Everywhere one sees evidences of
the grsft struggle. Ous of every

Everytime we land some of the

they get into an alteration with

are armed, they invariably get
the worst of the deal. A gen.

Voeckel was formerly Mrs. Ed

and the child stays with its mother
who lives with Voeckel her present
husband three doors below the Old
Custom house At the latter estab-
lishment Mrs Voeckels mother lives
According to the best story, obtain
able, Taylor who lives in Lowell, Il
accustomed to go to his ex-wife's home
every Sunday, securing his child and
taking the youngster out for a walk
It would appear that Taylor made
the call, Sunday. Also he must have
called first at the Voeckel house but,
not finding the child there had gone
TO the house Of Mrs. Voeckers moth
er. There he found both.
Here the story becomes confused,
Voeckel is said to have been drinking
and following Taylor up 10 the Old
Custom house, entered into an argu-
ment there In some manner he drew
his gun and fired twice at Taylor
One bullet entered Taylor's right
lung and the other ricochetted along
the left breast Taylor was left where
he fell and a physician sent for. He
was removed to the c. d A. hospital
yesterday and it is said he has a
chance of recovery
c. A. Bailey was called and did not
find Voeckel when he arrived Voeckel,
in the meantime, had sought out the
nearest telephone and had secured
Judge Totman and told the latter to
send an officer TO make an arrest
The preliminary hearing has not
been set and probably will not be for
day or two, pending the result Of
the bullets in Taylor's body.
