JOHN EDw ARDS sHoT.
Pauetured by Bullet From Pistol In
Hands of Bud NoIen.

A shooting occurred this morn
ing about $3.50 o'clock in the audi
torium of the variety theatre on
East Main street. in which John
Edwards was shot through the
body by Bud Nolen.
Edwards received prompt medi-
cal attention and we are informed
that the wound is not necessarily
fatal. The-hullet entered near the
lower ribs and passed clear through
the body coming out close to the
spine.
Bud Nolen very quietly surrend-
cred and was placed in jail
There are two stories regarding
the affair and we give them as
told.
Mr.. Carter. in whose place the
shooting occurred. said there had
been no trouble of any kind at his
place all night and at this parti-
cular time he was in the front end
of the room; he heard three shots,
but no difficulty. One shot took
effect in Edwards body. From
witnesses present he was informed
that when Nolen entered the room,
Edwards remarked, II have moth
ing about me, and if you shoot it
will simply be murder" Mr..
Carter further said he was inform
ed that the two had some former
trouble.
In conversation at the Jail with
Nolen, he denied stoutly that Ed
wards and himself had ever had
any previous trouble, and said
they were, he thought. the best of
friends. On entering the place,
few moments previous to the
shooting. in company with Will
Cole, Nolen says Edwards ap-
preached Cole and asked him If he
had his id gun with him. Cole
replied that he didn't know, when
Edwards said, "d-m you; I've a
notion to kill you right now."
Here, Nolen says, he interfered,
and said not to do that as they
were all friends. At this iuncture
Edwards turned to NOlen and said,
6-m You I'll just kill you,"
throwing his hand to bis hip
pocket, at the same instant.
Nolen caught Edwards Icy one arm.
drew his gun and fired with the
above result.
Edwards was removed on litter
to Mrs. Pirtle7s boarding house
and suffered a good deal there
from.>
We regret being unable to Inter
view Edwards. bat with others was
denied t.i- yslvilese, Tie physician
giving INSTRUCTIONS tn admit no
.ene, as it was Worrying the pa
tient very much.
We do NOT advance either OF the
ss5ove statements as correct one,
bat give them as being tos@1.
Edwards had been drinking
seme, while NoleR was reported
duly sooer. The latter deplores
very much the deed but said he
felt that his quick action. was all
that saved his own life.
Edwards is under indictment
now for the killing of D,ck Me-
Swain at Durwood over a year ago.
He was also on the scene at the
killing OF Clay Stinaett at Fox
last summer
The matter will probably GO be-
fore the grand jury at once for IN
yestigatlon.
We learned this afternoon that
Edwards was quite cheerful and
expressed himself that ne would
live over this affair.

CLEW TO EXPRESS ROBBERY.

Cheyenne, Wyo., Dec. 1.-THE Off
cials engaged in hunting out the Grim
inal who robbed the Pacific express in
this city about one week ago. have at
last succeeded in obtaining a definite
clew.
A party has been found who saw a
man leaving the north door of the ex-
press Office at about 1913 5 Saturday
night, the very time when the robbery
was committed. He had a package I'M
der his coat, went around and passed
under the depot archway and boarded
the train, No. 101, going west.
An accurate description of the man
has been furnished, and the party was
known to nave left the train on its ar
rival at Laramie.
Superintendent Patterson sent a spe-
cial agent yesterday to the west to
work up the case. This is really The
first cast obtained. and seems to set
tie the point that the robber was o a
Cheyenne man.
The officials are almost positive they
know the man, and that he will be
caught.
