XII ONE OF THE RESIDENTS
TsIas Cowboys Tenorize Town
Of Eng|evaIe.

TWO Texas cowboy brothers, carry.
ing four 44-cailber revolvers and load
ed with ammunition, held Englevale
In . state of terror for hours, ending
when they departed south unmolested.
During their reign they killed Louis
Maxwell, a farmer near town, and
threatened others at the point of a
gun with instant death.
The outlaws at once were pursued
by Sheriff Cooper Of Ransom county
and four deputies.
The trouble originated in the pool
room of Gust Uam, when, following
an alteration in which Maxwell asked
the cowboys to shake dice and finally
pulled the pipe from the mouth of m
Of the cowboys, Dan Cant, the latter
pulled a gun.
A bystander tried to prevent the
shooting and grappled with Cant, but
Cant broke partially free, leveled the
weapon over his contender's shoulder
and shot MAXWELL half an inch below
the heart. Maxwell died several hours
later. He walked to the door of the
poolroom before falling.
The Cant brothers then displayed
their weapons, threatening the modest
citizenship of the town with certain
and instant death if they were inter
fered with, ran the town all night and
departed afoot early in the morning.
The last zen of them they had de-
parted over the hill south of town.
Settlers throughout the surrounding
country r 81 terrified that no def
mite information a be secured re.
garding the location of the outlaws.
The two brothers were only recent
arrivals and had been working for
q rancher, Eurven, three miles out.
On account of their silent manner and
modest ways they had not been
thought dangerous.
It is o believed they are outlaws
from Texas.

Weaver had been confined in the

Physicians recently decided he suf-

trouble, which they described as ex-

White in New York city a few years
ago.
Meantime Weaver threatened q

Sheriff John F. Haber and Deputy w.

to take the young man into custody
and the murders followed.
