Lewis Dean Attempted to Kidnap the
Wife0fJohn James in Broad Day light.
The Husband Fired a Load of Slugs Into the
Melodrama ic Villain and Was in Turn Shot
in the Arm by the Would-B Be AbduclOr.

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON. Ind, Aug. 1S-A first-class
border tragedy was produced near here
yesterday afternoon. The trouble has been
brewing for several months. and its cul-
minstion is no surprise to those who have
been informed of the case. Some months
ago Lewis Dean. of Petersburg. persuaded
the wife of John James, of Montgomery, to
elope with HIM. The couple went to Peters
burg and there lived as man and wife for
some time. but James finally induced his wife
to return to him and promised to forgive
her. Since that time Dean has tried every
plan to get Mrs. James to desert her hus-
band again, but this she has refused to do.
In the meantime james moved to Harrison
township and engaged work at the Blue
saw-mill. Dean has been hanging about
and is said to have visited the James home
several times W hen the husband was absent,
but repeatedly failed to get Mrs. James to
60 back TO Pike county with him. Yesfer-
day afternoon. In company with man
named Moore, Dean drove up to the home
with Moore, Dean approached the house,
and when he reached the door he said:
James. by God, Pve como to get your
wife. You better not interfere with me-"
He then seized Mrs. James and pro-
ceeded to carry her to the buggy,
James procured rifle and fired point
blank at the bold kidnaper. Dean
then drew his revolver and fired at
James. The men then ceased firing and
Dean retreated. A number OF loggers who
were near. rushed to the James home and
surrounded Dean. James, who wac shot
through the loft arm, hurried to this
city and gave himself up. He thcn caused
a warrant to be issued for Dean and Moore.
Officers who hurried to the scene of the
shooting found that Dean had been Re-
leased and was driven by Moore to Peters
burg Pursuit was given and Dean was
fonnd at Petersburg in charge of three
physicians. The rife with which he had
been shot had been loaded with sluGs. One
of the missiles penetrated Deans neck, one
entered the month and several struck him
In the shoulders and breast. He Is fatally
wounded.

cidentally the trophies pertaining thereto.
of being the champion Of America in
singles and doubles, and for about ten
days the most skilful experts contend
with one another for the supremacy and
afford interesting exhibitions of what ex-
pert tennis really is. The scene of the
contest IS the Newport Casino and around
the hard turf courts, carefully marked out,
are arranged the rows of seats for the
thousands of spectators that daily watch
the play. The balconies of the various
club houses are always crowded whenever
a view Of some good match can be OBJ
tanned.
The twelfth annual tournament Of the
United States National Lawn Tennis AS
