A FATAL QUAKREL ,
*
A
A Young' Farmer Shoots His
Neighbor at a Dance ,
The Latter Dying From His
Wounds To-Day.
Coroner Jacobs Will Hold an
Inquest.
About 7 o'clock [ Saturday Justice -
tico Beneke was called to hts office by
Constable Chris. Kaelber , of Millard
station , who had with him a prisoner
who&e hands were bourd with a piece
of common clothes-lino in lieu of
hand-cuffs. The constable informed
the justice that the prisoner had shot
a man and that the victim was in a
dying condition. Theproper affidavit
was then filed charging F. Mitchell
with an "assault with a deadly weapon
with intent to kill , " upon tbe person
of James Lyon. A commitment was
made out and the prisoner sent to the
county jail without bail , on the expec
tation that the wounded man might
die at any hour.
Shortly after a reporter called at the
jail and interviewed the accused who
somewhat reluctantly made a brief
statement of his case. He seemed to
be overwhelmed v.ith the trouble he
had brought upon himself , but told a
plain , straight forward story , admit
ting the deed but claimius ; that it was
done in self-defense. Mitchell has
been working on the fermof Mr. John
Hollunbeck , near Millard , while Lyon
worked inU similar capacity for Mr.
Hollenbeck'e s n. a in'le or two away.
Last night Mitchell says he and Lyou
went to Millard , where a dance was
held at Henry Kanden'a place. There
were several of the boys together and
all had been drinking when Lyon ,
It appears , grew quarrelsome
and begin to abuse a
young boy , whose part Mitch * 11 took
up. Lyon then transferred the ob-
ject DFhi wrath to Mitchell and
making sui'dry uncomplimentary re
marks about him intimated that he
would settle with him after awhile.
Mitchell left him and went up stairs ,
he says to avoid trouble , but others
say to get a revolver. In t-n or fif
teen minutes , lie came down again and
found Lyon "still charging around
and talking about him. " Lyon asked
Mitchell if he had anything against
him and the latter replied that he had
not. Ho than eaid if he wanted any
thing out of him ho could get it.
To this Mitchell replied that he only
wanted him ( Lyon ) to go away. The
latter then drew h > s revolver , but the
bystanders interfered and "crowded
him around awhile and got him out of
the room. "
Presently he returned in the same
fashion , swinging his revolver and
wearing he would shoot Mitchell ,
who began to think it was about time
to defend himaslf. ' He says tint Lyon
held the revolver in his hand behind
him , about half way out of his pocket' ,
and attempted to get the drop on him ,
but after trying in vain to make the
man throw up his hands
Mitchell fired at him , the ball enter
ing his breast and bringing him down
to the floor , when a second shot -took
effect in the forehead of the fallen
man.
man.This
This occurred between 12 and 1
o'clock. There was great excitement
when the unfortunate result of the
quarrel became known. Dr. Linkwai
sent for , but was sick , and a physician
whose name we could not learn , was
called in , who after examination of the
wounds pronounced them of a fatal
character and such as to render medi
cal assistance but an addition to the
man's suffering.
Mitchell.surrendered himself imme
diately after tbe shooting and came to
town without any attempt at resist
ance or escape. It was deemed advi
sable to postpone any examination of
the prisoner until the result of the
wounds given should become known ,
and he was therefore committed to
appear for examination on Monday at
11 o'clock. Should the man die the
duty of investigating the matter will
fall to Coroner Jacobs , and , upon his
finding the prisoner may be held to
appear before the next grand jury.
According to the statement of Mitch
ell , it would appear that the shooting
was done in sell-defense , though he
would not seem justified in shooting
the man a second time , after he had
fallen to the ground. Both the dead
ly weapons were left with Judge
Beneke , the one with which the shoot
ing waa done being a "Pioneer , " 32
calibre , with two chambers empty , the
others full. Lyon'a weapon was much
smaller , and every chamber was
loaded.
Mitchell ia a tall , slender fellow , ap
parently not over 30 years of age , of
swarthy complexion , and without any
appearance indicating a bloodthirsty
nature. Lyon is , we understand , of
about , the same age.
