AGAINST WHIPPING’ BOSS Indian Fighter Who Roved Natrona Dead | Fred M. Hans, ‘Cross-Arm-Draw” Expert, Who First Won Fame in ‘Hole-in-the- Wall Bandit Battle, Dies in Omaha OMAHA, Neb., April 18.—(By The Associated Press.) — Fighting, smiling, gray-haired old “Lone Star’ Fred M. Hans, Indian fighter, frontier scout and the last of the real two-gun “‘cross-arm-draw” experts, met death here last nigit with his “boots on,” as he had often desired. But death did not come to him on the field of battle where he had so often faced it, nor on the wings of a bullet. He was crushed to[ death in an elevator shaft at the | Omaha World Herald plant where he} was night watchman. Lone Star was caught by the ele-| —$_—___. vator when he attempted to move the central lever from the outside and the lft suddenly shot upward. | The old veteran tried to leap into It, | but his feet that so often had leaped on the backs of mustangs, had lost thetr old spring and so Lone Star died with his boots on. Lone Star began his career as plainsman at the age of 16 when he left home to search for a brother| kidnaped by Sioux Indians. He developed the “cross arm draw’ until he was without a peer and this skill he retained even in his old age. He never touched a trigger, but used his thumb to operate the hammer of his colt single action revolver, in a fan like: action. He often declared that he could fire his single action Colt sig times before any one armed with a modern automotic pistol could fire half that many shots. Lone Star broke into fame first in LONDON, April 17.—Domestic felicity is steadily gaining strength in England and Wales if recently Pablished statistics regarding di- Yorce may be taken as acriterion.
