Shooting Affray at Aslitou. Monday afternoon of this week, Con stable John (Joe of .Ashton shota tramp named Fie> born, the one who made a nuisance of himself here a week ago Saturday and was phee in the cooler to so er up. The wound was not serious, the bullet plowing around one side of his head from near the right eye over the ear just under the skin and coming out at the base of the brain. The l'el-; low was given a preliminary hearing Tuesday, bonds placed at $150 and Con- j stable Goo brought the hobo to Loup City that evening where lie was put in the sheriff's care and placed in jaill to ; await his trial at Ashion next Monday, j The circumstances leading up to the trouble as reiated to us by Constable Goc and others, was as follows: Free born, as the hobo gave bis name here,; alter his leave *ent to Ashton where he met congenial spirits and kept his tank full of booze until the marshal of that town placed him in the b.stdeov»i nig l with instructions the next morn ing to move on giving him thirty min utes to say good-bye. i he marshal then wer,t out in the country on a two days’ trip, whereupon the tramp de layed liis own departure, mixing up his I bo ze with a duv or two’s work. In the ; meantime the bloodthirsty proclivities ! ot the Freeborn individual floated to l the surface and tie express'd his inten I tion of starting a private cemetery and ! till it with the banker, a hanlwareman. some of the \ i lag- board, and the mar i shal as an interesting starter. Fears I of too early a departure for h— eaven I caused complaint to be made to Mr ' Goe, a- con-table, who took a small , bore cannon from the Freeborner, who jli id acquired the pill box from some j source in the furtherance cf his not very laudable ambition. After the tramp | had been unwillingly deprived of his munitions of war lie got “gay’’ while on parole and in the saloon of Stanislaus Goc refused to elevate his “bunches nf I lives.’' when so requested by the con stable, but on the contrary made a bluff as if to "Toga ’ the Polaoder fleet,when lie was dropped by the officer with the J captured arsenal as above stated and j made unconditional surrender. He was i then escorted to the guard house, his i wounds dressed, hearing had, and be ing troubled with the “shorts’’ to the extent ot S 149.99 out of the $130 bonds required to roam Free-born until trial.1 is playing checkers with his nasal pro tuberance and feeding at county ex-1 pense till he is court-martialed. fhe tramp whi'e here claimed that: his home<\VdS at Ravenna seme four or live years ago.
