OF SERIOUS SHOOTING AFFAIR.
AssAlLED BY A. x. ROBINSON
AssAlLEo BY A. x. ROBINSON
FATHER WENT FORTH TO AvENoE
DAUGHTERS HONOR.
SOUGHT YOUNG MAN AT HOME
Met Him at the Gate and Opened Fire,
Young Man Ran and the Charge
Took Effect in His Back and Legs
Robinson Gave Himself Up.

Bassett, Neb., May 1i.-Special to
The News: serious shooting af-
fair, in which young man named
Warner Sutherland was shot by A. X.
Robinson occurred near Carnes last
night. Carnes is thirteen miles east
of here. Reports of the affair are that
the young man was shot with a gun
loaded with No. 4 shot. The shot
took effect in the young mans back
and down his legs
The affair has been reported by
phone from Carnes as follows:
neighbor by the name Of VIM.
Buckley had had considerable trouble
with Mr.. Sutherland and it had devel-
oped into regular feud. Many
threats of violence had been made.
Mr.. Buckley is a son-in-law of A. X.
Robinson. Until recently Mr.. Robin
sons family and Mr.. Sutherland
We're on good terms, but lately on ac-
count of the trouble between his SON
in-aw and this Warner Sutherland,
they were not so intimate with each
other. Now it is reported that daugh-
ter of Mr.. Robinson had informed her
parents that Warner Sutherland had
made attempts to assault her, but had
not succeeded. This so maddened the
father that he took his shot gun and
went to Mr. Bickleys, asking him to
accompany him to hunt up Sutherland
and kill him. They mounted their
horses and together rode over to the
Sutherland ranch, where they found
him.
Mir. Sutherland says he did not sus
pect anything at the time and went tC
the gate, where Mr.. Robinson pulled
down on him with his shot gun. When
he saw what was up Sutherland at
tempted to get back to the house and
as he turned to run Robinson shot
him in the back. He fell, but crawled
toward the house, and while doing
that Buckley shot at him two or three
times with rifle, but none of these
shots took effect.
Mr.. Robinson at once gave himself
up and his side of the affair is not
fully out at this writing. Mr.. Robin
son is counted a good citizen and or
the other hand Sutherland is reported
to have rather bad reputation.
Dr. Root from Bassett and DR.
White of Springview were at once
called, and found Sutherlands back
and the back of his legs literally pep
pered with No. shot, a great many
of which were removed. DR.. Root left
him resting quite easy and he thinks
he has favorable chances for recovery
1t is not known at this time whether
Mr.. Buckley is under arrest or not
Mr.. Robinson does not seem to be
worrying over the affair unless it is
because he did not finish his man.

No LAMPHERE CONFESSION
LAPoRTE OFFICIALS DENY PRle.
oNER HAS Barred PLOT.
MINISTER'S STORY is DOUBTED
Evidence Said to Have Been Discov.
cred That Mrs. Guinness Was Aided
by Accomplish in Lurlne Victims
to Her Farm.

Laporte, Ind, May 14.-Denials by
Laporte officials that the Rev. Dr. L.
A, Schell had revealed to them the
substance of his conversations with
Lamphere and the discovery of evil
denCe that Mrs. Bella Guinness was
aided by an accomplice in Turing her
victims to the farm were the chief
developments in the case. The denials
came from DR.. c. s. Mack, coroner;
A. F. Shutter, sheriff, and r. M.
Smith, prosecuting attorney. In addi-
ton, H. w. Worden, attorney for the
prisoner, issued formal statement
that he had given his client strict in
functions not to discuss the charges
against him, and concluding:
THE fact is that Lamphere has
never made a confession to any one
and never will. He has nothing to
confess"
Discussion of the reported statement
which DR.. Schell was said to have
made in Baltimore was general about
the town. The ministers friends were
loud In their protestations that he
could not have said that Lamphere
had confessed to the charges against
the prisoner, and the officials con
cerned were prompt in asserting that
such a statement had never been
made to them,
81 never received any intimaton
from DR.. Schell regarding the CONVEX
sations which he held with Lam
phere," said Sheriff Shutter. Lam
phere never asked that minister be
sent to his CELL The day after he was
arrested he asked for a bible and I
got 1t for him. I thought from the
mans general attitude that he might
be In mood to talk and that he was
more likely to converse with a min
lister than with sheriff, 80 I asked
DR.. Schell to come to see him. But
Lamphere, while in his cell, never
discussed affairs at the Guinness farm"
