It was reported last night that Dick Landon, who was shot in a fight at Pries' lake Sunday night was worse, At first it was thought his injuries did mot amount to much, but during the afternoon Landon seemed to take & turn for the worse and developed signs of complications which may result fatally. The South Omaha police do not appear to be inter- ested in the affair and as far as known no effort has been made to investigate the shooting. Landon and his friends still Insist that they do not know who fired the shot. The bullet has not been found, as the attending physician. Dr. Delaney, has not deemed it advisable ‘to probe at this time. Heavy Live Stock Receipts. For Monday the receipts of live stock ¥ the yards here were heavier than asual.

Several grading contractors who are working on rallroad grades In western lTowa were In the city yesterday looking for men and teams. Good wages are guar- anteed for all summer, but few available men were found. Grading contractors say that now that farmers are able to get into the fields there 1s & dearth of men and teams and consequently there is little doing in the line of rallroad grading. As soon as the farmers have a let-up in their work there will be plenty of help.

Ths deceased leaves a widow and four children. By trade Zavrel was a painter and paper hanger and was reported to be an excellent workman. Coroner Brailey was notified by G. H.

It is sald at the office of the county attorney that information will be fled against Officer Goodrich of the police force charging him with manslaughter for the shooting of Elmer Scott a week ago. The information will probably be filed as moon s the county attorney returns from Teka- man, where he has gone on business. Speaking of the case Deputy Burnam said: “The matter {8 not one that the prosecutor Ukes to take up, for it presents phases which are not all one-sided. There is no thought in the minds of any one connected with this office that Officer Goodrich in- tentionally killed Scott. Scott was not a model citizen, but the worst thing that can be sald in the case is that the officer was too free with his plstol. To what extent he was justified in shooting at all will be for the jury to decide. The county attorney cannot ignore the matter under any cir- cumstances and the friends of the officer should welcome & hearing which will give him an opportunity to justity his course.” Late yesterday afternoon a complaint was filed against Police Officer Goodrich, charging him with manslaughter, for the shooting of Elmer Scott on the evening of June 7. The complaint was {ssued by Po- lice Judge Berka and was sworn to by Deputy County Attorney Burnham.
