ALWAYS LOOKING FOR TROUBLE.
An Old Feud Between He and James
Carlan Terminated by the
LaUer Shooting Him
to Death.
. Perhaps none of the several
.tragedies that have occurred in
Custer county caused more excitement -
citement or produced more of a
sensation than the shooting to
death of John Sanderson , by
James Carlan , on the street in
Broken Bow last Satnrday evening - .
ing , March 28th , at 6:15 : o'clock.
This beca4se of the fact that the
man who was killed had
been d. resident of the county for
twenty-five years and through a
number of escapades and legal
entanglements became well
known by nameif not personally.
AN OI.D FRIItND.
'fhcre seems to have been a
feud of one or two years standing
between the participants to the
tragedy , although prior to that
time they had been close friends ,
as wen as neighbors , for many
years. The cause for their difference -
ference is stated to be in the
nature of a family difficulty , and
it is expected that when the case
is tried before a jury , evidence
will be presented to the effect
that each had openly threatened
the life of the other.
UNDER INFLUENCE OIr LIQUOR.
Carlan has bcen in the city all
wint ? . _ and , ; 1nc erson ' ame to
town Saturday for e n 00 n.
Whether they met during the daj'
previous to the encounter has nat
bcen lcarned , but that both Lad
bcen drinking to excess was noted
by all who saw them.
FIVE SHOTS lrntEn.
'l'he mcn met on the east side
of the Broken Bow state bank
building , and may have talkcd a
few minutes before the altenl10n
of anyone was attracted to them ,
which was occa ioned by the loud
talk and oatbs of Carlan , followed -
ed quickly with the report from a
rcvolver and in quick succession
four more shots. 'l'he shots were
fired so rapidly , from a Colts
Automatic revolver , that some of
the witnesses , at the coroners
inquest , testified there were only
four , while as i matter of fact
there were five.
'rwo SIIO'1'S ' ! 'OOK Junl'ltc'r.
I
Those who were near state
that the first shot missed , the
bullet being imbedded.in in the casing -
ing to the doorway leading to the
second story of the building.
'l'he second bullet struck the
watch in Sanderson's vest pocket
and with such force that the
shin was bruised. One of the
three following shots was a miss
the bullet striking and flattening
agaiJ1st the stone steps to the
bank. TbQse who saw the affair
do not agree to the order in which
this shot was fired. Either one
of the two that took effect would
perhaps have caused death ,
especially one , which severed the
artery from the heart , the other
breaking the neck.
CAHLAN SURHENDERED.
Sanderson fell without uttering -
ing a word and breathed but a
few times after persons who saw
the shooting reached him. Car-
lan , with hands uplifted , in one
of which he still held the revolver -
ver , walked toward Dr. W. R.
Pennington , who stooc1 at thc
bank corncr and said : " 1'11 sur.
r nder to you doctor , here's my
gun , " and he was taken to the
county jail bV Dr. Pennington.
'l'he body of Sanderson was
so : > 11 thereafter removed to un.
dertaking rooms and Coroner
Cole swore in a jury composed of
Jules Haumont , George W. Ap.
pIc , E. ' 1' . McClure , Geo. Will.
lng , 11. H. Squires and L. Do ,
George. After bearing the tes.
timony of such persons as were
known to have witnessed the
shooting , thc jury returned iJ
verdict as follows :
. vmmtc'1' Olt CONONltHS JUl\ ' .
At an inqucst held at Broteen
.Bow , in the County of Custer ,
State of Nebraska , on the 28th
day of March , 190 , before lie E.
Cole , corner of said county , uJon
the body of John Sanderson , lymg
dead , bv the jurors whose namcs
re hereto bscribed , the said
urors upon thcir oath do say :
l'hat the said Jonn Sanderson
'came to his death on this , the
28th day of March. 1908 , by
rcason of two gUll shot wounds
inflicted upon him by James
Carlan , with a revolver , and that
.said shooting of the said Sander-
son by the said Carlan was feloniously -
iously done. And that 5ahl
shooting was done in Broken
Bow , Custer county , Nebraska ,
and said Sanderson dicd immcli-
ately after receiving said wounds.

