KILLING NEAR LONE GROVE.
Deputy Cummings Shot Jim Lever
ing Through Mistake.


This morning early Deputy Mar
shall R. M. Cummings came TO
town and surrendered himself to
the officers, stating that he had
killed man near Lone Grove about
O'Clock.
When seen by a reporter Mr..
Cummings refused to discuss the
case or make any statement con-
cerning the shooting.
However, we are able to give the
following purported facts. which
we have cleaned by telephone to-
day from Keller and Lone Grove:
This morning about 3 O'Clock
Jim Levering went to the home of
Tom Hunter about one and half
miles southeast of Keller, to see him
about building a tank. He had
started home and had proceeded
but a short distance when he was
ordered to halt and throw up his
hands, which he refused to do,
when he was fired upon from the
rear.
One bullet from a Winchester
rifle entered his back and proved
fatal, death ensuing in very few
minutes.
after the killing it developed
that Cummings was on the lookout
for a party suspected of selling
liquor and mistook the deceased
for the man he was seeking.
Jim lowering is said to hav'
lived in that community for si1
years and was we'll thought of b.
his neighbors. He was about ;,
years of age and leaves a wife ant
two or three small children t
mourn his nntimely death. Th
funeral will take place at kelle
tomorrow.
From Keller it is reported tina
John HOrnsberger was also shot q
by Cummings but was not hit
Whether this occurred before O
after the killing of lowering W
were unable to ascertain.

STRATTON MUST PAY THOUGH
THE PROCESS BE WORTHLESS

Denver Dec. 22.-In the United
States District Court yesterday ver-
diet was found In favor of the plaintiff
in the suit of the Peck Colorado Com
pany against Winfield S. Stratton for
S133.5J0 and costs. In the complaint
of plaintiff 1t is alleged that w. s.
StrattOn had become the assistant
treasurer of the Peck Colorado Com
pany AMI that thereby he came into
possession of 100000 which he refused
TO turn over to the company's treasurer
when asked to do so.
Mr.. Stratton maintained that he had
never come into possession of the $780,
600, but that the 100000 sued for was
100000 that he was to have paid into
the Peck Colorado Company as n stock
subscription TO proposed milling
scheme. He claimed that Orrin Il.
Peck had come TO him In 1896 claiming
TO own certain patents which would re-
ducc the expense of milling the ore
from the Independence mine and that
he would give Stratton the exclusive
right TO these patents in FL raso
county.
Mr.. Stratton put very large amount
of money into mill which was built
near the Independence mine and was
guaranteed by Mr. Peck TO treat not
less than 200 tons ler day OF ore and to

Omaha, Neb., Dec. 22.-The World
Herald reporters yesterday afternoon
located the house in which Eddie Cud-
ahy was held prisoner at 1904 Grover
street, -four miles southwest of the city.
Absolute evidence as to the identity of
the house was obtained and further
corroborated by Eddie Cudahy.
The house is an isolated structure
situated on n promontory command
ing full view of the surrounding coun-
try for miles about. II is n two-story
building and has the ricSety stairway
and other features described by the
boy. On the second floor was found a
new well bucket containing water,
from which the millionaire's son
quenched his thirst. About the room
We're found hundreds of cigarette
stubs and burnt matches, and n small
quantity of sugar and coffee.
Eddie Cudahy, his father and several
policemen entered the house and Ed
die Cudahy pointed out the exact spot
in the north room where he lay from
the time he was taken to the house
Tuesday evening until removed
Wednesday night. He also said he had
drunk from the oaken bucket which
stood in one of the adjoining rooms. He
also indicated the broken stair step
which he had previously referred to, ms
he slipped in going up stairs to his i'm
prisonment. Eddie Cudahy said he had
reclined on the floor until removed. He
said he was only about an hour, per-
haps, going from the point where he
was abducted to the house and about
the same time in returning to the point
where he was released and told to go
home.
Miss Maude Munshaw, who lives
with her parents at 340i Grover street,
first saw one of the occupants of the
house about ten days ago when he
came to her home and asked If she
knew whether the house that was va

Young Edward to-day stated that the
letter demanding ransom was hurled
into the yard by his abductors before
they left the neighborhood of his

18th. This has given rise to some
curious speculation, for the reason that
the letter was dated December 10Th,
that is to say, the following day,
Wednesday morning. 1t was Wednes-
ady morning that the letter was found
in the front yard. If the bandits wrote
the letter and threw II into the ward
Tuesday night they dated 1t ahead. The
theory of the Cudahy family is that
they knew the letter would not be
found until Wednesday morning and
therefore gave 1t the Wednesday date.
The letter was unsigned and the
statement made shortly after its dis
covery that 1t was signed Jack" was
an error.
