Cert, Which Caught in the Wheel. Robert Johnson, a young farmer of Deep Water township, was found dead in the road, near the corner of Charley Ewin’s farm, on Thureday afterncon last, witha gbastly wound in bie erde and shoulder. About 200 yarde down the road bis shot gun was found, one barrel baving been discharged, the trigger of which was | broken off. About a mile away bis | horse and cart were found, the seat | smeared with blood. The lap robe bore the appearance of having been | used to stop the flow of blood Every circumstance pointed to an | accidental shooting. It seems that | Jobnsoo was getting up a party to go bunting and nutting on the Marias des Cygnes river the next day and was on his way to notify young Ritch of the trip. After being shot be evidently tried to stop the flow of blood with the lap robe and reach a neighbor's, but became ex- bausted, and fell from the cart and bled to deatb. 4 Robert Jobnson lived with his widowed mother absut three miles east of Spruce. He wes about 30 years of age and uomarried. He became quite notorious abcut three t years ago by killing Sam Keene, a ;neighber, in a drunken fight. He and Keene were in Butler together, | both drinking heavily. They started bome horseback, and had a fight on the road. When Keene reached ‘home he was badly used up and | died thortly afterwards from a frac- iture of the skull. For this killing | young Johnson was tried, ecnvicted jand sentenc-d to the penitentiery | for two years The supreme court ' remanded the case and-on a new | trial, was taken to Henry county on | change of venue, he was convicted | and sentenced to four months in jail, | which he served.
