| Allison, Nov 27.--The shooting OF
James Deere by Night Marshal Rufus
| Cooper, at this place some time ago
and the death of Deere a few mo-
| ments thereafter, has caused a great
| deal Of comment, and quite number
of articles have appeared in various
| newspapers, purporting to give in de-
| tail the facts in relation to the af-
fray, and on account of the wide vari-
ance of said articles your correspond
ent desires, after having looked into
the matter quite thoroughly, to give a
fair and impartial statement and OUT
line of the circumstances in connec-
ton with said tragedy. A great deal
of evidence developed at the prelimi-
nary hearing which was not until that
time brought to light, which touches
on material points ir connection with
the case.
The shooting Of James Deere oc-
Cured on the evening of November s
at about 9 o'clock. Deere had been in
the Roy Hamilton barber shop most Of
the evening, and al number of wit
nesses testified that he was intoXicat-
ed and had been creating quite a little
disturbance Marshal Cooper came
down town shortly after supper, stop
ped in the Webster livery barn. and
shortly thereafter came up the street
and stopped in the barber shop and
pool room. He stated it was his Gus
tom so to do, and would generally
look in to see more particularly who
might be in town, ard with whom he
might possibly have to deal later in the
evening, In his official capacity. He
followed this routine on the evening OF
the Sth, and saw Deere in the pool
room and noticed his condition, and
some of the bystanders spoke to him in
regard to it, and he therefore thought
best to see Mayor Shepard and ascer-
tain from him what he had best do.
He then went to the mayors office,
and Mr.. Shepard told him if Deere
created any disturbance to take him
into custody and bring him before him
(Shepard) in the morning when he was
sobered off, and he would receive his
sentence. Mr.. Cooper then returned
to the barber shop and noticed Deere
in chair at the rear of the pool room
gesticulating with his hands. but
making no noise. Shortly thereafter
these in the pool room saw Deere de-
part by the back way. presumably go
ing into the coal shed at the rear OF
the building. The proprietor and one
or two others went to see if he was
about the building, but could not find
him.

left by the back way. Cooper left by
