WOUNDS IN JAIL

Brother and Wounded His Step
Father Is Improving From At =.
tempt ut Suicide.
The Fleming Gazette says:

Russell Hall, the Colfax man who
was lodged in Jail here last Tuesday
afternoon for the shooting and killing
as described last week, is improving
and It is thought will soon be recover
ed from his injuries self inflicted.
The .32 ball which entered his breast
did not penetrate any vital organ but
ranged upward and lodged in the arm
near the shoulder. He is still in Jail
and will be given hearing as soon as
he is able to come to the court house.
The version Of the killing as given
by Wall Cook, who was shot and is
! recovering, is that Hall came to his
home carrying a shot gun and ap-
preaching asked ARE you ready to
die?" To which Cook replied, he was
not. AS Hall raised the gun Willie
Cook stepped between them and re-
ceived the full load from the gun. Wall
Cook ran into the house, got his gun
and as he emerged was shot by Russell
who had evidently been waiting for
him to appear. Cook did not fire his
gun.
| When the Sheriff arrived on the
scene he found Russell Hall lying or
the ground with a wound in his breast
and his wife tanning him. He told the
Sheriff he wanted to die and that his
only regret was he did not kill Cook
He is said to have been drinking. After
Hall had been lodged in Jail he said
the shooting Of his half-hrother, Willie
Cook, was accidental. Neighbors say
there had been some family quarrel
the day before. Russell Hall is about
| 40 years of age.
