Last Saturday evening, little after
8 O'Clock, the city was shocked by the
report that Tom Tyler had shot and
killed Ira Vess. People in various parts
of the city heard three shots, but they
paid little attention to it. as Saturday
was Republican primary day, and quite
n spirited contest was carried on all day.
So it was generally supposed that the
shots were fired by some of the "boys'
to celebrate victory they may have
won over The "other crowd" But the
news spread like wild-iirc. and soon the
streets were full ofexcited people trying
to find out all they could about the
shooting. Knots of excited men and
boys were seen here and there, and now
and then some one would say. Get a
ropc!" Hang him." Some of Vess
friends secured guns, and declared they
would shoot him on sight.
But. after the shooting. TYLER walked
as hurredly as he could toward home,
warning those he met not to touch him.
He carried his revolver Ia 3S-caliber) in
his hand. 1t seems that everybody gave
him plenty of room. He went home.
and had removed his shoes and was pre-
pairing for bed when captured by Sheriff
Wycoff, assisted by Sherm Hannum.
Tyler undertook to argue the case with
the Sheriff. bur Wycoff told him he had
no time to argue; that if he didn't hurry
his clothes on and get away from the
house, tine mob would get him. Tom
made no further effort at argument, but
got his clothes on, and Sheriff Wycotf
took him to the east outskii is OF the
city. In the meantime, Sherm Hannum
had gone after livery rig, and he drove
ia the place that had previously been
agr ed upon. Here, they got into the
buggy and started for Richmond, where
they boarded night freight train and
went to Ottawa. This move was made
for Tyler's safety, as mob was at the
Santa Fe depot, waiting for the same
train which the Sheriff and his prisoner
boarded at Richmond.
Vess received three shots-one in the
bowels, one in the lett shoulder and one
in the mouth. He fell to the sidewalk,
