Chomberlain, 8. d., Special, May a.
Word has reached here of the most
cold blooded murder ever committed in
the state. Saturday evening a settler
named Mattson, while employed in the
front part of the house on the west side
OF the Missouri river, about thirty miles
south of here, was approached by an
unknown person who fired at him, the
bullet entering the forehead and death
resulting instantly. A sister of Mattson,
who was In the house. pluckily snatched
up a shot gun and fired several shots
at the fleeing form of the murderer, none
of them taking effect Dragging the dead
body of her brother into the house, she
held the fort until assistance arrived from
neighbors, /Mho were attracted by the
shooting. The young lady claims that a
German working on a neighboring ranch
is the guilty party, and he was promptly
placed under arrest and lodged in Jail
here. He, however, claims that he is
innocent, and the full facts in the case
will not be known until his preliminary
examination, which will take place within
the next few days. At the coroner's in
quest to-day the young lady stated posi-
lively that the German was guilty, but
he as positively proclaims his innocence.
It Is a remarkable case, as the young
lady says that some time ago the Ger
man attempted to poison her and her
brother by stealthily entering the house
and putting strychnine into their jar of
sugar. The case is all the more remark
able when it is considered that the muir
dered man was very inoffensive indi-
vidual. The whole neighborhood in the
vicinity of the crime is aroused. 1t is
probable that the whole matter may be
brought to light at the preliminary ex-
animation, and if not then, at the next
term of court, which convenes in about
two weeks
