Jamcu shooting case, will be un
fathomed in the near future. A
sinter of the wounded man came up
from Omaha Tuesday night atid
went out to the JameB home Wed
nesday. The story which the
neighbors ol the James family tell
and which is probably the correct
one is to the effect that the wounded
man and Ira James were out 011 a
thieving expedition and that the
mau on whose premises they were
did the Bhooting. James was only
slightly wounded. The other man
in in a very prccariouB condition and

morning after an absence of ten
days during which time he visited

credit upon him. His many friends
here hope that he will succeed In
