l WENDENOALE AFFAIR

Wendendale, May 9.-(Special Cor respondence of The RepublicanD-At two o'clock Saturday morning Jesus Pindo, a Mexican, stabbed Frank Lan- ger. an American, one gash across the ribs on the right side and the other across the throat. The former cut is apparently superficial though pr. Cartmen was out of town when the stabbing occurred. and by the time he reached the patient a clot had formed in the rib wound which is also super ficial except where the knife was plunged into the tissues. Luckily none of the principal arteries or veins were severed or the trachea cut No motive is known for the crime. but the per pertrator, Pindo. had been drinking heavily and was heard to remark dur ing the evening. that he would get a man before morning" Langer at tempted to take the Mexican home but Pindo heard the musicians who had returned from playing at dance, and were out serenading MT. and Mrs. Geo. Klotzbach. and was determined to go and join them, when Langer tried to hi'0uelhb iilNps ilt ulNN nio hililt anu stabbed him. A warrant was at once issued for the MeXiean's arrest but he was spirited away by his friends and was not located until Sunday morning. The deputy sheriff. who at once went in search of him. followed a false clew to Bouse, returning Saturday evening. He was found in one of the Mexican houses here in town Sunday morning by H. K. Bunker who took his trusty rifle and did little private searching on his own account. MT. Bunker de- serves and is receiving the thanks of the community. Last accounts showed Mir Langer to be resting easily. He will probably recover. Pindo's hearing comes off today in the justice court where he will probably be bound over to the grand jury. sss
