Little, sresident of the Kaw Feed & Coal ecmpany, ex president and di- rector of the Armourdale Bank and a director in a Guthrie, (Ok.) bank, in front of Holzmark’s furniture store, 630 Minnesota avenue, at 8:30 o'clock last might. The shooting was {the outgrowth Little, City, of a coal mine deal in Johnston which and other Kansas Kan., men were engaged last winter, and which terminated unsatisfactori- ly. When the — shooting Jobnston was standing with Eugene EE. Towner, clerk of the county district court, and Dr. C. L. Van Fossen, a dentist. Johuston had joined Towner and Dr. Van Fosseu vnly a few moments before. He had just lighted a cigar in Connelly’s} drug store near by and was smoking it complacently with no thought of impending death. Dr. Van Fossen had one around Jobnston’s shoulders. The three men were very close friends. Presently Johnston inquired, according to the statements of Dr. Van Fossen and Towner. “Isn't that A. W. Little, crossing the street?” He pointed to the cor- ner of Sixth and Minnesota avenue. Dr. Van Fossen thought it was Little. Towner thought not, and offered in a joking way to bet a dol lar on it, and Van Fossen accepted the wager. arm While they were dis- cussing the matter Johnston told of a rather stormy meeting with Little in the afternoon. He said that he was passing Little at the Western Union office on Minnesota avenue when the latter saluted him. In re- turn for the salutation Johnston said he remarked to Little: “I don’t want you,” using an ugly epithet, “to speak to me at any time.” SHOT DOWN WITHOUT Ws ING Meanwhile Littlé was approach- When he had crossed the street he was joined by C.

When within twenty feet of the group, of which Johnston was a member, Little suddenly stepped forward two paces and a seemed to fairly leap into his baud from its place of concealment. Johnston glanced around and a look of surprise was manifest in his face. Without a word of warning Little fired. The bullet _ through Johnston's heart and he fell dead in the gutter with the look of ssed surprise still on his face. There was a scene intensely dra-| matic as Johnston fell. Little leap- ed forward to fire again, the smoking revolyer extended at the body. prostrate Towner sprang between him aud his victim and threw himself} upon the corpse, not knowing that his friend already dead, and hoping to avert murder. Little sprang upon them both and sho “TH shew the — —— that he eannot abuse me.” ed for ears that uever He did not know his dead. heard thez enemy w Twice, thrice he struck the * head with the butt of his revolyer. dead gman’ He was wad with ar- ir.
