Shooting Here Sunday
Night Costs One Life
Sunday night two young
negroes, John and Henry Mur-
phy, brothers, had a shooting
scrape at their mothers home,
here. In the exchange of shots
Johon's wife was shot near the
heart dying instantly and John
was fchotthe in upper part of his
right leg.
The testimony offered by the
two involved differed as to how
the woman met her death.
John's strory as it was re-
ported to us is, that he and his
brother were quarreling because
his brother never paid any rent
to his mother for the room he
occupied. He told his brother
he would have to move or pay.
His brother is reported to have
replied that he could not make
him pay, and he would have to
get the law to make him move,
and that if he did this he would
burn the house down. One word
brought on anothher until both
went into their rooms and got
their guns, John said he and his
wife then satin the porch swing,
his brotherlcoming to the screen
door told him that he was the
worst member of the family and
that he did not think he would
shoot his pistol, as he said this
he pointed his pistol at John,
John's wife jumped between
them just as he shot, she being
killed, the next shot hit John in
the leg, John then shot twice at
Henry, who ran and made his
escape for the night. John said
he then picked his wife up, that
blood was running out of her
mouth, he then laid her down
and sent for a doctor. This was
John's testimony, as it was re-
ported to us.
Henry's*testimony as reported
to us is, that he was working at
the compress, coming home be
noticed his mother on the porch
swinging her arms, he then
knew that his brother John, and
his mother were quarreling.
That when he arrived John was
fussing at her, the washed his
hands and come on the porch,
noticing that his brother had his
pistol, they quarreled and Henry
said he went into his room,.that
John fired the first shot, after
this he noticed the woman lying
on the floor, this was before he
had ever fired. He stated that
he shot twice when 'John came
to his door tojkeep him from run-
ning away, but when John went
around to the back he ran out of
the front door and went to some
folks' house out in the country.
Both negroes made bond to
await the action of the grand
jury.
Both boys were born and rais-
ed here, and seemed to be pretty
good boys.

Mr. Schenk, a man known to
everyone in this section, highly

tleman, who believed and prac*
ticed the Golden Rule.

lau, Austria, he came to this
country 46 years ago with his
family, locating in Fayette Coun-

Foot Bail Game Lost
The Schulenburg foot ball team
was defeated here by Flatonia
Wednesday by the score of 28 to
nothing. Flatonia has a fine
team, all clean fellows.
Schulenburg has a much bet-
ter team than' we expected,
under the circumstances they,
did remarkably well. Baumgar-
ten is a natural born player,
when he gets a ball it moves for-
ward every time. The two John-
son boys played fine, they will
be heard from in every game,
fighting and doing their share.
The other boys all did well. We
need to put more fight into our
team, especially among the
smaller boys. The Schulenburg
boys go with the ball every time,
but are weak on the forward
pass. Stay with 'em boys and
fight bard at LaGrange Friday.
You are as good as any team,
make up your minds and knock
them cold.
Friday afternoon the Schulen-
burg foot ball team will go to
LaGrange for a game with the
LaGrange team. As many fans
as can go are urged to attend.
We have not had a team for sev-
eral years, let's get behind the
boys and give them all the sup-
port we have. The following
Friday LaGrange will come to
Schulenburg for a return game.
We certainly should have a rec-
ord breaking crowd here for
that game. We may not win, but
the boys say they are going to
fight like tigers, and we believe
we have the kind of material in
this team that does not know
what (defeat fmeans. Buck up
boys, we are with you, stay with
them and remember a game is
not over regardless of breaks,
until the end of the last quarter.
E. R. Moore of Nachez. Miss,
has accepted a position as man-
ager of the grocery department
of the A. & F. L. Herzik store.
Mr. Moore has been a meat in-
spector for the government, he
resigned this to come to Schu-
lenburg. We are glad that he
and his wife have cast their lot
araoncr us.
