John Bielman and His Wife Cruelty
Treated by Masked Men
STRONG CIrY, Kan, June 20. -Anoth-
err sensation was created in this coun-
ty last night by the action of band
of White Caps, in shooting Mr. John
Bielman, and probably fatally wound
ing his wife at their house, south of
Cottonwood Falls.
Mr.. Bielman and wife were engaged
in reading when a knock was heard
upon the door. Not suspecting danger,
the call was answered by Bielman,
when he was seized by two of the
masked men. Being a powerful man
he succeeded in combining the struggle
to che inside of the house. desper-
ate fight easued, during which Bel
man was shot in the side, the ball
passing out at the top of the right
shoulder.
His wife, in her endeavors to assist
him, was struck over the head by a
club in the hands of some one of the
masked party. The wounds of Bel
man are pronounced not serious, but
those of his wife will probably term
mate fatally. During the melee
Bielman succeeded in tearing a
mask from the face of one
of his assailants, which has
led to the arrest of eight we'll known
men of the county. now confined in
the county jail No cause is assigned
for the dastardly act, except that it
is the outcome of series of long
standing disputes over petty thieving
that has been going on in that secti on
of the county for some ii me past.
