incident Leads to Numerous
Arrests.
Yesterday evening about S
O'Clock at Grow Grac Lake oc-
Cured rather lively shooting af-
fray in which two residents OF
this city assumed the principal
roles and but for the poor marks
manship exhibited the under
taker would have been undoubted-
ly called upon to perform mis-
sion today, and if all reports are
to be believed the lack of skill in
the shooting line is to be re-
GREETED.
The two principals to the affair
have resided in Missouri Valley
several years. j A Williams one
of the participants is man of a
family and has made his home
here for the past four years, the
most of which time he has been
employed at McCullough's brick
yards, while the other, q Z
Huvencamp, a young man aged
about % years, is married and has
made his home here for the past
three or four years. The causes
leading up to the scrape had their
origination several months ago
according to the story related this
morning by Mr. Williams who was
placed under arrest short time
after the shooting last night. Mr.
Williams who is the father of a
large family of girls, stated Huv-
encamp has been paying persist
ent attentions to his IA years old
daughter for several months past,
the protests of the father being
unheeded. As is usually the case
in such scrapes the real facts con-
nected with the case are rather
hard to obtain, but during con-
versatlon this morning Mr. Will
liams states stray reports have
reached him lately concerning the
two, and yesterday evening when
he saw Huvencamp making what
he deemed to be an effort to en-
tice the young girl from home, he
demonstrated with the persistent
wooer. After short converse
ton young Huvencamp left the
brick yard going towards the
bath houses at the south end of
the lake. What followed is where
the reports conflict but the state
ment made by Williams is to the
effect he followed the young man.
When Huvencanp reached the
rustic bridge across the south end
of the lake he turned to Williams
and warned him not to follow him.

small incline where he stepped
behind q tree and then opened
fire. How many shots we're fired
or who commenced to shoot first

had their revolvers in action. A
cessation in the hostilities was
soon declared when it was learned

erous things.
Both were placed under arrest,
their revolvers being taken away
from them, after which they were
placed in Jail, Huvencamp being
released from custody short
time after. This morning Will
liams was brought before Justice
French to answer to the rather
serious charge of assault with
numerous intent to which charge
the prisoner waived examination
and was bound over to the Dis.

which sureties we're soon furn.

been filed against Huvencamp.