DEATH OF LYON.
"A dispatch was received Saturday
from - Millard to the effect that
Lyon was dead. Coroner Jacobs has
gone down to hold an inquest over the
remains. Parties from Millard blame
Mitchell for shooting , and think he is
in a serious fix , now that his victim is
dead.

A BAD .EE , i
Is What Fletcher Mitchell has
got Himself Into.
The Killing of James Lyon
as Viewe'd by the Jury.
Coroner Jacobs returned yesterday
from Millard , where a post mortem
was held on the body of James Lyon ,
who was shot by Fletcher Mitchell ,
Saturday morning , and from him we
learn some additional particulars con
cerning the tragedy and obtain the
verdict of the coroner's jury.
The evidence adduced was somewhat
different from the statement made by
Mitchell on Saturday to a reporter ,
and to some extent weakens his plea
of self-defense. Although the affair
occurred in the saloon and in the pres
ence of a large crowd , It was not
deemed necessary to examine but two
witnesses , viz : Frank J. Crawford
and John H. Pedersen , in addition to
taking the testimony of Dr. F. Eben-
er , who made the post-mortem. The
testimony showed that a dispute had
arisen between the tire men at the
dance at Kara den's place Friday
night , in the course of which Lyon
had drawn his revolver , Frank Craw *
ford took him aside and told him to
put the weapon up and he did BO.
Crawford ard Lyon then stood by tbe
ice box talking a few moments , Mitch
ell being at the end of the counter ,
when the former said he was going
outside and turned to leave the room.
As he did so he saw Mitchell spiing
forward directly in front of Lyon , and
with the exclamation , "You of
a b , I've got you now , " he fired ,
the ball entering the left temple of'1
his victim and passing through th *
head until it lodged under the akin a
couple ' of inches back of the right
ear. Lyon dropped to the floor without - '
out a word , while his , assailant , with
the words , ' 'You 6 of a b , I don't
want to kill you , but I'll give you
some more , " fired again , the ball en
tering the right breast of the fallen
man. Up to this time a'l had sup
posed that the trouble was ended ,
and think that Mitchell must have
armed himself after the firat words.
The latter , after he had fired the second
end shot , stepped back and flourishing
his revolver , said : "Gentlemen , I
know what I am doing ; don't come
neor me. " The crowd , however ,
closed up about him and the constable
took him in charge without any re
sistance.
Lyon was ( ntonsible from the time
he fell until he died , at 10 o'clock Sat
urday morning , and did not apeak a
word during the time. He was at
tended by Dr. Ebenerwho , said in'his
evidence that the first wound was fatal
in itself , though the second was not
necessarily so. _
Feeling is said to run vjry strong
against Mitchel1 , who ii considered , as
one man stated It , to be guilty of wil
ful murder.
The following jury was impanelled ;
Henry KelseyHenry HeithbU , Julius
Schroeder , Frederick Schultz , Arunah
Gage , Henry Goodheart and after
due dehbcra ion returned a verdict to
the effect "That the death of the eaid
James Lyon was caused on the night
of the 2nd day of July A. D. , 1880 ,
by a leaden ball fired from a revolver
in the hands of one Fletcher Mitchell ,
and that the said shooting and the con
sequent killing of tbe said James
Lyon , was done byathe said Fletcher
Mitchell with felonious intent. "
. Upon this finding there is no doubt
but the prisoner will be held without
bail to await the * action of the grand
OUT FOB A SHOT. ,
An Altercation Over a Game
of Pool and Ite Beeult.
