SHOT In FOOT
BUT VICTIM DIES FROM WOUND
RECEIVED ON PICNIC
Jesse liephart Picks Up Umbrella
And Accidentally Discharges
Rifle that Ends HIS Life :.
Macy's Hard Ride

Coroner Macy returned Tuesday
evening from the Pawnee Buttes
country where he went to investigate
the accidental shooting OF Jesse
Leiphart. The accident occurred
while a party of settlers were out on
a picnic on the Fourth of July. There
were several of them in a wagon,
Liephart occupying the rear seat.
While out on the plains brisk
shower came up and Leiphart reach
ed under the seat for big umbrella.
In some way this caught in rifle
that was also lying on the bottom
of the wagon and discharged the
weapon. The bullet went through
the grub box and shattered the
bone of one of Liephart's legs.
The nearest physician was at Ster-
ling about 40 miles away and he did
not reach the wounded man for full
ly day The shock to the nerves OF
the man. who was nearly 10 years Of
age, was too great for him to recover,
and he died some time sunday.
Mr. Macy. and AL Hilton, of Grow
er, who was deputized to look after
the case for Sheriff Florance had a
hard time of getting to the place In
the automobile. They broke down
three times, and spent one whole
night on the open plain, suffering in
tensely with the cold, as they had
nothing with which to build fire.
and had nothing to eat for many
hours previous.
Liephart Is said to be the same old
man that was sent to the penitentiary
from here last fall convicted of as
sisting a gang to steal several pieces
of farm implements near Fort Lup-
ton The old man was pardoned, be-
cause it was found that he had simp-
ly been hired to haul the stuff for
others.
