Joe Janda Victim
of Gunshots Fired
Near Childs Point
Joe Janda, l&! South Kighteenth street.
South Bide, was found dead yesterday
afternoon about 4:30 o'clock op a wooded
hillside near Childs Point, several miles
below the south' city limit's.' The man
had been killed with a shotgun by an un
identified assailant while picking grapes.
Police believe thst a farmer in the dis
trict where the man was trespassing fired
tha shot, but as yet have no clue.
In company with seven or eight friends
among whom was John Kucerek. living
at Eighteenth and Q streets, Janda had
gone . on a wild grape hunt, starting
early Sunday morning. Becoming lost to
his friends, they returned horns late in
the morning thinking that he had already
preceded them. His absence was discov
ered and after a fruitless all-night wait
for his return a search was organised
yesterday afternoon which led to tha dis
covery of the body late In tha day.
Cries for help followed by three rapidly
succeeding shotgun shots were, haard by
Kucerek, an Intimate friend of the mur
dered man, shortly after their parting
while on the grape hunt. At the time the
incident caused little anxiety for his
friend's .safety, tut now Kuoerek be
lieves that Janda was probably being at
tacked at that ttme.
Janda la survived by a widow and one
child by the mother's first husband. He
was 26 years of age and waa only re
cently married. Sheriff Huttar of Sarpy
county took charge of the case.
Friend Kills Friend
as Result of Quarrel
on South Side Street
John C. Carroll, living at Twenty-fifth
and Q streets, was cut to death yester
day afternoon at 5:40 o'clock before a
grocery store at Twenty-aeventh and Q
streets by his Intimate friend and room
mate, Pat Dwyer. Tha cutting followed
a quarrel of long standing, starting while
tha two men lived In Chicago. A small
Jack knife was the weapon used.
Three deep wounds, fully a foot long,
severed the heart, kidneys and Jugular
vein, causing a:uiost Instant death. De
tectives Olllen snd Allen arrested Dwyer
a few moments after the murder. The
latter made no attempt to escape.
Carroll and Dwyer have lived for twenty-five
years together, working as butch
ers In packing houses of Chicago, Kansas
City and Omaha during that time. A
iiuarrcl over some personal prejudice
threatened to separate the two some
months ago In Chicago and police believe
that the same nuirrel was renewed.
Carroll has relatives In Chicago, a sis
ter. Mrs. Mary Jenkins, living at Thirty
sixth and Ijong John street, and a
brother, Larry Carroll, who Is either a
policeman or a fireman of Chicago.
Both hod been roommates at an ad
dress given as 5112 West Thirty-fifth
street, Chicago. Carroll was unmarried
and appeared about Stf or 40 years of age.
