Any information as to his whereabouts
will be appreciated by the Knockers

NOVEMBER BLIZZARD.

Last Saturday We had a regular old
fashioned lizard and the worst
storm for November in years. The
temperature dropped pretty low and
freezing weather has been on tap
ever since. We had more snow Tues
day night and evidently the winter
is here to stay. Saturdays storm was
general and farther East took the
form OF a heavy rain and windstorm,
which did millions OF dollars worth
of damage through Wisconsin and H.
linois.

husband, but TIT he guessed he
hadn't hurt him very much.
Smith was found in the field and
taken home and his wounds dressed.
About fifteen OF the shot from the
first shot had lodged in his scalp,
but the wound Is not a bad one and
he will recover nicely.
Raymond is a young fellow, about
years old, and apparently
is bright and perfectly rational. His
only explanation is that he don't be-
lieve that he shot Smith, as he says
that he never intended to, and further
than this he will not talk.

FARMER SHOT
BY HIRED man
FRED RAYMOND TRIES TO MURD-
Err JOHN l.. SMITH OF AR
GO TOWNSHIP
RAYMOND now II THE COUNTY JAIL
Smith Receives a BAD Scalp Wound,
but Luckily Escapes with His Life
Shotgun Is the Weapon

Yesterday morning Fred Raymond.
a hired man employed by John l..
Smith, a farmer living in Argo town
ship, north of here in this county, dc.
liberately attempted to murder his
employer. That he was not success
full vas not his fault, as he emptied
a double barrel shotgun at close range
at Smith, who fortunately received
only a bad scapl wound. Sheriff Hal
vorson was telephoned for and went
out and brought Raymond to this city
and he is now lodged in the county
Jail.
The affair was a most peculiar one
and it looks as though Raymond
must have been temporarily insane,
as there was very little provocation
for the deed. The men had q few
words at the breakfast table, but the
quarrel was not serious and Smith
thought nothing Of it. After break
fast the hired man hitched up q team
and started for the field to haul corn
stalks, After going a short distance
he came back and apologized to Smith
for the affair at the breakfast table
and requested the loan OF the farmers
shotgun, as he said that he wanted
to kill some prairie chickens. Smith
tn1l h;rn h. anY1d folyA The Drn k,x
advised him not to shoot chickens
as it was against the law.
When Smith had completed his
chores he hitched up a team and
followed his hired man to the field.
AS he climbed from the wagon Ray
mond pointed the shotgun at him and
said: Now, 1 have got you! I am
going to kill you" At first Smith
thought the man was joking, bu. as
Raymond raised the gun to his Shout
der he dropped down and the charge
just grazed the top of his head. Smith
ran around on the opposite side of
the wagon and as he did so the team
became frightened and started to run,
dragging him along and this is un-
doubtedly all that saved his life.
Smith and the team were at { con-
siderable distance before Raymond
could get a good view of his employ
err to shoot again and when he did
the charge just passed through
Smiths clothing. Smith dropped to
the ground after the team had ran
some distance and Raymond put two
more shells in the gun and started
after him. In the meantime, how
ever, Smiths brother CANE along the
road and noting the runaway team
he came over to Raymond and asked
the reason for the trouble. Raymond
replied that the gun he had was no
good and had gone off Unexpectedly
and frightened the team. He was ad-
vised that the best thing to do was
to throw it away, which he did. Ray
mond then went on to the house and
told Mrs. Smith that he had shot her
