COLORADO SPRINGS. Feb. 90
Otto Fehringer, millionaire druggist
of Colorado Springs, was shot and
fatally wounded last night by an un-
known man with whom he was riding.
The shooting occurred on the prairie
three miles northeast of Colorado
Springs, and In the absence OF any
thing but Fehrinsers story the police
are working on the theory that the
motive was robbery. There are many
mysterious features about the affair.
Fehringer accompanied the stranger
on drive presumably TO sell the
mans uncle barrel of whiskey. The
stranger represented to Fehringer
that his uncle lived at Garden Ranch,
and desired to make big purchase.
Although Fehringer had never seen
nor heard of the stranger before. he
started out with him on the lonely
ride without even knowing his name.
Fehringer had about 5000 In cash and
checks, not an unusual amount for
him to carry, and wore about $1,000 in
diamonds and jewelry. After being
shot while sitting beside the man in
the buggy, Fehringer grappled with
him, according to his story, and in the
scuifle the two men fell from the rig.
Then the stranger beat Fehringer
Vpr the head with the butt end of the
un and left him for dead Fehringer
feigned death, remaining motionless,
he claims. until the man re-entered
the buggy and drove away, when Feb
ringer almost crawled to the power
plant of the Colorado Springs Elec-
trio company, a short distance away,
| and gave the alarm. No arrests up to
noon today.
