Public With Marsh.

Niobrara, April Especial to The
News: In n fight on the streets OF
this city yesterday morning, a man
named Davis was shot in the leg by
Joe Marsh, and the wounded man is
now in Jail. Marsh is married, a car
peuter, living in Niobrara, and Davis
is laborer and carpenter. Before
the fight took place Davis had threat
ened to kill Marsh and burn his prop
erty.
The two men met on the street in
the morning, quarreled and fought At
the end of this encounter Davis made
threats to kill his antagonist Marsh
then went to the telephone Office to
call up the county attorney. Davis
followed Marsh to the central Office
and when he was standing in the
booth talking to the attorney, Davis
stepped up close behind and listened
to what Marsh had to say. The lady
operator told Davis to keep away from
the booth, at it was against the rules
OF the company to allow one person
to listen to what another was saying
over the long distance wire. He an.
swered that he had perfect right to
stand anywhere, that it was public
Office and he would do as he pleased.
The young lady then warned the man
in the booth and he quiet talking.
Marsh then left the Office and went
down the street, Davis following and
renewing the quarrel, when Marsh told
him to keep away or he would get
hurt. Davis made lunge at Marsh,
when the latter pulled his revolver
and shot, inflicting a flesh wound in
the upper part Of Davis leg.
The marshal shortly afterward took
Davis to Jail and called a physician,
who dressed his wound. County At
torney Bergman Of Creighton was
called and Davis will be tried some
time during today.
The sympathy in Niobrara is almost
wholly in favor Of Marsh. The man
that he wounded bears bad reputa-
ton, is an all round bully, who is con-
tinually threatening to kill some one
and burn property. He is considered q
dangerous man in the community and
Niobrara as whole will be we'll
pleased if he can be sent to the peni-
tertiary on the charge that now stands
against him.
