the discussion.
This aroused Keltgen, who threatened
to shoot, and simultaneous with the re-
mark whipped out Al calibre revolver.
Kennedy grasped the man by the wrists
and prevented him from shooting, and
told the man that if he would put up his
revolver he would let him alone, which
Keltgen promised to do, but was no
sooner set free than he stepped back
and fred one shot, which entered the
right side between the abdomen and the
stomach, and lodged near the back. The
act was performed very coolly and very
deliberately. AS soon as shot Mr.. X.
walked to DR.. Wicke's Office and thence
to the hotel to his room, where he now
lies in a very dangerous condition, and
with small hopes of recovery.
Keltgen is in Jail at st. Peter, awaiting
the result of the shooting. q
