on Market street at an early hour Sun
day morning as a result of which
Charles Windsor occupies a cot at
the city hospital with bullet in his
thigh, and Dan Smith who resides on
Park street occupies cell at the coun-
ty jail charged with shooting with in
tent to murder.
Both the men are well known in Ke-
nosha and the shooting was the cause
of a profound sensation on Sunday. It
is not thought that the injuries of
Windsor will prove very serious but
his escape from instant death was a
narrow one.
Both of the men had been attending
a dance in the neig hborhood of the
place where the shooting occurred and
it is claimed that the attentions shown
by young Windsor to Miss Sena Ien-
sen, friend of hisgassailant were the
cause of the shooting. Along about
midnight the men FLASHED for the first
time and Smith accused Windsor of
attempting to get into the good graces
of Miss Jensen, whom he had escorted
to the dance. Windsor admitted that
he had shown the girl attentions and
intimated that hesintended to continue
as long as he desired The men began
to quarrel and the managers of the
dance told them that they must either
stop their quarrelingsor leave the hall.
Windsor did not seem to be looking for
fight but he insisted that he was
ready to defend himself if there was
to be any trouble.
Finally the men decided to go down
on the street and have the matter out.
They went down on Market street just
West of the Opera House, and large
crowd from the dance who had heard
of the trouble between the men fol-
lowed them and formed ring for the
contest. In minute the men clashed
and for short time they fought bit
ter contest. The on1ookers state that
the fight was in Windsor's favor, and
desiring to stop the encounter friends
of the men and Police Officer Leik
rushed into the streetand tore the men
apart. Windsor had started to return
to the hall when Smith suddenly drew
a revolver from hisypocket and before
anyone could stop him he fired at his
antagonist.
Only one shot was fired and Wind
sor fell to the sidewalk his thigh
pierced by the bullet. Confusion
reigned and the men who had watched
the comedy rushed Sin to.prevent it
turning into greater tragedy.
Windsor was picked up by tender
hands and taken to the city hospital
and Officer Aeik at once arrested Smith
on a charge of shooting with intent to
murder and took him to the county
jail. The tragedy put an end to the
dance and it was at first reported that
| Windsor had been mortally wounded.
In the morning the Jensen girl
called at the Jail and spent some time
with Smith but declined to make any
statement in regard to the trouble
which had led up to the shooting.
Smith was also silent.
Windsor, at the hospital, was under
the care of physicians and great deal
of trouble was experienced in search
| ing for the bullet.
Smith was arraigned before Justice
Sturges this morning on charge of
shooting with intent to kill. The case
was continued for ten days and Smith
was held ia bonds of thousand dol
lars, to assure his appearance at that
time.
Louis Jensen gave bail of 81, 900 in
cash and Smith was released.
