(Rich Hill Furnishes Another) Shooting Scrape. | Hatcher Puts a Bullet in Hamiiton.—The Wound Not Sericus. Friday evening last deputy sheriff !Joe Graves brought up from Rich Hill and placed in jail William G. | Hatcher, who is charged with shoot ing Burt Hamilton. Both parties to the affair are miners and the shoot ing took place at Jim Gee mines, in the northeast part of Rich Hill, Friday at noon. The quarrel which led to the trouble was over the weight of coal. The lie was given. and pop went the ready. pistol. Deputy Graves happened to be in Rich Hill at the time and placed Hatcher under arrest and brought him to Butler The following par- ticulars of the affair are taken from the Rich Hill Review: “For some time past there has been kad blood existing among some of the coal diggers in the Jim Gee mine in the northeast part of town. Some cf the miners claim that others amorg their fellow workmen have beea stealiog their coal. The charge is that after the coe] was mined cer tain ones would take coal from the cars of others and put it on their own cars and thus get credit in weights for what did not belong to them, while the persons thus robbed wouid suffer a corresponding loss in weight. During the nooning hour to-day a quarrel resulted in consequenee of this old-standing trouble which eame near culminating in a tragedy. This quarrel was between Burt Hamilton and William G. Hatcher. Hamilton is a man about 26 years of age Hatcher is aged 55, and has grown sons. Hamilton’s story is that he was sent for by Ira Flaherty, pit boss of this mine; that Flaherty esked him party given his mother by her chil- | | children, three boys and three cirls, | Ingram, who resides in Kansas. To} jgive their mother a complete sur-} prise she was persuaded from home| if be had told Hatcher that he had stood by to see a certain car of coal loaded on & certain day, which was under dispute. Hamilton replied “No, but Miaherty stood by and saw me load it to the roof.” At this, Hamilton claims Hatcher called him 8 liar, and Hamilton returned the compliment with something worse |} added. “Hatcher first picked up a poker,” continued Hamilton, “and | §% struck at me. I then picked upa cinder, when he puiled a pop and shot at me. The bullet went through the rear part of my trousers’s leg and just grazed my thigh. He fired a second time, the bullet of this shot struck my arm here”---the outside of the muscular part of the left arm. The wound is slight. The bullet striking the bone, beceme flattened and glanced off, lodging just under the skin. injured member ” Sudden Death. Capt. H. P. Niekell was in the city Tuesday, and from him we earned of the sudden and unexpect- ed death of Mrs. Pinkard, a most es timable lady residing a short distance west of Amsterdam, Sunday night. She retired in her usual health and some time duriog the night was taken very eick. She ap prised her husband of the fact and the hired man was sent to the barn to hitch up a horse to go for a phy- sician, but by the time he had gotten ready she breathed her last. Her husband, Mr. Pinkard, was a confed erate soldier and left an arm on the battle field, and is a member of Camp Marmaduke, this city. The deepest sympathy of comrades and friends will be with bim in his sad bereavement. Hamilton went to Dr.|§ Lancaster’s office, who removed the |¢ flattened missile and dressed the} Za The Trsxs office was paid a social visit by its esteemed and accomplish- ed little lady friends, Mieses Myrt'e Smith and Clara Endres.
