Harrilon Shoots Jim Three Times With a Shot QHn Still Ljves. Jesse Harmon, a farmer about six miles the other wide of' Gans, made a murderous assault Wednesday morning upon his neighbor, Japies F. Jackson, and came Bear killing him. The assault made with a shot gun at close rjange, and it seems but little short of a miracle that Jackson was not killed The first information- of the af faij: to reach Muldrow eame about niae 'clock Wednesday morning, and a physician was asked for. Dr.

Hates answered the call, and the Vress 18 indebted to him for the information from which the following is devolved. Some time ago Harmon had let Tony Jackson, a brother of Jim, have a span of young mules to work. Tony worked the mules too hard to suit Mr. Harmou arid hq toef'k the mules away from him. This proceeding naturally caused more or leas.talk which finally came to the ears Wednesday morning early he appeared at the home of Jim Jackson, saw Mrs.

Jackson and engaged in a friendly conversation, lie had His gun, but Mrs. Jackson thought nothing strange of it, supposing he had come through the timber in quest of small game. Finally Harmon asked where Jim was. Mrs. Jackson replied that he WPS down in the field chopping cotton.

Then she stepped to the door, and seeing her husband at work about fleventy-fiye yards from the house, said: "There he is, now." Harmon went down into the field, and as he approached, Jackson gave him the usual greeting and asked wh) he didn't bring his hoe along. The two families had been on very friendly terms, and Harmon exchanged greetings in ently the same neighborly spirit that Jackson had saluted him. Harmon then asked Jim about something he had said about him in. NAKDIMEN. I'rus .1, 11, nAKF.K.Cushlfr FIRST NATIONAL RANK MULDROW, IND.

Jackson replied that he had never said anything like that, but that he had told Trjny if he would -go to Mr. Harmon and talk right to bim, he could get the mules back agaiu, if Harmon man he thought he was.

Then Harmon wanted Jackson to go'with him over to another neighbor's and clear the matter up. Jackson told hiin he could not go: said that he didn't want to have any trouble with the man, nor with anybody else. this, Harmon brought his gun into play, and Jackson, seeing he was going to shoot, started to run. The two rneu were standing about ten steps apart, and Harmon fired just as Jackson started to turn, a part of the load taking effect in his breast and shoulder, Jackson ran and bis assailant fired again, using charge of buck shot. A part of this load struck Jackson about the head and shoulders but for some reason failed to bring him down.

He kept on run- niug and Harmon started after him. After running a short distance, Harmon stopped, put another shell into his gun and shot again at the fleeing man. Directly afterward Jackson sank, to the ground, being much exhausted from his run and numerous wounds. Harmon stood watching his fallen victim for a few moments and then left the field. A peculiar thing about the assault was its unexpectedness on be part of the Jackson family.

On hearing the first shots, Mrs. Jackson went to the door and saw the two men running. She didn't even suspect the truth, but supposed, that Mr. Harmon had shot something and both men were running to get it.

He has generally been considered a pretty good old man, but very high-strung and Marshal 0. B. Rhodes and Constable Tom Cotton or Sallisaw were sent out to arrest him, but have not been able to locate hiin up to the present. I Jackson was taken to his Dome: after the shooting where he lay for several hours before Dr. Bates arrived.

The doctor says he was the bloodiest looking man he ever savj'. His face, neck and shoulders were covered with clotted blood the wounded parts were considerably swollen. Two hours or more were necessary to wash and dress the wounds, and Dr, Bates thinks the chances for bis reoovery are favorable.
