Seriously Hurt
In Shooting
Victor In
Critical Condition,
Shot By Emil Schlepp

Victor Greenwat, who is in a
Billings hospital, is given only
a $3.50 chance to recover from
the effects of a gunshot wound
which he received early Sunday
morning about IL miles south
west of st. Xavier.
Greenwalt and Emil Schlepp
who did the shooting, had been
drinking before the incident
occurred, local officers said, and
there had apparently been no
quarrel or alteration preced-
ing it.
The pair, both of whom are
employed on the AL Balinsky
ranch IS miles southwest Of
St. Xavier, had attended a
dance at st. Xavier and were
accompanied to the Balensky
ranch by friends. They invited
their friends to join them in
lunch, and after the two were
left alone, some time after 2
am, evidence indicates, offic-
ers said, that Schlepp threat
ened Greenwalt with a 3O.O6
rifle. Greenwalt ran from the
house, and Schlepp was said
to have fired several shots in
the general direction taken by
his companion. He then ap-
parently tried to find Green
walt, and being unable to do
so, drove to the home of a
neighbor and asked him to &C
company him back to the
BalinSky ranch.
On the way they met Green
walt in one of the Balinsky
trucks. Schlepp jumped from
his car, the evidence indicates,
and tried to stop Greenwalt by
waving the rifle. When the
truck did not stop, Schlepp
fired two shots. The neighbor
who was with him stated that
he though Schlepp was firing
along the side of the truck in
an effort to stop Greenwalt.
officers found that one bull
let had penetrated one four by
four and imbedded itself in the
other, while the second bullet
went through the steel truck
cab and entered Greenwalt's
body in the lower part of his
back. A vertebra was fractured
and the bullet lodged in the
intestines, doctors discovered.
Greenwalt continued on in
the truck after being shot.
Schlepp and his companion
finally overlook the injured
man, who was in a semi-con-
SciouS condition.
Schlepp is being held in the
county Jail. He is being ar
raigned today before District
Judge Ben Harwood on a
charge of assault in the first
degree.

Commissioner Bashore in his
letter to Senator Murray, OF
Nov. %, 1945, makes no re-
Spouse to any of the facts set
out therein refuting his state

all by stating that the crit
