* acted: rightly. David M. McCutchan, Farmer, is Formally Charged With Slaying Walter Inman SHOT AFTER QUARREL Amidon, N. D., March 25.—Walter In- man, 39, Amidon bowling alley pro- prietor, who was shot about two inches below the heart Wednesday by) David M. McCutchan, Slope county farmer, at the Fred Gillette farm near Amidon, died here. McCutchan, who has been held in jail here since the shooting, was formally charged with murder. Two physicians operated on Inman. They found the bullet had ranged downward, puncturing the intestines 12 times and lodging in the back mus- cles. The bullet could not be located. They Teported that Inman ‘had shown strong nerve. Sanford McCutchan, who came here from Belfield, says his brother David, charged with the ‘shooting, is insane. It is stated that insanity probably will be McCutchan’s defense. ‘Witnesses of the shooting say that during the fight between Inman and McCutchan, the latter said, “I will get’ two more.” It is believed he ‘meant Oscar Erickson and John Douglas, who accompanied Inman from Amidon ‘to the Gillette farm where the tragedy oc- curre@.

(He is @ brother of James iL (McCutchan, of Belfield, who is held ir the Stark county jail in ‘connection with a cattle rustling‘ charge. , Because of intense feeling ‘against McCutchan, the jail is being guarded and the prisoner has been placed in an inside cell: ‘Urs. David McCutchan and children are at the Amidon hotel, hysterical, since the shooting. The wife is being ‘cared for by Mrs. James Douglas, whose son John was threatened by Mc-), en Cutchan, Funeral services for Inman, who. Jeaves his wife and three daughters, aged 15, 12 and 8, will be held at Aml- don Sunday. Stories told by witnesses to the shooting or by those questioned by: the state’s attorney are to the follow: | ing effect. Trouble Over Lease Mr.\Gillette last year gave a two- year lease on his farm to Leslie Aus- tin, who subleased the land to McCut- chan for the coming year. Mrs. Gillette sobjected to McCutchan and determin- ed to take possession of her husband’s farm herself. Her husband, who is in Canada working had written Wal- ter Inman asking him to assist Mrs. Gillette in getting possession of their farm. Mrs. Gillette moved to the farm Monday of this week. M¢Cut- chan, brought his family from Belfield Tuesday and-against the wishes of Mrs.* Gillette moved into the house and refused to leave. Theodore Hayes, father of Mrs. Gil- lette, alter Inman, John Douglas, Os- car Erickson and Rodney Conklin brought a load of goods to the farm for Mrs. Gillette. They were met at the door by McCutchan who refused to eral small children ‘were in the house admit them. Mrs. McCutchan and sev- at the time. An altercation ensued as the result of which Inman igs said to have struck McCutchan, and entered. Mrs. Mc- Cutchan intervened asking the men not to fight. ‘McCutchan, so the witnesses say, rose from the floor and ran to a shed at the rear, and pulled a revolver from a dresser drawer. Oscar: Erick- son attempted to get the gun, but re- treated’ when threatened by McCut- chan, who, according to the witness- es, thén took deliberate aim and shot Inman two inches below the heart. Overpowers Assailant. Inman, disregarding his wound, overpowered McCutchan, ' disarmed him and handed the gin to Brickson. The wounded man then beat his ‘as- sailant until the latter promiséd to be good. Released by Inman, Mec- Cutchan’ snatched an axe and ordered Erickson to drop the revolver. Inman then took the ax from McCutchan, who next grabbed a pitchfork, ‘which was also taken from’him by Inman. MRS, LULA VANN i} FULTON, ARK.
