Kenneth Stead was shot and serious'
II injured last Friday by the wife OF
the tenant on the Stead farm near
Pipestone. The Stead family left here
last week for Pipestone with the in
tention of moving on their farm. The
story of the shooting as it is told here
is as follows: 1t seems that they had
been having trouble with the tenant
for several months and were having
difficulty in getting him to move of OF
the place. Mr.. Stead had been doing
some blowing on the farm and the
tenant had even gone SO far as to re-
fuse to allow him to use the we'll
placing a fence around it and locking
II with a chain. Last Friday Kenneth
drove to the farm and stopped at the
: well to water his can and as 1t was
locked he broke the chain. When he
did this the wife of the tenant came
out with a revolver and shot him
through the shoulder, infiicting a ser
!, ious, but by no means fatal wound. A
telephone message from there this
week reports him to be getting along
nicely.
