Sheriff Baney and DR.. Martin were
called to Neils Camp No. on Bob
tail creek about o'clock Saturday
morning by Foreman Frazer to take
charge Of Roy Winters, who was shot
following an alteration in the sleep
ing car at the camp.
Arriving upon the scene it was dis
covered that Winters had been shot
twice by John Brobst, of Woods for
est service crew, when Brobst awak-
ened to discover him robbing his poc-
kets. The men were brought to town
where a preliminary hearing was
hAArd before Justice of the Peace
tfaighr, and charge Of assault II
the first degree filed against Brobst
BY Attorney Herbert.
Testimony in the case disclosed that
Brobst, who was sleeping with three
other men in the box car bunk house,
was awakened about | 80 o'clock, and
noticed man with a shaded flash
light enter the car and make his way
70 the foot of the bunk. Here he was
seen to pick up Brobst's trousers and
go through the pockets. Brobst got up
and grappled the man, who ran to the
end of the car and attempted to hide
under table. The scuffle awakened
the other men in the car, and one,
sleeping in an upper bunk, jumped
down upon Winters, who threw him
off and made out the door of the car
at run. By this time Brobst had re-
moved his gun from the wall, and
shot three times into the darkness
alter the fleeing figure.
The men in the car then dressed
and went outside, to find Winters ly-
ing wounded, two shots having hit
him. One shot shattered his thigh
bone, and the second one caused q
flesh wound between the shoulders.
Various stolen articles, including
knives, watches and money were found
streWn upon the ground near Winters,
and it is assumed he discarded these
when he discovered he was trapped.
Writers was brought ito town by
Sheriff Baney, and is resting at the
/ bby hospital, where it is said he
will recover. y
Upon questioning from Attorney
flerDerl, winters plead not guilty TO
the charge of robbery, saying he had
entered the car by mistake, and was
in the camp for the purpose Of look
ing for work. He is not known in Lib
by or at the camp, and stated he
had come here but recently from
Standpoint.
The hearing before Mr.. Haigler
justified Brobst in the shooting, and
charges against him were dismissed.
He has gone to Troy, where he is
working on forest service crew.
