Elmer Howard Shot and Perhaps
Fatally Injured.
SHOOTING DONE BY GEORGE RANDALL
The Trouble Was the elimination OF
Quarrel Over Woman and Occur.
cd ut the Corner of Market and
Main Last Evening.
From MondaY's daily.

George w. Randall shot and perhaps
fatally injured Elmer Howard last ev-
ening little after o'clock, the shoot
ing being the elimination of a quarrel
which had been in progress between
Randall and Howard and his associates
during the evening. The trouble is
said to have originated over a woman
and terminated in front of the Ottum-
wa National bank at the corner of
Main and Market streets. There We're
a number of eye witnesses to the trag-
edy, among them being w. L. Car
ruthers, who advised Randall to imme-
diately surrender himself to the police,
which he did, going unaccompanied by
any one save Mr.. Carruthers, to the
station.
Howard was conveyed to the Office Of
DR.. NJ. Fl. Sprague, where after maxi
ing brief examination of his injuries,
the doctor had him conveyed to his
home, 1910 Emma street. The wound
is considered very serious one. The
bullet is of 38 caliber and entered the
body about three inches below the left
arm, passing between the ribs and
through a portion of the left lung
and is now located in the region of the
sixth dorsal vertebra. The ball bare
ly missed the heart, and has complete
" paralyzed the body below the
wound. DR.. Sprague said this morning
that if the patient lives, he will prob
ably always be paralyzed, but that his
chances for recovery are very doubt
full. Mr.. Howard when seen by Cou-
rier reporter this morning was resting
easily and does not appear to be in
much pain. He is very weak and has

PEOPLES PULPIT.
The Hltemnn strike.

dlteman, Ia, NOV. III.
Editor of the Courier: Sir-I am
authorized through the miners
union of this place to write you the
following for publication in the Couri-
er: Drivers of this place on Tuesday
morning failed to report for work as
usual. The. miners and other compa-
NY hands were at a loss to understand
the meaning of this action on the part
of the drivers; but shortly it was made
known that the boys wanted So per
day, or, if this was refused by the COM
pany, they would accept places to COM
mence digging. We are informed that
! the company refused to give the So
per day and could not supply them all
with suitable places to dig. So the
/! consequence was that on Tuesday and
Wednesday they were idle. On Mon
day night previous the miners union
passed resolutions that they must have
an escape shaft sunk for the safety of
, the underground employees of No. /
shaft, or they would take out their
tools. 1t is generally understood that
there is an immense body of water in
the old works of this shaft on the
north side which has been abandoned
. AOA oOhAC lilly anu SOluC Suldll over.
flows of last week made the miners at
large feel that a repetition of this
might occur with more serious results,
hence the resolution passed on Monday
night. This double action took the Of,
I fcials by surprise and almost made
them hostile for awhile. But finally
. they saw the need of these things and
came to the conclusion that they would
give the So to the drivers and also put
down an escape shaft for the No. 1
mine which there is no denying is
greatly needed for the safety of all
concerned. We sincerely hope that
our next legislature will pass laws for
the betterment Of the miners condi-
tion and safety in the state of Iowa,
as the present laws on air and escapes
ments are little or no good for the
safety and health Of the miners. Trust
ing this will find space in your col
umns, we remain,
Eraternal1y, Hiteman Miners.

An Eye witness.

The quarreling of the young men
and the elimination of the fuss
created the most intense excitement
on the street. There are number of
persons who are said to have witnessed
the shooting, and many others who
saw the men quarreling earlier in the
evening. w. L. Garruthers was stand
ing in the bank door when the shoot
ing occurred. He was in the Euro
pean chop house on East Main street,
earlier in the evening, and while there
heard the boys quarreling, and also
realized that there would be serious
trouble if the would-be combatants
got together. They had apparently
got separated, as Mr.Carruthers asserts
that it was Randall's desire to get
away from his antagonists and if pos
sible avert further trouble. He warm
ed Howard and the other boys with
him that if they did not desist he
would shoot them, but apparently his
threat was taken as bluff. Mr.. Car
ruthers said he was in the European
chop house early in the evening, and
there saw Howard eating a lunch. An
acquaintance remarked to Howard that
shat fellow is out in front now" Mr..
Howard, Mr.. Carruthers says, imme-
diately left his lunch and went out.
A little later when Mr.. Carruthers left
the building the boys were quarreling
on the street, and he says that Randall
was then making an effort to get away
and warned Howard and those with
him that if they would not desist he
would shoot them. A fight was avert
ed for the time being, and the next
seen OF them was on the south side
of Main street between Green and Mar
ket streets. Here Mr.. Carruthers said
he thought they struck Randall. At
any rate he ran from his pursuers, and
Mr.. Carruthers says took his revolver
from his hip pocket and placed 1t in his
side pocket. The next he saw of them
was after he had reached the Ottumwa
National bank several minutes
later and had taken a position in the
bank door. He saw Randall, whom at
first he did not recognize, standing in
the middle of the street at the corner
of Market and Main streets. Just
then he saw Howard and his compan-
ions rush at Randall who had pulled
his revolver and warningly backed to
the pavement. Howard, he claims, at
! tackled Randall, remarking, "I'll make
Ottumwa semi-weekly courier. [volume] (Ottumwa, Iowa) 1899-1903, 1899-11-21

