Killing Of

FULL PARTICULARS OF THE AZ.
FAIR WHICH COST CITIZEN
OF RATION HIS LIFE.

The Ration Gazette Of Thursday
contains the following account OF the
affair in which Walter Hartley was ia
tally wounded, mentioned In the Optic
yesterday:
Last night about 9:15 o'clock, Wal
ter Hartley, known about town as
Red" became involved In a contro-
yersy with a young man by the name
of Frank Sanders. in the wine o of
the Home Ranch saloon. the trouble
apparently being the renewal OF a
quarrel of earlier date. 1t appears
that Hartley, who Is said to have been
deep under the influence OF liquor,
threw his gun into Sanders face or
dering him to throw UP his hands.
Sanders was then marched into the
barroom, where Red relieved him
of his gun, after which he backed out
the rear door. Just as he was going
out, Deputy Sheriff Il. X. Wells

and being informed Of the occurance,
started at once in pursuit Of Hartley.
It seems that Sheriff Marion Lit
trell had been looking for Hartley on
account Of some minor offense and
had gone into Buena Vista TO look for
him, but failing in his quest, had
started to return when he met Hart
ley between the back shops and the
round-house, and took a gun from him.
Hartley handed the gun owe to the
sheriff, but still had the n remain
ing which he had taken from Frank
Sanders. When Littrell dropped his
hands In the belief that Hartley was
disarmed, the latter drew his remain.

from Hartley, put up his hands and
was disarmed at once.
At this point Under.Sheriff Young
and Deputy Sheriff Wells arrived on
the scene, to be met by Hartley, who
held a pistol in either hand and com
manded them to come no further. Of
ficer Young drew his gun and com,
manded Red to surrender. while
Wells reached over Young's shoulder
and knocked the barrel of Hartley's
pistol up just In the nick of time. per-
haps, to save Officer Young's life. IS
the gun was discharged, the powder
burning Young's face. At the crack
OF the pistol a general fusilade fol-
lowed, when Hartley started to run.
He was lost for a few moments In the
darkness, and when discovered by Of
ficer Wells was in the railroad yards,
sitting upright with q pistol In either
hand. Wells commanded him to sur
render or he would kill him. when
Red exclaimed Don't shoot any
more; I'm full Of lead now He then
surrendered his weapons to Officer
Wells.
Examination at DR.. Shulers Office
disclosed the fact that Hartley had
been shot through the abdomen, and
it Is believed his injury will prove ia
tai.

by wrong doing, the results Of which
always bring sorrow to the innocent.

who breaches beyond bis usual time
gets many hints that he Is talking too
long from the conduct of his hearers.
When a preacher sees his usually wake

members of the congregation more than

that he has passed his usual limit.
Women and children are bad guess

A New Graft.
"a new graft has been discovered
at Sedalia," says one or the papers
at that place. Every night for some
time past the mems waiting room at
the Missouri Pacific system has been
crowded with men sleeping in the
seats. When asked their business
there by the station attendants they
invariably r%esurrected tickets to some
nearby town and said they were wait
ing for trains. A few days ago about
fifty Of these regular boarders applied
at the ticket Office to have the tickets
redeemed. The agent then got next
to the fact that the tickets were pur-
chased for the sole purpose Of bunk
ing in a warm room. The graft will
probably be stopped and the g~rafters
