der on Him.

So weak from loss of blood that he
could scarcely speak, Alfred Buhse, son
of John Buhse, a saloonkeeper at 301
Plymouth avenue, returned home Mon
Gay night. His young wife scarcely
recognized in him the strong and ro-
bust husband who had gone to Dakota
several months ago to join threshing
crew. The young mans wound is so
serious that it may result fatally, and
tramp named Mcfarland, held at
the Jail at Valley City S. D., will be
charged with murder in that event.
Buhse was working with the crew in
a small town near Valley City, and
while in a blacksmith shop some trou-
BILE arose. The man Mcfarland fired
point blank at Buhse three times. One
of the bullets pierced both lungs and
was found in Buhses shirt on the other
side from where it entered. He lay
bleeding in the shop twelve hours be-
fore a doctor could be summoned, and
in that time he passed through fearful
agony. 1t was several days before he
was strong enough to undertake the
journey home. In the meantime he
had sent word to his wife and parents
in this city, and they were shocked at
the young mans frightful appearance
From a robust, healthy man he had
thought to be slowly recovering, but his
wound is very serious.
Young BuhSe has wife and small
child. He and his father are we'll
known residents Of the Third ward.
