I Both Well Known Hero Wo re produce tho following special telegram to tho Stato Journal ' from Chadron. May G. W. R. Welch Bhot otid killed Glen Satitoo ttt 7 o'clock lost night near Ida postofileo. Wolch immediately drovo to this city, ar riving hero about Uo o'clock this ' morning, and gave himself up to j tiie sheriff. Tho story of tho shooting as told by Welch is as fpllows. Santee, a man twenty years old, camo to Welch's home about dusk tuid demanded payment for u trowel that Ho claimed Welch had that belonged to him. Mrs. Welch with whom he was talking, asked him how much tho trowel was worth. Just then Welch, who was in tho room, spoke up und said that ho knew nothing about tho trowel, and that Suutee must jxo to a nian named Baker, who was then plastering a house into which Welch was to movo. Sunteo then '- struck Mrs. Welch, knocking her down and stepped over her pros trate body and approached Wolch, saying: "Give inn that trowell or I'll kill you," applying a vile epi thet. Without waiting for a reply Santeo struck Welch, grabbed him by tho throat and continued to pound him on tho face. Welch defended himself as best ho could, Uut was no match for Santeo, and finally fearing that Santeo would kill him Welch drew a revolver und shot Santeo dead. Welch is twenty-nine years of ige, is married and has two chil dren. He came to this country six years ago and began farming. For the past three years ho has been teaching school and has been in the photograph business. R. San tee, brother of the dead man, was Welch's partner in this business until his death some months ago. Glen Santeo, tho dead man, was a guest in Wolch's house from tho 5th of lust December until tho time of his brother's death. Mrs. Welch says ho was always treated as a brother and everything was done for him that could bo. After tho death of his brother Santeo claimed that Welch was responsi ble for his death, although Welch was sick in bed at the timo Santeo died. Tho dead man is described as a man who was inclined to bo surly, and it was thought thai ho was not quite sound in mind. Welch had been warned that Santoe intended to kill him. Welch's face Bhows marks of a hard struggle. His face is badly cut up. There are marks on his forehead, cheeks and chin that looks liko tho work of somo blunt instrument. His lip is swollen so that ho can scarcely talk and ho is pretty well used up. Tho old soldiers met at the court house Monday evening to consider holding of decoration ser vices on May 30th. Jas. T.