you eat that gun" or something of the
kind, and after he had grappled with
Randall, the latter warned him to de-
sist or he would shoot him, rather
than take punishment at the hands of
the entire crowd who accompanied
Howard and who had by this time
come.up to get into the fight. Randall
placed the gun to Howard's body and
pulled the trigger. The bullet did its
work, and Howard fell to the pave
ment, exclaiming ST guess you've done
it." Randall then warned the other
members of his pursuers not to touch
him or he would give them the same
dose. Mr.. Carruthers said there was
not an officer in sight, and that he adj
vised Randall to surrender himself to
the police, which he did.
At the Jail.
Mr.. Randall was placed in cell in
the county Jail to await the develop
ments of the affair. A Courier repor-
ter visited him last evening, to whom
Randall related his story briefly as fol-
lows: 81 was in company with Joe
Sewers, when fellow by the name of
Sam Law, who was accompanied by
Sam Howard and three other fellows
whom did not know, approached me
and remarked: I understand you've
got it in for me because I've been 60
ing with such and such girl I as
sured him that he was mistaken-that
the girl to whom he referred was moth
ing to me, and that had no grievance,
whatever, against him. He seemed in
clined to push the matter and struck
at me. The other fellows with him
took up the quarrel and pitched onto
me. ran and they followed me to the
corner, where the shooting occurred.
showed them the revolver and told
them that if they did not leave me
alone would shoot the first man that
laid a hand on me, as I did not intend
to take the punishment of the entire
crowd single handed. Howard was the
first man to attack me on the corner,
and warned him to let me alone or
I would shoot, and when he threw
his arms around my neck and attempt
ed to get me down shot him. I
warned the others then to keep their
distance or I would give them the same
treatment. I am not personally ac-
quainted with any OF them except Law,
and had never had any trouble with
him."
Mr.. Randall said he is 20 years old
and resides with his father, west of
Cummings ice house in South Ottum-
wa. He is a teamster, but since the
trouble over the wage scale among the
teamsters in this city had not been

working very much. He said he pur-
chased the revolver with which he did
the shooting at second hand store in
South Ottumwa about week ago. He
said it was not his intention to carry
the gun when he got it, except on oc-
casions when he expected to be out late
at night. He resides out in the edge
Of the city and thought it was not safe
to go home late at night without some
means of protection. He inquired
about Mr.. Towards condition, and was
sorrowful over the affair, although he
said he could not consider that the
shooting was done in any other spirit
than in self defense. He said he had
done everything within his power to
get away from the boys, but they per-
sistently followed him and apparently
were going to mob him and he shot in
self defense.
Howard's Story.
A Courier reporter also called at the
home of John Howard, the father of
the injured man, on Emma street, last
evening, to get his version of the trou-
BILE, but found him unconscious, partly
from the effects OF his wounds and
partly under the influence OF an an
esthetic, which had been administered
by the physician. Today, however, he
told practically the same story as re-
lated by Mr.. Randall, with the excep-
ton that he said the only part which
he intended taking in the affair was to
assist his partner. He said he was look
ing after the fellow that was with
Randall when the trouble began, and
that personally he had nothing against
Randall. He claims, however, that Ran
dali had previously made threats that
he would whip Law, and that he was
known to carry gun, and, in fact, had
on a previous occasion, threatened TO
shoot another man. Mr.. Howard was
too weak to talk much and the details
OF the fight could not be learned from
him. Mr.. Howard, his brother said,
was man who always fought with HIS
fists, whenever he had any trouble, and
did not think about any one else using
a gun.

Special Session OF Congress.

There is a growing belief among the
members of Congress that the President
will call Congress in extraordinary session
early in October The questions for set
tlement by the next Congress include
everything growing out of our possessions
as a result of the war, currency reform,
Nicaraguan canal, merchant marine, ETC.,
and are of such great Importance that the
President is inclined to believe that it will
be advisable for Congress to get to work
earlier than the regular session in Decem-
ber. The retirement of Reed will naturally
delay the appointment of committees.
The President has limited to several Sena
tors and members going abroad that il
would be advisable to be back early thi:
fall as the necessity for an extra session
might arise.
