wife. Friday night Ballew, who is the
owner Of stage line at South Platte,

sleeping rooms are in one building. He
shot Mr.. and Mrs. Wallbrecht, viii
own the place and tourist named Nc

that it will be necessary to kill him,
as he has declared that he will never
be taken alive.
Ballew was determined to be re-
venged upon Mrs. Wallbrecht, whom
he blamed for the separation of him
self and his wife.
Half dozen people were seated at
the supper table when Ballew stepped
into the saloon adjoining the dining
room. Get out of here,' said Wall
brecht, when he saw Ballew.
For an answer Ballew jerked his re-
volver and fired at Wallbrecht. the
bullet striking him in the arm. Wall
brecht fled and then Ballew started
firing at Mrs. Wallbrecht. He stood
in the doorway between the saloon and
the dining room and Mrs. Wallbrecht
was some distance away. He fired
at least four shots at the woman be-
fore she fell screaming to the floor.
She regained her feet and ran out
through the kitchen door to the barn,
where she hid.
One bullet from Ballew's revolver
struck a healthseeker, named Nc
Whorter, from Kansas City, penetrat-
ing his arm.
