Cherokee, Dec. 10.-Miss Florence
Porter, shot by Harry Hartman in this
city Saturday night, Nov. 80, is dead.
The warrant for Hartman charges MUIR
der in the first degree.
Friday night when the condition of
Miss Porter became very critical there
was talk of lynching Hartman. Officers
to prevent possible attempt to carry
out this threat, spirited the prisoner
away. He is now in Jail at LeMars.
There is little danger, however. that
any attempt would have been made to
lynch Hartman. He will be brought
back here and given preliminary hear
ing. He admits the shooting and will
likely waive examination. The grand
jury meets the first Monday in January
and will take up his case.
Hartman, who has lived most of his
"a years here, was an admirer OF Miss
Porter, a respected young woman work
ing in q hotel here. She was % years
old and the daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Louis Porter of Silver township, this
county. Hartman had been told by Miss
Porter that he must keep away, but he
continued his attempts to see her, and
since being wounded she told of many
threats he had made against her. A
week ago Saturday night he called upon
her, and after a few words she started
to run away from him. As che went
down the stairs Hartman pulled a re-
volver and shot her twice in the back.
It was thought from the first the
wounds would prove fatal. No informa-
ton was ever filed against the assail-
ant, pending developments. but the
warrant charges murder in the first de-
gree. Hartman has been known as a
town, tough and feeling against him Is
very bitter
