TERRIBLE
Awful Shooting Affair in Iowa, Re
sulting from an Attempt to Arrest
a Nan. |

Jefferson, Iowa, June 21.-One of the
worst shooting affairs ever witnessed
in this part of Iowa took place early
today. resulting from an attempt to ar
rest Horace Shipman on a peace war
rant.
For some breach of the peace last
evening a warrant was sworn out for
Shipman N placed In the hands of
Marshal John Swear|an for service.
DIR. @. H. Grimmell, SnIEman's family
physician went ahead of the marshal
to attempt to have Shtpman surrender
peaceably. Shipman agreed to the pro-
position, but when Swearden n
Deputy Sheriff Fred Kendall appeared
at the door he warned them to come
in under penalty of deatk.
Swearden ~undaunted started to pull
his revolver for the purpose of enter
ing and Shipman fired a load of shot,
striking the marshal in the lower part
of the face and killing him instantly.
DIR. Grimmell and the deputy beat a
retreat. leaving the body of the mar
shall on the porch.
Sheriff Anderson Immediately went
to the scene of the shooting, deputizing
a dozen citizens to assist him. Hun
dreds of people gathered near Ship
mans HON and for three hours watch
the battle. Five hundred shots were
poured into the large two story house,
Shipman replying from the window,
cellar way n door. The fire company
was called out and James May volun-
teered to put a hose in the cellar and
drown Shipman out. May accomplish
ed his work, but Shipman fired upon
him from the cellar causing him to re-
treat.
About Ii o'clock Shipman appeared
at a window and fifty shots were fired
at him. 1t then became quiet inside
nj Shipman's body was found on the
floor, full of bullets.
Only a high wind from a direction
that would have carried the flames to
town prevented the building from being
