Nj. Vernon Man
But Physicians Believe They
VIII Save His Life

A letter has been received In the
city BY relatives of Ernest Wingeier
of Denver, Colorado, who was shot by
another man about two weeks ago.
The communication describes the
shooting which Is said to have re.
suited from quarrel over a girl. The
bullet has been found by surgeons
about two inches below the heart and
hopes for the injured mans recovery
are entertained.
AS the story goes, Wingeier had
been paying attention to the sweet.
heart of a cowboy living near Denver
and had beaten the latter's time.
During rifle practice, indulged in
sometime later by several men from
neighboring ranches, Wingeier ap.
preached to witness the sport when
the cowboy, who was one of the prac.
ticing crowd. turned and shot him
with little warning.
