miles south of Savannah. Two white men

SAND CoULEE SHOOTING.

Christmas Whiskey and a Winchester Rifle
A Bad Combination.
While the Christmas festivities were
being duly celebrated at Sand Coulee
Wednesday, combination of bad whis-
key and Is shot Winchester gun came
near proving fatal to the person of Geo.
Wren of that place.
William Brown, who had been out rab-
bit hunting, came home and from all ac-
counts was most gloriously full of fire.
water. Geo. Wren, an inoffensive neigh
Dor and fast friend of Browns, was at his
house when he arriyed ard from what q
LEADER reporter could learn it seems
that Browns wife and Wren took the
gun from him, fearing that he might do
some one bodily harm and Wren started
to take the weapon to its owner, Anthony.
This must have caused some words and
Wren, who was also drunk, didn't 60 but
little way when he returned and threw
the gun upon the ground striking the
stock against rock and breaking it.
Upon see that the gun was broken
Brown began fooling with it to see if it
would work and finding that it would
turned it upon Wren, whereupon he be-
gan to run. While he was running
Brown discharged the Winchester three
times, the last shot taking effect. The
ball struck at the point of the hip bone,
coursed around the bone and came out in
the groin, just missing one of the arteries.
Both men have been interviewed and
it seems that neither one knows why or
how the shooting was done. They de-
clare to be the best of friends and each
expresses himself as being utterly un-
conscious of the cause.
Mrs. Brown who was al so seen, tells
about the same story, saying that they
had few words, but that there was no
cause for the shooting and the best that
can be made of it is that both men were
crazy drunk and that Brown was not re-
ally shooting at his friend, but was shoot
ing merely to see him run.
Be this as 1t may it is q bad affair as
Wren may not recover from his wound.
After doing the shooting Brown went
to the mine and declared he would not
be taken alive. Some friends went to
|
to come out and give himself up. Mean
while Sheriff Hamilton had been
telegraphed and with Deputy Morrison
drove out to the Coulee and brought the
prisoner in.
Brown is about feet II inches in
hight, dark complexion and weighs about
1870 pounds. He is between 35 and 40
years of age. He has wife and five
children and is said to be sober and in
dustrious man.
Geo. Wren, the man who was shot is a
single man, is feet 0 inches high, will
weigh about 175 pounds, dark complex
ion and is about 38 years Of age.
Brown is now confined in the county
jail and expresses himself as very sorry
for the shooting and is utterly at a loss to
know how it happened.
Wren is lying at Sand Coulee, but will
be removed to the hospital here as soon
as possible. He is also at a loss to know
