Bill Nutting Shot.

Bill Nutting, the murderer of Lang
lois, the Frenchman, 10 a joint at
Hunnewell several years ago, was
shot and perhaps fatally wounded by
one William JamisOn at Clearwater
Tuesday night of last week. The
shooting is the result Of bitter hatred
existing between Nutting and
JamisOu.
Nutting owns drug store at Clear
water. Tuesday night about II
O'Clock JamisOn went to the place and
called for drink Of whisky. Nutting
refused to sell it to him, Hot words
followed and Jamison was ordered Out
OF the store. He refused to 90 and
Nutting made a threatening move,
with the remark:
"I'll send you out"
As he did this JamISOn reached for
his gun and shot Nutting, the bullet
entering the right lung just above the
nipple. The shot was fred from 3S-
calibre revolver. JamisOu was
arrested and taken to Wichita Thurs.
day.
The shooting created considerable
excitement in Clearwater. Jamison
lives there. Not much can be learned
about him. He was placed under
arrest by the Clearwater authorities
Immediately after the! shooting &C.
CURED, but the news of the affair did
not reach Wichita until Thursday
morning. County Attorney Sam B.
AmidOn Of Sedgwick county is inves.
tigating the shooting. The latest
reports are that Nutting will recover.
Later reports of the shooting of
Bill Nutting at Clearwater as told by
the Wichita Star, are as follows:
The quarrel which ended in the
shooting, started at funeral held
during the day. A young cousin of
Mr.. Jamison had a spasm and DR..
Nuttng, who was present, attended
him. After giving the boy necessary
care the doctor remarked to his
mother that another spasm like that
would end him, mixing the sentence
with OathS. JamisOn ordered him
out of the house and Nutting went.
During the afternoon both did con.
siderable talking, and at night, Nut
ting, who runs drug store joint, WIS.,
tied Jamison's joint. As soon as
Nutting came in JamisOn ordered
him out. There were some hot words
and then, it is claimed, Nutting
reached for his gun and had it half
out when JamisOn shot him.
The bullet entered the right breast
and passed through the body, lodging
under The skin at the back. After
the shooting Nutting walked to his
own place and then fell. The wound
is painful, but is not considered dan.
gerOus.
County Attorney AmidOn went to
Clearwater yesterday to investigate
the matter and after learning the
facts decided not to prosecute Jami-
son. 1t was clear case Of self defense.
Nutting's gun was drawn partly out
Of his pocket in JamiSon's joint and
fell out when in his own store.
Dr. Nutting will be brought to this
city in charge of DR.. Hoffman and
placed in the city hospital for treat
ment. The bullet has not yet been
extracted.

The recent visits paid by Sir Julian

gether to the Canadian negotiations.
According to my authority, the authors
Of the proposed alliance now being con-
sidered are these:
Great Britain is to recognize the
Monroe doctrine, to attempt no increase
Of her territorial possessions IN the
Western Hemisphere, and to endorse
the American construction of that doc
trine. The United States is to build the
Nicaragua Canal and Great Britain is
to have the use of it in time or war.

land in her policy in China and the
East and all the British ports in the
East are to be opened to the United
States under. the most favored nation
clause.
"The main features of the arbitra-
ton treaty are to be incorporated. II
has been provided that all matters in
dispute not involving the Monroe doc
trine or the Nicaragua Canal are to
be submitted to a non-partisan COM
mission. The existing understanding
bearing upon the relations between
the two governments on the great lakes
are to be abrogated and the United
States are to be given the use Of the
Welland canal in case of war.

as the foregoing. AS a matter OF

Cape Haytien, Hayti, May 29.-No
news from Santiago de Cuba was oe-
tainable here this morning, but on the
other hand, it is reported that two YES
sells of the Cadiz fleet, said to be the
Francis Joseph and the Maria Theresa,
left Gibraltar yesterday for Cuba.
These names are probably wrong, as
there is no Spanish vessel known here
as the Francis Joseph, and the Infanta
Maria Theresa is understood to be the
flagship of the fleet commanded by
Admiral Cervera.
The two vessels reported from Cape
Haytien as having left Gibraltar yes
terday for Cuba may be the Austria
cruisers Kaiserin Maria Theresa and
Kaiser Franz Joseph, and not two YES
sells of the Cadiz fleet of Spain. The
Spanish fleet organized at Cadiz is, &C.
cording to official Madrid advices, eth
er at Cadiz, or manoeuvring off the
coast preparatory to sailing for some
destination to be determined upon by
the government The utter absence Of
news from Santiago de Cuba, which is
connected with this place by cable, is
causing more and more establishment
as days go by and no messages are re-
ceived in spite of the fact that the cable
is in working order.
The Cuban leader here is wagering
that the war will not last longer than
June 21st. The Cubans are very en-
thusastic that the Spanish fleet is bot
tied up at Santiago de Cuba and they
say it is surely lost.
