ONLY ONE KILLED
IN TEXAS TRAGEDY
|. G. GREEN TO RECOVER
Body of George Green to be Brought
Home for Burial, His Uncles State
on Return from Texas.

While George Green died within 6
few minutes after being shot by hi:
uncle, L. G. Green, near Gilmer, Tex
last Sunday, the latter, whom George
shot at the same time, will recover
according to Joe and NJ. G. Green
brothers of L. G.. Green, who returned
to Conway last night after having
been called to Texas on account of the
tragedy. Flfty-four No 4 shot en-
tered L. G. Green's face, arms and
body, Joe Green said today, and it
was first thought his wounds would
prove fatal, his son, Oscar Green
wiring that both men were killed. 1t
developed later, however, that the
wounds were not SO serious and the
man is expected to recover.
According to Joe Green, the trouble
between the uncle and nephew arose
as a result of the older man stating
that he was going to inform the Of
ficers of the whereabouts of George
Green, who was wanted in Conway
county on a charge of cattle-stealing
and whose bond was forfeited in cir
cult court in that county last March.
On their return to Conway Joe and
NJ. G. Green were met here by Will
liam Green of Springfield, father of
George, and arrangements We're made
for the return of the body of George
to Springfield for burial. The body
is being held at an undertaking es-
tablishment at Longview, Tex.
A somewhat different version of the
tragedy appears in the Longview
Daily Times Clarion of Monday, which
was brought back by the Greens, and
the paper also incorrectly reports
that L. G. Green was killed. The
story appearing in the Times Clarion
follows:
Sunday morning about $50 L. J.
Green, s. years old, shot and instantly
killed his nephew, George Green, 80
years old. and was himself shot by
George Green, at the latter's home S
miles southeast of Gilmer in Upshur
county. The trouble came up over
an old pistol and we understand the
women folks had done considerable
talking. The old gentleman, who
lives about mile away, rode over to
George Green's with his single bar
relied shot gun and begun abusing the
younger man, who ran into the house
and came out with a single barrelled
shot gun. Both parties shot at the
same time The elder Green was h;t
with 81 No. 4 shot and the younger
with 35 No. 4 shot. George Green
died in a few minutes and the elder
Green in about three hours.
THE father of George Green was
telegraphed at Hot Springs and tie
body was ordered embalmed by the
Peoples Hardware Company of this
place, and the body is here awaiting
the disposition Of the parents.
Il. J. Green Will be buried today
in the Glennwood cemetery"

ENGINEER WALKER TO
CHECK RIVER FLOODS
BY DRAINAGE SYSTEM
Clearwater and Thief River.
Are Investigated for Flood
Control Purposes

Crookston, Aug. 4.-Work of con-
Quoting a survey of Clearwater and
Thief rivers with a view to determin-
ing whether improvements should be
made to prevent high water is now
under way according to c. G. Selvig
of Crookston who is president of the
Red River Valley drainage board.
According to Mr.. Selvig, thousands of
acres of Red River Valley land has
been damaged by previous foods and
1t Is the opinion Of the board that
widening and deepening the rivers
would eliminate the food stage.
George w. Walker, a Thief River
Falls engineer, is In charge Of the sur
vey Of Clearwater river which was
started Monday. His work is ex-
,pected to be completed by fall. En-
gineer Joseph Baugh Of Warren who
has been busy since early spring in
the establishment and construction Of
judicial bitches in the Thief River
vicinity is conducting the survey, Of
Thief River and is also expected to be
able to make a report this fall. =.
Both engineers are expected by Mr..
Selvig to recommend improvements In
the two rivers. The recommenda-
lions will be presented to, Judge An
Fdrew Grindeland; who will order. the
improvements made il he believes
conditions warrant them. 4
The drainage board, Mr.. Selvig
said, hopes for favorable decision
and a start on the deepening of the
rivers in 1921. 1t is his opinion that
with the completion of the work,
thousands Of acres Of cheap land will
be open in the valley for occupation.
