may result in cath to one and a prison
life to another otherwise good citizen
of this county, occurred at Olmitz on
Monday evening the 9Th inst. From
what we can learn, the circumstances
are as follows:
Ernest Lux and Narzis Schwartz,
both farmers living near OlmitZ, met
in that town Monday evening of last
week, and got into dispute over what
property each one owned. Each had
been drinking some, and hot words
soon brought on personal encounter.
with the result that Narzis Schartz is
today in very serious condition, with
three knife wounds, one in his right
breast and two in the back near the
shoulder.
Frank Schwartz, son of the injured
man, and the only eye witness to the
affair, came to Great Bend Thursday
of Earnest Lux, charging him with at
tempted murder. He was arrested and
brought before Justice B. F. Ogle for
examination. His preliminary hearin G
was continued to April 18th. at 10 a.
m., and he was remanded to Jail in de-
fault Of $500 bond pending such hear
ing.
We have been unable to get the full
particulars of the affair, as the people
up there do not care to talk about it.
In Judge Ogles court the vest worn by
Schwartz. showing the three knife
wounds, and stiff with the blood of the
woner was seen.
Both parties to this unfortunate
trouble are said to be well lido, indus
trious farmers who have heretofore
borne good regulations. Schwartz is a
brother of the man Schwartz, who was
found murdered, near his home, about
five years ago.

SHOT THROUGH THE BODY.
Joe WelCh'S System Perforated by Two
Bullets.
A Third Was Dug Out-Result of an
Early Morning ARRAY on
L Street.

Joe Welch lies at the Sisters of Mercy
Hospital with three bullet-holes in his
body, two of which extend clear through
him. The wounds were received on
Saturday while he was seeking to land
cobblestone on one w. NJ. Johnson.
The latter was arrested. 1t seems
hardly possible for Welch to survive
his injuries, but as he is as tough phys
ically as otherwise, he may pull
through. 1t is not the first close call
he has had for his life during his tur-
bulent career. Late last night he was
reported as resting easy.
The shooting took place about half
past s o'clock Saturday morning in
Neubauer's saloon at Third and l.
streets. Welch and Johnson had been
drinking during the night, and while
in another saloon became involved in
dispute that was renewed in Neubau
ers place.
One report is that Johnson struck
WeIch in the face but this is denied.
However, Welch left the saloon for the
purpose of arning himself Then john
son, who had thrown his pistol into the
street. where it was picked up and
given to the bartender, asked for it and
got it. He placed it in his pocket and
went back into a box" in the rear of
the saloon apparently to avoid Welch
should the latter return.
Welch soon re-entered the saloon with
a cobblestone in his hand and made for
the rear room in search of Johnson.
The bartender and man named John
Mahoney grappled with Welch to try
and prevent further trouble. but he
managed to get to the room where
Johnson was when the latter opened
fire on him.
Three shots were fired, all of which
took effect in Welch's body. One struck
him under the left armpit and passed
through his side, another entered under
the left shoulder and was extracted,
and the third struck him squarely in
the breast and passed through his body.
One of the bullets that passed through
him wounded Mahoney in the arm.
Johnson's pistol was a 44-caliber.
After Welch's wounds had been
dressed at the Receiving Hospital by
City Physician H. L. Nichols and his
assistant, Dr. Ogden, the wounded man
was taken to the Sisters Hospital. Ma
honey was locked up as a witness after
the wound in his arm was attended to.

been engaged in many broils. A few
years ago he was terribly slashed by a
razor welded by colored tough, his
cheek and neck being laid open by the
keen blade, which barely missed the

Johnson, who is familiarly known as
'"The Missouri Kid is quiet sort of
man of the sporting class. He has
never been known as tough, but those
most familiar with his character say he
is a man of great courage and strong
nerve, one of the kind whom it is dam
gerous to fool with. His occupation
was for many years that of faro dealer.
but latterly he has been out of employ
ment.
A woman named Lizzie Webber. with
whom Johnson has been living, has

The matter came up on the applica-
