ASSAILANT ESCAPES IN DARKNESS
Aurora Neb June 23 Special Tele
gram Edward Fowler a son of one
of Auroras well known citizens was
assaulted on the street between 9 and
10 oclock last night and shot three
times His assailant eseaped in the
darkness The attack was sudden and
wholly unexpected The young man is
doing as well as he could be expected
and his friends think he will recover
The assailant in this case is said to be
one J C Manuel or Tuck Manuel as
he is better known here where he was
formerly employed in the railroad ser
vice A year or two since Fowler be
came involyed in a scandal with Man
uels then wife and in this connection
was assaulted on the street here one
night by an unknown person so stated
but really well known and still said to
be a resident of McCook
Manuel and his wife were afterwards
divorced Manuel left the city Mrs
Manuel afterwards became the wife of
C W Martin and still resides here
The assault and attempted murder
reported from Aurora is doubtless an
echo from the McCook affair Fowler
was struck on the jaw with a brunt in
strument and sustained a fractured jaw
when he ran the assailant shot him
three times in the back While in
serious condition he is expected to re
cover
The sheriff of Hamilton county was
in the cityMonday seeking for Manuel
who is said to have dyed his hair a pe
culiar red and to have donned overalls
and a jumper and to be posing as a la
borer Manuel is said to have made
threats against his former wife and
hence the local officers and those of
Hamilton county had some idea they
might locate him in this section Man
uel is said to be going under the name
of C S Saunders