Taft is Cheerful Workman , Docs Duty ,
Dodgcs Trouble.
Non partisan view of Se'cretar ) '
l.'aft by the Omahn Dailv - News.
Although asked -describe
'l'aft in phrase I should call
him "the cheerful workman. "
He loves to work , : lnd he worls
checrful because he is always
confident of doing it welt. 1t 'is
his huge optimism , his belief iu
the essential right . of everything
everyboc1j..thnt is the secret
of his success. With 'l'aft as
presidc.nt there is not Weet ) ' to
be a panic or othcr seriom crisis
during his administration. Ile
will head it off b ) ' an active faith
and wi11laugh the moncy bac1 ,
in the bank.
Physically , 'l'aft is one of the
biggest men in the world. He
weighs 280 pounds and is six feet
tall. His shou1chm are tremendous -
deus , so broad that 'yon almost
forget he is too big around the
waist. He is not a fat man in
the ordinar.y sensc. His boncs
and everything about him are of
uuusual size , and the generous
covering of good , health ) ' f1e h is
a proportionate part of the gen.
eral cquipment. Were he a sour ,
suspicious , or a pcssimistic man ,
he would be a lot thiuncr , but he
is none of these things.
His head is unusually wide between -
tween the ears , which indicates
constructive power. His forehead -
head is not very high , but uncommonly -
commonly broad anc1 well de-
velo'cd. [ Over each eye the
bones of the slmll bulge distinctly -
ly , which , they say , reflects the
keenness of his observation. His
mu tache and hair arc gray. I-Iis
half is growing thin all ovcr , but
no spot on the head is really un-
covered. His eyes arc clear and
honest and his manner lS unaffectedly -
fectedly open and corc1ial. He
says he is glad to see you. Other
public mcn when you call on
thcm also say they arc glad to
sce you , but in 'most cascs yon
tmow that t11ey are bored to
death at having. to. see 'V.o.u , and
only do so from sOlne feeling t t
l hey ougu t to.
When 'l'aft says it you thinl ,
he mcans it. I believe hc docs.
Hc rcally lilies prell ) ' ncarly
everybody he mcets , and the
number of his friends is legion.
'l'aft is not a figh ter because he
docs not really hatc anybody
enough to matee him think that
a fight is the only way out of it.
He likes to think as well as he
can of e\'en his enemies. Inmost
cascs he probably behevcs that if
his enemies wou1c1 come and have
a frank talk with him they would
thereafter bc "good Indians. "
His whole carcer has bcen that
of a peacemaker and not a
fighter. People who have studied
his decisions in labor disputes
claim that they have neither been
directcd against the worldng-
man nor against the capitalist ,
but reall ) ' represcnted a fair effort
on h is part to preserve the public
peace. He docs not like distur-
bers. He wants cverybody to
come in out of the strect and sit
quiet and be good. l.'his is what
cnables him to go to the , Philip.
pines or Cuba , or to any other
place where there is a row on.
and as soon as he has been there
a few days atilt has had a chance
to call the fighters into a room
and talk to them , there is sud-
dcnly a great calm.
It is almost morally and physically -
cally il11pos ible for antagonists
to sit in the same room with 'l'aft
and listen to his genial common
sensc , his cheerful optimism , his
hearty laugh which carrics him
over all embarrassing' points ,
without feeling that fighting is
really absurd , and that you ought
to invite the m,1.'n , you have been
trying to scalp hOme to dinner.
'fhcre is nothing foolish or
sentimental about 'raft , either.
He is a practical man , with il
kcen eye for detail amI a tremendous -
deus capacity for hard work. In
Washington he is at it never
later than 9 in the morning , is
busy all day , and then tatccs a lot
of worlc home in thc cvcning
. , nd worles until midnight. He
is the hardest worker in the entire -
tire administration. No man in
Washington has had thc physical
power to (10 such labor since
Grover Cleveland WhS there.
Julius Cms..r IS said to have employed -
ployed three secretaries at the
