PERpETRAT0R OF SHOOTING
IN CELL At COUNTY JAIL
Made Two AbortiVs Attempts to
Commit Suicide and Officers Be-
lIaVe He is FeIgaing insanity

Mrs. Anna L. Short is in a serious
condition at the Methodist hospita
as result of two pistol wounds in
tlicted late yesterday by her former
husband, w. ]. Short, who is in the
Logan county Jail and who is said tc
be shamming insanity with suicida
tendencies The shooting and arrest
are sequels of two sensational di
vorce trials here.
For several hours last night it was
not believed Mrs. Short would sur.
vive for twenty-four hours after the
shooting. She was shot in the back,
the bullet lodging Her right lung
was penetrated and it bled a great
deal. This morning the bleeding
had been stopped and Mrs. Short was
resting easily. Her greatest danger
is in recurrence of bleeding, or in
pneumonia. which very often sets in
following injuries to the lungs.
Following the shooting Short is
said to have made two attempts at
suicide The officers are entirely OF
the opinion tnat the attempts" were
the clumsiest sort of shams and they
regard his conviction of attempted
murder as certain, provided Mrs.
Short RECEIVERS.
There are six children, between
the ages of five and eighteen.
The Lost Revolver
Waen Sheriff Murphy and Deputy
Spencer arrived at the scene OF the
shooting, the Short homestead, three
miles north of the city, about 430
o'clock Wednesday afternoon, Short
was under the care of tnree nephews
Cecil, Dunbar and Jesse Short, VINO
told a uniform story of the affair
They said they heard the shooting |
and came to the place Another story |
contradicting this was picked up. The |
boys said that after firing two shots
at Mrs. Short, Short went into the
house and triei to kill himself with
IA shotgun and that then he ran out
and jumped in a pond.
The strange part Of the story to the
officers was that the revolver was
missing. Thorough search was made
for it. Two shots were fired here
is another question as to why Short,
if he contemplated suicide, tnrew
away or gave away the pistol.
Big Holes in the Wall I.
There are two holes in the Short
house, apparently made by loads oil
shot. short is said to nave fred the
shotgun at himself twice. One Of
the holes is about three feet from the
floor and another about seven feet
This hole is through the ceiling and
When the officers arrived Short
was shivering at a terrible rate. He !
