Shooting at Bessie.
Last Sunday night about 10
o'clock, as Oscar Hoefner was
riding along the road with his
girl, he passed "Chicken" Starr,
who was riding a hor«e and car-
ried a gun. After Starr had
passed about thirty yards, he
turned and emptied both barrels
of the gun into the back end of
the buggy, one shot striking
Hoefner on the side of the face,
and several of them hitting the
young lady.
No reason for the dastardly'
act is assigned by Starr, only
that he did it for fun. His pen-
chant for fan, if allowed to go
uniestrained, will cause murder.
Hoefner came to town on Mon-
day and swore out a warrant and
