MORE BLOOD
A Caldwell Tragedy
Caldwell, Kan, June 22 - Two men supposed to be cowboys from Indian Territory, started a disturbance in the Red light Saloon here today and the City Marshal, George Brown, went in to arrest them. While attempting to disarm one of the ruffians the other drew a revolver and shot Brown through the head, scattering his brains all over the floor. Before an alarm could be given the desperadoes mounted their horses and started for Indian Territory. A pursuing party was immediately organized, but so far the murderers have not been captured.
