a BARTON COUNTY MURDER.
Jealousy Caused a Farmland to
Shoot A Railbach.


Shoot a. Railbach.
Great Bend, kan, June ga. Rail
bach, 80 years old. was shot and killed
Sunday at the home Of Mrs. Horner,
twelve miles south of this city. by Lew
Wright, a farmland. Jealousy was the
cause. Wright who also is about 80
for the last three years, and was at one
time employed on the Horner farm, and
became infatuated with Mrs. HOrner.
Railbach spent most of his time at a
farm in Arkansas, coming here each
year to look after his wheat crop and
had board and room at Mrs Horner's S.
whose farm joined his. His father was
there with him When Railbach left the
place to attend to his stock, Wright.who
had evidently been lying in waitsprang
from his place of c0ncealment and fired
five shots at him. two taking effect. The
injured man died before medical aid
could reach HIM
The aged father saw the deed com
mitted. but was powerless to prevent IT.
After firing the shots Wright walked to
the McGinty farm, where he told Ed
McGinty that he had killed Railbach
and was going to st. John to give him
self up. The last report Of him was
a wheat field further south and was not
going toward St John at that time. The
murdered man was well known and
liked in the community and as the
crime became generally known many
threats We're expressed against the muir
derar. but it is not thought that a
Ivnching viii occur. Mrs Horner is a
woman of excellent reputation and is a
daughter Of NJ Kimbler of this city.
