CARFEJTTKR qtARRELS AltD IS SHOT Raaeamaa Arrestee aad Held Catll Coroner's Jry Says "Aeeldeat." SIDNEY, Neb.. Feb. L (Special Tele gram.) W. D. Stratton, a carpenter of Kimball, was shot Wednesday by John Bower, a successful ranchman living about three mile south of Dlx. Th coroner's Jury returned a verdict tonight of "acci dental shooting." Stratton had been building a ranch houae upon Bower's homestead and th latter claimed it was not good work, discharging Stratton and seeking better workmen in Kimball. According to Stratton' tatement. Bower had failed to pay him for work don. Ac cording to Bower' statement In Kimball on Tuesday, he had not only paid him, but refused to put up with what he consid ered poor workmanship. Wednesday morn ing Stratton, who is known- to be of a quarrelsome nature, armed with a rifle snd liquid refreshment, drove to Bower' ranch and demanded an Immediate settlement. Bower parleyed with him for some time and upon Btratton'a seizing th gun from his buggy turned and went Into the house, bringing out an pld double-barreled shot gun filled with buckshot end proceeded to to turn its contents loose' In Stratton' abdomen.

Ths verdict, while somewhat peculiar, ha th endorse ment of the general public. Inasmuch aa Mr. Stratton was always Inclined to be quarrel some when under the Influence of liquor. In this tnstanc Mr. Bower had hired Strat ton. believing him to be a carpenter, ths dead man having ao represented himself. HI work. It I generally thought. Justified Bower in discharging him. There were no eye witnesses to the shooting, but sufficient evidence existed In the mind of th county official to caus Mr. Bower' Incarceration awaiting th verdict of the coroner' In quest. Bower haa lived for the last two years In Kimball county and is looked upon aa a successful ranchman. Ths funeral of th dead man will take place Saturday afternoon.
