Herald, Feb. 26: A Mexican, 28 years old, variously known as Joe Cisaros, Joe Garcia and Joe Roderico, shot up the Richards and Cunningham store at 12:15 yesterday afternoon when he was detected in the act of trying to steal a couple of pairs of shoes. The attempt at robbery was noticed by one of the employes and A. J. Cunningham, who was about to enter an auto, in front of the store, to drive to Douglas with Q. K. Deever, had his attention called to the slight commo tion which at that time had developed in connection with the Mexican’s actions. Mr. Cunningham called A. L. Wallace, manager of the store, and W. R. McMillian of the bookkeeping de partment, at the same time ordering the Mexican to disgorge the stolen property. The Mexican produced one pair of shoes and started to walk to wards the rear of the men’s depart ment, McMillian believing the man intended to run through the rear into the woman’s department and thereby make his escape, laid his hand on the Mexican’s shoulder to detain him. The Mexican again reached inside his coat, but not this time to return any stolen article. McMillian noticed the flash of a gun, as the hand came from inside the coat, and immediately grappled with the Mexican. The latter’s right hand, holding the gun, which was a 32 calibre, Smith & Wesson, was caught under Mr. McMillian’s left arm and in that position the first shot was fired. This shot tore through A. J. Cun ningham’s left arm, on the side a few inches below the arm-pit, lacerating the flesh and shattering the bone. Mr. Cunningham dropped to the floor and the Mexican having extracted his gun hand, McMillan slipped behind the man and attempted to pinion his hands back of him. He succeeded in holding the Mexican in that position while the next three shots were fired, the third of which was deflected and part of the spent bullet tore a fleshwound in the left leg of A. E. Biglin, who had rush ed to the scene of the disturbance from his car, in which he wSfe about to drive home. In the struggle with the Mexican, McMillan’s foot became caught under a radiator and the two went to the floor together. While the struggle was on and the Mexican had his hands held behind him, he succeed ed in getting the gun against Mc Millan’s side and pulled the trigger, but the cartridge failed to explode. When the Mexican went to the floor, others, including A. E. Biglin, Sheriff Joe Marquis and Police Officer Ideen came to the rescue and the Mexican was quickly subdued. The sheriff had been standing on the sidewalk talking to A. J. Cunningham as the latter was about to enter his ear and was only a few feet behind him when the shot that injured Mr. Cunningham was fired. The whole affray lasted but a few seconds, but it seemed an hour to those directly mixed up in it and to the men and women clerks who wit nessed the shooting. The Mexican was locked up in the city jail but later was removed to the county jail, where he is now being held, pending examination in the police court. On entering the store he was accompanied by another Mex ican who fled when the trouble started; the identity of the second Mexican has not been established. A. E. Biglin was not seriously in jured and was able to drive his car and take Mr. Cunningham to the lat ter’s residence on South Center, be fore proceeding to his own home, where his wound was dressed by Dr. J. C. Kamp. Mr. Cunningham was at tended by Dr. Lathrop and last night was reported to be resting as well as could be expected. The Mexican has served a term in the Wyoming penitentiary. About a year ago he was arrested, under the name of Cisearos, when he attempted a robbery in the Webel Commercial company store and was overpowered by Mike Kinney. He was given a year in the pen, but was released about two months ago and immediately returned to Casper. So far as known, he has not been engaged in any employment. The gun wrested from the Mexican, showed that five shots of the six had been fired; the sixth either failed to explode or he made no attempt to fire it. O’NEILL CHECKER CLUB TO MEET ORCHARD If challenges continue to pour in upon the O’Neill checker club as they have been doing since the late trouble with Butte, it may be necessary for Secretary Parnell GoWen to employ a stenographer to take care of the an swers. The latest one to be received is from Orchard, which wanted to play for the championship of Holt and Antelope counties. Secretary Golden in. accepting the challenge has nonti fied the Orchard bunch that the match will be for the championship of Ante lope county alone, O’Neill at present having no jurisdiction over the cham pionship of Holt county, since Butte annexed it a week ago. The match will be played at Orchard Tuesday afternoon and evening. If O’Neill should happen to win the tournament it is planned to then challenge Butte for the championship of Boyd, Holt and Antelope and thus win back the leadership of Holt county. Failing in this the club will abandon checkers for golf until fall. The K. Y. N. O. Club, celebrated their third anniversary on Monday evening, February 27th, with a ban quet at which all the members were present and a very enjoyable evening was spent.
