4 BAD INDIAN
GETS SHOT WITH
BOOZE and GUN
Defes the KimbalI Marshal and
Gets a Charge That Inn
proves His Conduct.

Kimball, S. d. April 1S.-Joe Riley, a
half-breed Indian from the Grow Creek
agency, was shot by City Marshal j. >.
Stewart, of this place. because he re-
fused to hold up his hands When. Or
dered to do so n submit to arrest.
The shooting was o n with a ham
merless shot gun loaded with BIB shot.
The half-breed now lies at the Cathollc
parsonage in a pretty badly democrat
lied condition, but will probably re
cover. The victim of the marshals
gun was running amuck about town on
a saddle horse, having come to town
during the day with another h~alf-breed,
who tried in vain to induce him to
start for Grow Creek after nightfall.
Riley had in the meantime obtained
possession of some booze and was as
difficult to handle as a flea. The mar
shall claims that the Indian made
threats to kill him. After arming him
self with the shotgun. obtained at a
hardware store, he finally met up with
the half-breed, who was mounted, and
ordered him to threw up his hands. In
stead of obeying orders he wheeled his
cayuse, dug the spurs into him and
made his escape, but not until the Off
Ger had cut loose one barrel of his gun.
That was the last seen of him until
this morning, when he was found yin
in a pasture about a mile from town
by two men at work on the race track.
An examination showed that the charge
of heavy shot had taken effect to the
umb of 20 or more in the small Of
the Indians back and buttocks. A
heavy al gun was found on him.. Had
the hammerless safety catch not been
on when'the marshal first pulled on his
man it is likely that he would nave had
a dead indian on his hands.
