The "unwrlsten Law" Invoked.


One of those unfortunate cases in
which the 'unwritten law was in.
voked came to climax last Saturday
morning, resulting in the dangerous
shooting by ". 7. Wallace of Fred
Tanner. The shooting occurred that
morning short time before : clock
on Main street.
Tanner was formerly employed by
". T. Wallace and his wife as clerk of
the Valley Hotel, and it is claimed by
Mr.. Wallace 5 friends that Tanner then
made remarks rejecting upon the
character of Mrs. Wallace. These
finally came 10 the ears of Mr.. Wallace
and he is said TO have informed Tanner
that he must stop his remarks or leave
the city. This went on for some time
when Mr.. Wallace again heard that
Tanner had been talking too much
and he went TO him and told him he
must leave the city and not return under
penalty Of taking the consequences. He
/ then left and went to his home at
Neosho. Mo.
During Tanner services as clerk of
the Valley House he had occasion to run
against some parties attempting TO pass
counterfeit money and this caused his
return here, he having been summoned
by the Federal court at Fort Smith as a
prosecuting witness in the case. While
waiting for the case to come 10 trial he
was stopping with his brother in this
city.
Saturday morning while on his way
to take the Mo. Pacific local to Fort
Smith he had just gotten to the corner
of Jarvis grocery, when Mr.. Wallace
walked out into the street from in front
of his brother S saloon and without
notice began firing at him with a
double barrelled shotgun loaded with
No. 4 shot, the first charge taking
effect in his right leg. He then ran
down the sidestreet and on trying to
enter the side door of Jarvis store re-
eeived a second charge in the right side.
Mr.. Wallace then reloaded and pushing
open the front door of the store fired a
third charge in Tanners s back as he
was leaving by the rear door. Tanner
fell in the rear of the mayor Office and
was assisted inside and medical aid
summoned. At that time he was
thought to be fatally wounded and was
asked TO make statement in regard to
the shooting. which he did, saying in
substance that he knew of no reason
for Mr. Wallace S attack.
Mr. Wallace was arrested and
declined to make a statement. That
afternoon he was released under s., 500
bond
There have been all kinds of rumors
afoat, but nothing definite will be
known until the case comes before the
grand jury next month.
Tanner. contrary to all expectations,
appears to be recovering from his
wounds.