About 10 o'clock yesterday morning
a serious cutting affray took place in
the Brunswick billiard hall , on Doug
las street. ,
Two men , Alfred Squires , living on
Davenport and Twentieth streets , and
Hugh Shields , living on 'Gaming
street , were engaged in a game of pool
when a quarrel arose over a shot one
of them had made. The quarrel doei
not seem to have lasted long , nor
words to have run high , for the bar
tender , who was waiting on a couple
of customers at the time , dil not hear
anything of it , and he was but a few
feet from the men. Words led to-
mere serious consequences , however ,
and at Itngth Shields drew -a knife
and struck Squires across the fore
head with it , inflicting a wound two
and a half inches in length , just
above the eyes , and penetrating ( o the
bone. .t ,
, The wounded man immediately left
the saloon and crossed the street 1a >
Kennard & Forsythe's drag storp ,
when some one took him to Dr. Jo
seph Neville's office , up stairs , and
had his head dressed. It wai a terri
ble cut , and left a hideous and gap-
log wound , which the doctor sewed
up. Squires was able to walk home
after the operation , and his injuries
were pronounced not of a very aeriooi
nature.
A warrant was issued for Shielda ,
but he was not found laat evening up
to a late hour.
Beinderff & Mauss do not claim to
ae the "only and original" ice cream
manufacturers in this country , but
.hey do claim the credit for making
urer acd better ice cream than any
other Omaha dealers and their many

HARD ON HANDS.
Two Accidents from Handling
the Dangerous Toy
Pistols.
A Contraband Article of Trade.
From time to time we are called
upon to record accidents more or less
serious resulting from careless hand
ling of dangerous and deadly weapons
in the hands of mere boys. It is a
remarkable fact that the law will allow
toy pistols to be sold to boys not yet
in their teens , and still more so that
mothers will allow their children to
possess such dangerous playthings.
Among articles of the nature allud
ed to is a small pistol sold by come
dealers , which retails for a dollar , and
shoots a genuine though diminutive
cartridge. John Keller , a boy 13
years of age , was the possessor of one
of these deadly toys , and came to
grief therefrom. He resides on Six
teenth and Davenport streets , and
about two o'clock yesterday was in
company with several companions o
about big own age , amusing himself in
testing its qualities in a neighbor's
yard. Charlie Wilhite , one of the
number , requested the privilege of
shooting of the pistol just once , and
was allowed to do so. He took the
weapon , and after snapping it twice
and failing to make it go off , was asked
by young Keller to give it back. The
latter took hold of the toy with his left
band , and as he did so tha hammer
fell for the third time , and the weapon -
j on < was discharged , the ball , the size
of ' a very small currant , entering his
' hand ' in the tender spot letween the
' second and third fingers. Keller fell
to 1 the ground , but called to a playfel
low to pick up his pistol , thinking lees
of his wound than of the valued toy.
He was taken to the office of Drs.
Wood & Hart , where his injuries
were attended to , although the ball
could not be found. Dr. Wood does
not think the wound will prove seri
ous although it will be quite piinful
for a while.
NUMBER TWO.
On Saturday afternoon a boy 13
years of age came down from Irvington
to Dr. J. S. Leisenring to have a
wound in his right hand dressed.
This boy , whose name wa * L. R.
Bingham , had been fooling with a
pretty good-sized pistol in which he
hid placed a blank cartridge. He
then proceeded to cock the pistol ,
placing the muzzle against the palm of
his right hand. True to the nature of
the festive weapon , the pistol off , and
the wad entering the bay's hand , lar-
cerated it terribly. He was in the city
again yesterday to see Dr. Leisenring ,
end his hand and arm were then both
much swollen.
Domestic Difficulties.
Mr. Richard Morgan , who resides
on Sixteenth street near North Omaha
oreek , was arrested Saturday , at the instance -
stance of hjg wife , charged with wil
fully maltreating her. It appears that
he hat been in the habit of abusing
her for leveral months pasf , and her
brother hai frequently expostulated
with him fe * his conduct. On the
evening of the first , while the brother
wai attending the democratic ratifica
tion meeting , he pounded her and
based her shamefully , which fact
coming to the ean of the brother on
his return from , tha meeting , he again
remonstrated , and was answered by
Morgan-with torrents of abuse.
Friday evening Morgan came to the
ouae where the brother lives , and
'threatened ' to "kill him , " "cut his
heart out"etc. so the neighbors say.
He was brought up before Judge
Hawes Saturday , and bound over
to keep the peace , and a trial of the
case set for July 7.
Mrs. Morgan states that it is her In
tention to sue for a divorce on the
ground of long-continued cruelty and
abuse.
