Releeted sutton Shoots Girl.

LeMars, Ia, April 16.-Lying uncon.
scious from the effects of three bullet
wounds inflicted by Casper Neihaus
young man twenty-three years old
the chances are against the recovery
of Miss Anna Wengler, the daughter
Of John Wengler, living nine miles
south of Remsen. Young Neihaus lies
in the county jail here awaiting the
result of his murderous assault on the
young woman, when he will be charg.
ed with the crime.
Neihaus went to the farm of Weng-
Ter and, after leaving his team in the
yard, walked out to the field where
the young woman was driving a team
on disc harrow. When he reached
the place where she was he at once
began shooting, one ball from his re-
volver taking effect in the back near
the base Of the spinal column, an
other under the right shoulder blade,
while third bruised finger.
Mr.. Wengler, who was quick to
grasp the situation, felled Neihaus
with a we'll directed blow on the head,
but not before the assailant had fired
three shots at the daughter and at
tempted to fire fourth at the father,
as one bullet was found lodged in the
barrel of the weapon.
After strapping the furious man
down, Mr.. Wengler gave the alarm
and the sheriff, who was at Remsen,
made the arrest. The authorities are
of the opinion that Neihaus is insane.
He has been driving a wagon through
the country for a creamery company,
and it is understood he had offered to
pay some attention to the young lady
and was not encouraged to continue

Boy Winged Himself Instead Of Ducks

Flandreau, s. D., April 16.-James
Hoskins, son of Ex-Sheriff Hoskins,
was shot. in the left arm while hunt
ing ducks a short distance north of
Colman. He had placed the weapon
against the wheel of his buggy and
was leaning over to get some ammuni-

when. in some unaccountable manner,
the gun was discharged. The shot
struck the biceps muscle and tore its
way up to the shoulder, barring the
bone. The wound will confine the
young man most of the summer, even
IL he escapes blood poison, which is
feared.
