What came very near being fatal
ity occurred last Friday on north
Jefferson avenue in front of DR.. Nc
Dowell's house. The twelve year old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. G. w. Moore,
who live north of the Missouri Pacific
stock yards, was riding a horse at a
rapid gait north on the avenue when
the animal took notion To begin
bucking. The boy was pitched from
the saddle and his foot caught in the
stirrup. Had the animal run away
the boy would doubtless have been
certainly killed. The beast preferred
to stand and kick, undoubtedly y fright
ened by the body hanging at its side. .
He whired and kicked repe atedly
until witnesses hurried outand caught
and held him. Several of the blows
struck the boy, bruising his body and
one blow cutting his face. He was
freed from his perilous position and
carried into DR.. McDowell's house
where he and DR.. Fulton made a care
full examination of his injuries. The
boy is seriously hurt, but escaped
without any broken bones, and thanks
to mis- youth and vigorwill undoubted-
ly quick ly recover.

THE BOYS STORY TO THE CORONER

THE BOYS STORY TO THE CORONER
In order to clear up the mystery OF
how Alton Smith came to his death
and to determine just how much blame,
II any, attaches to his companions
Coroner f. ID. Teas selected jury oil
six men and an inquest was held in the
district court room at2 o'clock next
afternoon. County Attorney Goshorn
was present and careful questioning
of the three boys who were with the
Smith boy when he was shot was in
sisted upon,
At the appointed hour the jury met
in the court room. The members were
j. w. Delaplain, r. r. Martin. Chas.
Arnold, w. f. Alyea, r. r. Anderson
and G. A, Japhet y stenographer,
: 7 s Flora Denney, was secured
cn4 the three boys with young Smith,
and DR.. Hyatt were examined.
"Ted" McClelland was the first one
on the stand. He told straight story,
although evidently nervous and some
what frightened. He said the four
boys were hunting in the morning and
had been on the river. Returning
they crossed north Of town. Ina field
of tall weeds young Smith tossed his
handkerchief into the air and told the
boys to shoot at it. McClelland and
Williams both had guns, but the lat
ter's gun was empty He snapped it
at the handkerchief and when it fell on
the ground young McClelland pointed
his gun at it as if to shoot. Smith
ran in front of him, grabbed. the gun
and pulled it around. The hammer
caught on McClelland' clothes or on
the weeds and thegun went Off.
The man who drove up and brought
the wounded boy to town lives east OF
Colony.
The other boys corroborated the
story told by young McClelland and
the verdict Of the jury was that young
Smith came to his death by the acci.
dental discharge of gun in the hands
of young McClelland.
The funeral was held at two
o'clock Sunday from the house,
Rev. John Maclean officiating. A
large number of the boy friends of the
deceased attended. The remains were

lins Emery Under Arrest.

After Investigating the shooting
affray the other night in which Henry
Franklin received two wounds from a
gun in the hands of Ham Emery, the
authorities decided that Gus Emery, a
brother of the man who shot, was in
part responsible for the affair. He it
was who took sides in the quarrel be-
tween the two other men and started
active hostilities by striking Franklin.
Deputy Sheriff Palstring went to the
Emery home last evening and told
Emery that he was wanted. The me-
gro was abusive and swore he
wouldn't go and that Palstring could
not take him. Duff isn't small and
he told Gus he would take him either
in one hunk or in remnants and stuck
a gun in his face. Gus is now in

NEGRO WAS SHOT TWICE .
Ham Emery Fired Two Shots into
Henry Franklin During a Quarrel
Shots ar not Fatal.

Under the trees at the corner OF
East street and Jefferson avenue
last Thursday night Ham Emery
shot Henry Franklin twice and then
fled. One shot entered Franklin's left
leg and the other passed through his
left arm and is buried in the flesh
back of his left fifth rib. Both parties
are colored.
The colored people were out in force
that NIGHT attending social and in
stallation Of officers in the colored
odd Fellows lodge which held its meet
ing in Beebe hall. Franklin and
Emery quarreled about a girl, Frank
lin declaring that Emery made slight.
ing remarks about her and that he,
Franklin, stood up for her. Then he
says Emery sent for his brother and
and the brother struck him. Franklin
started to chastise the brother when
Ham Emery drew gun and shot
twice. The first shot struck Franklin
in the left leg, burying itself in the
flesh, The second passed through his
left arm and struck his body over the
iiith rib on the left side. glancing
around his body and ranging down
ward and backward. The ball lodged
in the muscle of the back. Had it
turned forward it might have proved
| fatal.
After the shooting Emery turned
and ran east as far as Buckeye streets
and then turned north, probably head
! ing for home. Franklin walked down
to the foot of the stairs leading up to
Beebe hall and lay down in the door
way. Friends secured a buggy and
took him to his home at sos south
Cottonwood and Drs. Mcdowell and
Cofiman were summoned and dressed
his injuries. Neither is believed to be
serious and next morningFranklin de-
clared he felt first rate.
The police searched for Emery, GO
ing to his father's house in the north
east part OF town. The old man met
them and assisted them in searching
the premises but assured them the boy
was not there. he declared that Ham
was always getting in trouble,
although but young man, and rather
hoped the police,would find and him and
punish him. Ham Emery has figured
in criminal courts in this city ever
since he came here two years ago from
Garnett, and for small darkey man
ages to do whole lot of devil nent.
Franklin is described by his asso-
ciates as a big negro who is foud of
bullying his fellows and of rather "a
quarrelsome disposition. He had
trouble out at the cement plant where
he works, but seems to have generally
madehis bluff good, for hehas not been
arrested nearly as often as Emery.
/ Franklin came here with his wife from
Winfield and works at the cement
plant.
The stories told by the colored peo-
pie who knew of the trouble between
the two men differ widely Some de-
lare that Franklin threatened to get
! is gun and shoot and that Emery
acted in self-defense. Others say Eta
cry is natural born killer and that
he is to blame.
