worked In laundry, but it was all on her
account that Henry Stringham pulled gun
and lodged bullet in the arm of Sam Hale
at Kenosha last Friday night. 1t seems
that both OF the young men had been suing
for the favor of this queen of the wash tub,
and she, like all of the female sex, was fond
OF admirers and kept them both dangling
on the string. It was in front of Melville's
book store on that evening, where the two
young men had some words, and in a second
StrIngham's hand went to his hip pocket
and producing % calibre revolver, dis
charged it point blank at Hale, swho, fling
ing up his arm, caught the bullet a little
above the elbow. 1t came out again near
his shoulder. Stringham, later in the eve
ming. gave himself up to the officers.-Ra-

The hearing in this case was set for
Wednesday morning, but was postponed 10
days to give the defense more time for
preparation. Lillian Shepard is the name
OF the heroine of this melodrama. String
ham says the act was in self defense, as
Hale had insisted on fighting. Stringham
had just babe the girl good bye at the
Grant House corner and walked over to
Weiskopf's store where Hale met him.
Stringham says that Hale remarked as he
approached, that there was nothing for
them to do but fight. Hale does not deny
that ne made a remark like that, and as
they walked north, Hale insisted on fight
ing and Stringham refused, and when in
front of Grosch Bros. store, Stringham
feared an assault and fired. That is one
side of the story. Hale refused to tell his
side of the case until in court
