lest contending that the Teller
school grant would be of no value
to the state without the water for
irrigation. So effectively was the
case presented that Secretary Fish

helm that. II the department final
ly holds that the water rights were
not a part of the original grant. he
will endorse a bill forthe congress

championed Colorado's case. con
tending that without this acreage
the school property would be OF lit

so come into possession of the

State Treasurer Kenehan and
State Auditor Leddy are vying with
each other in abuse over the class
ification of appropriations. The
facts are. that neither gentleman
has anything to do with the elassi-
fications other than to follow the
law. The law specifically stat &
where each appropriation shall be
placed and in what order. The
trouble is that both Mr.. Kenehan
and Mr.. Lcddy would like to play
politics by advancing an appropria-
tion to position out of its class.
Inasmuch as the two gentlemen be
long to different wings of Democ-
racy. each is preventing the other

A FATAL SHOT:
Husband Of Russell County Lady
Receives a Fatal Wound.
VICTIM LIVED But A FEW HOURS.

Grant Myers, living East of Green
wood, Ind, died at St. Vincent's Hos.
pital Tuesday afternoon from blood
poisoning, following gunshot wound in
the arm inflicted by his brother-in-law
Robert l.. Shirley, Sunday morning.
Shirley is in Jail at Franklin on the
charge of murder.
Shirley and Myers were brothers-in
law, the former having married the
sister of his victim several years ago.
Although living opposite each other on
their respective farms near Greenwood
for many years, there has long been
bitter feeling between the two men.
The elimination started Friday night
at special meeting of the Masonic
Lodge at Greenwood, given in honor of
a former member who had arrived from
a Western city for short visit.
Myers belonged to the order at
Franklin and Shirley at Greenwood,
Myers was invited to attend the ami
versary meeting but soon after his ar
rival in the Lodge room he learned that
there were some objections for which
he blamed his brother-in-law, but he
Immediately left the lodge room.
Sunday morning about 9 o'clock he
started from his home farm to another
he owned, and met Shirley driving out
into the road from his barn lot A few
words were passed, and Shirley leaving
his horse and buggy went to his house,
returning with a revolver. Myers
started to his house also but before
reaching his yard gate stopped and
turned back, meeting Shirley again at
the same place. More words were ex-
changed when Shirley fired one shot
from his revolver. The bullet struck
Myers in the left arm just above the
elbow, ranging upward cutting the
mail artery.
Myers walked back to his house and
Drs, Craig and Cox were summoned
After failing to locate the ball he was
hurried to the st Vincent Hospital, In,
dianapolis, where the best of surgica
aid was administered, but to no avail
On Monday morning, finding that
gangrene had set in along the wound nc
time was lost by the physicians in re-
moving the injured arm at the shoulder
in an effort to same his life. On Tues
day 2:l5 O'Clock he died after which
another search was made locating the
ball in his left side just under the arm
The funeral was held Friday at l0:4(
O'Clock at the Christian church, Green
wood, conducted by Rev. Burkhart, as
sisted by Rev. E. L. Williams.
Myers was member of several diff
ferent orders in which he stood high, a!
was clearly demonstrated by the mem
bers in conducting the funeral services
He was laid to rest in the Greenwood
cemetery. Mr. Myers wife was Mis-
