Attempted Murder
on Sunday Morning

Charles Rauber, formerly of this
city. but for some lime past engaged
In ranching about 16 miles north of
Cotopaxi, was brought to town by
Sheriff w. H. Newcomb this afternoon
on a warrant issued by District Attor-
ney T. Lee Witcher charging him with
the attempted murder OF w. II. Hop.
per last Sunday morning
The shooting grew out of an alterca
ton between the TWO men in relation
TO some cattle owned by Mr. Hopper.
which were being wintered on the Rau.
ber place under the terms of a con.
tract entered into last fall Last Sun.
day morning Mr.. Hopper. who is
prominent stockman living on Talla-
hassee creek, rode over to the Rauber
ranch to look after his cattle there,
which ne found had been penned up
in violation of the provisions of the
agreement between the two men.
Mr. Hopper opened the pen and re-
leased the impounded cattle and began
to throw them so hay from a stack
near by, which he had purchased at
the time the contract with Rauber was
made. Rauber objected to Mr.. Hop
per's action concerning the hay, which
he said belonged to him Rauber then.
according to report, grabbed long pole
and struck at Hopper. who managed
to avoid it by jumping aside. Rauber
then went TO the house and a few min
utes. later shot Hopper through the
fieshy part OF the right hip with 80
80 Savage rifle from a distance of
about as yards.
Hopper was Knocked off the hay
stack by the shock of the bullet. but
was not hurt in the fall. He was able
to rise to his feet and seek safety be-
hind the haystack. but had only been
there a few seconds when another bull
let was fired at him. but missed its
mark. He remained behind the hay
stack for some time trying to find a
means OF escape. which was problem,
as his horse was hitched between him
and the house where Rauber was in
trenched
After few minutes he decided that
he would make a run for a gulch about
so yards away, and follow II down
toward the river and on to Cotopaxi
where he could procure assistance He
had not proceeded very far until Rau-
ber overlook him and again threat
ened to shoot him Hopper told him
that it would be cowardly to shoot an
unarmed and defenseless man who was
already wounded. The argument
seemed to have its effect on Rauber.
who decided that in view OF the fact
Hopper had e family TO support he
would spare his life.
Hopper succeeded eventually in max
ing his way to his horse and was al
lowed to leave the place without fur
ther molestation. although his entire
right side was almost paralyzed from
his wound. Rauber was locked up
in the county jail on benig brought
here to await preliminary hearing.

force here until recently. There ar-
pears 10 be some doubt as 10 whether
Kruger was his real name as his union
card was made out TO Ray Stee'ey. and
he had letters in his pocket addressed
to S. ]. Kroplewski The latter is
thought to have been his right name.
as he stated that he was a Polish Jew
20 his associates here. His selective
military draft card, which was made
out at Vancouver. Wash, was in the
latter name. 4
Papers in his possession showed that
he lived in Chicago before coming
west. and kilograms have been dis
patched TO his friends there by District
Attorney T. Lee Witcher to learn
something of his antecedents IL possi-
Bile.
Last Thursday afternoon Kroplew-
ski was sent out with a wagon and
team by James Harvey to bring in a
pillow and scraper that had been left on
Current Creek mile or so away. Fall
ing to return at the expected. time Mr..
Harvey went to look for him and found
him dead standing in a ditch about
three feet deep. He was leaning over
the bank of the ditch with his face
buried in the sand. apparently having
choked to death during an attack OF
apoplexy. Kroplewsk had an apopletic
fit Thursday morning and his condi-
ton appeared to be serious for some
time. but he recovered before noon and
seemed to be all right when Mr.. Har.
vey sent him on his errand.
