JOHNSON IS SHOT
 BY OSCAR LINN

Oscar Linn, one of the crowd of Linn boys which has become somewhat famous in Jefferson county through the many af- fairs in which they have been implicated in recent years, shot and perhaps fatal ly wounded MT. Johnson at Sayre Fri day night. MT. Johnson is the keeper of a livery stable at Littleton. He Is shot just under the heart, and his condition is very uncertain. The cause of the shoot ing could not be ascertained from the sheriffs office.
 From some cause however. Linn and Johnson became involved in a difficulty at Sayre, and the latter was shot. Linn made his escape from the crowd at Sayre and went to his home nearby. Deputy Sheriff Dave Kennybrook, stationed at Banner, upon being informed of the trouble, went immediately to Linns home and found him just sitting down to the supper table, Linn 1t seems asked Deputy Kennybrook to be allowe dto finish and the deputy granted the request.
 It seems that Linn sat down to the table and that his wife, taking in the situation, incidentally got between the deputy and her husband. Linn was prepared for the occasion, and when the woman came be- tween him and the deputy he tilted his chair back from the table and ran out of the house. Deputy Kennybrook did not shoot for fear of hitting the woman.
 When the deputy reached the front door of the house Linn had disappeared. A posse was immediately formed and Linn was traced over into Walker county as far as Dora. Here he was lost and noth- ing further has been heard of him.
