The first shot hit in the' left side of Tom Rabb. and the two : men th-.-n dodsed behind some trees that were standine r.earby and two more idiots were fired. neither of . whirii l it either Tom Rabb or hi:? , father. I Tiie details of the shooting f rom the standpoint of Mr. Cotton are that the shots were fired in self de-' fei.s and it is claimed that when Cotton pas,-d the victim of the shoot ing he called Cotton a name and shoved him as veil as made a pass as to strike him and at which Cot ton drew his revolver and fired,, claimint that he feared injury, as' Mr. Rat h has had some experbr.ee ! as a I oxer and he feared bodily in- jury from his hands. j Mr. Cotton did not a- shoutinr. i'.ii:'' seve father.

Ree son. brother-in-law of dr. Cotton. and the prisoner was released and allowed to eo to his home and con tinue his work until the preliminary hearine. which has bet n set for Wed nesday. November I'Jnd. at 1 o' clock. At the time of the shootinp three younsr boyr. John Kalasek. Joe- Fries and Louis Sedlak were standing talk ins near the I'tter Clans residence a short distance from the place where the trouble occurred and the boys rtate that the first intimation of trouble was when they heard shots fired and that they heard no j conversation or words prior to the time the shots were fired. j I -Mr. Cotton has had more or less! ; trouble since entering the employe of the Rurlington several weeks af ; ter the strike and had his parage j entered and his automobile damaged j a sdiort time after he entered the : shops to work, as well as his resi-J dence treated to a liberal amount of yellow paint. Recently lie advertis ed his home for sale, announcing that !;e wished to secure a place c loser to j ihis woik in the shops. j The condition of Tom Itabb wa , reported as very serious this mornins' and a consultation of suraeons will be held to determine whether or not the injured man can be moved with safety to the hospital in Omaha for treatment, and the recovery of Mr. Rabb is still a matter of &rave un certainty. The shootins caused a preat deal of excitement and for some time the feeliim in the city was quite in-' tense, but has apparently quieted down at this time. Sheriff C. I. Quinton was placed; in charge of the direction of affairs' by Mr. Rawls and will endeavor to see that there are no further breaches of the peace committed or Catherines on the street that might engender more ill feeling or violence on either1 side. i. r.d in his endeavor? he should have the hearty co-operation of the t publi" to see that the situation is hanl'.ed in a manner that will be just to everyone. This afternoon Mr. Rabb was tak en to Omaha where he will be placed in th" Rre.-hyterian hospital for treatment and for the removal of the bulb-t from his body. The young man was restinir fairly well, altho under the influence of : nest hat ics. j The injured man was very popular j with his asso. iaT' s and a very large j crowd was present at the station to . witness the departure of Mr. Itabb for the hospital. Mr. Rabb was car ried on a cot from his horn to the station and on to the train. From Thursday's Iallv. The ladies of the Macabees enjoyed an unuLuauy pier sunt time luesuay evening at their lodire rooms and which was quite well attended by There I were a number of candidates initiat ed into the order and the impressive ritualistic work of the order put on by the officers in fine shape. i Following the lodge work the or der entertained the me mbers of the' cast of the "Old Maid's Convaiitiem." j with their husbands and friends and this social feature was one that will long be very delightfully remembered by all of the guests present. j lie evenin-r was spent in dancing and card game's for those who desire and which was enjoyed to the utmost by ail of the party until a late hour, liurinu this portion of the evening refreshments were served by Mes tiames 1...
