! when he got down town he found that
he had been touched for $500. He
thought that he had LOSE 1t up there and
went up to get it That's all he said
to me-"
Did ne abuse Shea or swear?"
"No."
Mr.. Childs said that as soon as they
arrived at the city building that ne ran
across tlne street and got DR.. Whitlock.
and he rode down with them to the
| Wichita Hospital. In the meantime
City Physician Cave was telephoned to
and he arrived at the hospital shortly af-
ter they got there.
DOCTOR CAVE TALKS.
Doctor Cave, county physician, assist
ed by DR. Purdue. waited on the wounded
Sunday night, in talk with Paddy
| Shea, Shea had said:
He tumbled at the first shot,
well, you shot MIN in the back first,
Ehen, for that's the shot did the mis-
chief
Here the doctor said Shea mumbled
out something that ne took to mean that
Shea didn't know where ne did shoot
Dawson first
Dawson said he was standing turn
ed part way around when Shea shot,"
said the doctor. HE said also that Shea
kicked him twice, which would seem to
be borne out by the fact that one of his
ribs was broken just where he said Shea
kicked him. Shea made the statement
plainly and over again that Dawson
tunbied the first shot, but when told
him that only the shot fired into his
back could have hurt he didn't know
which shot was first. Dawson may get
we'll, but it's doubtful. If meningitis
doesn't set in think he will recover"
DAwsoN's PARTNER.
Charley Smith, who stays at Hose
House No. l, said on Sunday night that
the man who was found murdered in a
hay stack in Arkansas City about two
weeks ago, was a partner OF DdwsOn's.
Both OF them had been around the hose
house The identity Of the man found in
Arkansas City proved him to have been
the friend OF both Shea and Dawson.
There ia something very mysterious
about both the shooting and the DEAN
OF the man at Arkansas City. Dawson
is known TO be q crook and one Who does
nothing but big jobs. Probably several
OF the bank robberies that have occurred
in the surrounding towns may be the
best solution to the death OF the fellow
at Arkan.as City. He may have known
too muc1 or else mad money and the rest
Of the gang fearing that he might show
the white feather put him out Of the
way.
Another theory, and TIE one most gen
orally believed. "a that Dawson Tan of
to Colorado Springs with Mrs. Shea
while Paddy vas at Gueda Springs. AMI
t1at Paddy wanted 10 avenge the wrong
that had been done him.
There are a few wf1o advance TIE
theory that Mr.. ard Mrs. Shea had an
understanding between them 70 w0rk
Dawson out O. his money. The plan
was tE,s1 Mrs. shea was 20 elope with
Dawson and get his money and 70 r.
turn To Wichita. As .ie was unable to

II SAea's place and ne got HI, money
Sunday night.

over some money affairs and not over
Mrs Shea a. - generally believed. Since
Mrs. S1ea lect hin they have met an5
conve-se,i AMI slways in an snic.bie

that Saea shot Dawson Because of his
