when they broke into the house after
the battle.
The posse drove to the Gross farm
in two automobiles from Benton Har-

Gross brothers had rushed from the
house and taken positions with their
guns near the front fence. After
about fifteen shots had been fired at
the officers, who were replying with
rifles and shotguns, August left his
cover and ran for the house. Fred
was wounded through the leg and

SHOT BY MEDITERRANEAN.
New York Dentist Wounded by the
Widow of Man He Killed.

Northport, N. Y, July 15.-Dr.
James Weddell Simpson, a dentist of
New York, was shot and perhaps ia
tally wounded by his mother-in-law,
Mrs. Bradley T. Horner. The tragedy
took place only a few feet from the
spot where a little more than two
years ago DR.. Simpson shot and killed
his father-in-law.
DR.. Simpsons wife, from whom he
has been estranged for many months,
was near when the shot vas fired, but
she did not witness the shooting.
Upon learning that it was her hus-
band who had been wounded she re-
fused to go near him and DR.. Simp-
son had to crawl to a house 200 feet
away to have his wound dressed.
Later Mrs. Horner was arrested and
held in $4,000 bail, while DR.. Simpson,
with the assistance of two friends,
made his way to Roosevelt hospital in
New York. The bullet lodged in his
liver and an immediate operation was
performed to extract the bullet. The
doctors said that DR.. Simpson had
only a small chance of recovery.
Mrs. Horner does not deny that she
did the shooting, but she claims justi-
fcation. Through her lawyer, Row.
land Miles, she said that DR.. Simpson
had several times called at the house
and that his visits were unwelcome.
When he came, she says, she ordered
him away and when he refused to go
she took up a revolver and shot at
