THE DEAD: Seth S. Magnusen, joint agent at Orin Junction for the Chicago & Northwestern and ©. B. & Q. railway companies, died in Douglas hospital at 10:50 this morning. Mr. and Mrs. Ernest E. Tubbs, mountaineer residents of the Irvine re- gion. THE INJURED: Infant child of Mr. and Mrs. Tobbs, not expected to live. Deputy Sheriff John McPherson of Douglas, Converse county, wounded in right hip; condition not serious. J. ©. Graham, Orin Junction, a clerk in the store of Hern & Company. No doubt is held In the minds of au- thorities as to Tubbs’ insanity, The fact that he fired without provocation at a peace officer and afterwards bat- tled to the deuth with a povse Is ac cepted as conclusive evidence of men- tal derangement, which Jt is believed, also extended to hin wife. In order to clearly understand the: seeming mystery which surrounds the” case, it is necessary to xo back to the time of the horsewhipping. Tubbs’ cruelty to his 12-year-old stepson, Bennie, had attracted the attention of neighbors on more than one occasion. One winter night because of some in- diseretions the boy may have com- mitted, Tubbs forced him out into a howling gale without shoes and stock- ing and with insufficient clothing. As a result, the boy now lies in the state hospital at Lander, both feet amputated, and with only the outlook of a crippled life before him. Tubbs was taken from his ranch, | stripped to the waist, and given a se- | vere horsewhipping at the hands of | the people. The punishment lodged tn his mind to stay. He became a beast, intent upon revenge, and the lives af those who had so humiliated him, ft is alleged. Early yesterday afternoon as the Tubbs family drove along the North- western tracks near Irvine the fath- er suddenly seized one of tho Iittle girls, tore her drees from her body, and fingged down the westbound orthwestern train, No. 603 “My ranch is be:'eged by a band of masked men,” he told the conductor. “I must have help at once. When the conductor realized his cordition and ordered the train to Move on, Tubbs loosed a number of oaths, turned to his buckboard and drove toward Orin Junction, He told his story at the Hern store and a rush call was sont to Douglas. Depu-. ty Sheriff McPherson responded im- mediately. The deputy thinking only to help Tubbs in his difficulty entered the store, unarmed. Like a madman, Tubbs rushed to the man, and plac- ing his revolver in the pit of Mo- Pherson’s stomach pulled the trigger four times before the gun discharged. The bullet entered the groin, but Me- Pherson was able to reach his ma- chine before he collapsed. Harry Hern, proprietor of the store leaped over the counter and knocked the gun from Tubb's hand, Mrs. Tubbs at this point raised a rifle and shot wildly about the room. Seth Mag- nusen, railroad agent, who rushed from the depot across the street to give assistance, was dropped by a shot through the open door, the bul- let piercing his back. He lay un scious, although still altve, from that | time until 10:50 a. m. today, when he died. Little hope had been held for his reco up to that time. } J, C.
