Clmis. X. AL, Ana. 14. As the cul
mination of a serii s of tragic events
here today, In which several well
known Clovis business men were con
cerned, John Childers. proprietor of
the Klk liar saloon, was shot and
killed, and ('.us Von Klem. proprietor
of the White House saloon and chief
ol' the city fire department was seri
ously, if not fatally wounded. Child
ers was killed as the result of a fierce
duel with Von Clem, in which six
shots were exchanged, all of them
taking effect. The duel which. 01
curred at t!:30 this evening, it ia be
lieved, grew out of u healed argü
ían.' between the. two tutu eicihr in
the day. In which it is alleged that
Von Minn intimated that Childers had
set fire to the ('asliin store, ow ned by
Childers and Lilly, which was fired
in a suspicious manner three times
between i) o'clock Friday night and '1
o'clock Saturday morning. Von
Klein's assertion that Childers was re
sponsible for the blaze, it is said, re
sulted from a fierce altad; made by
Childers upon a fireman named YV .1.
Skelihm. who was attempting to put
out one of the fires which practically
destroyed the Cashin place. Accord
ing to .Skehloii. he was engaged in
lighting the fire, when Childers ap
proached from behind and dealt him
a murderous blow with the butt of a
heavy pistol.
Uetaufe of the rapidity with which
eviiits in the tragic affair followed
each other, there are many wild ru
more concerning it. The general im
pression sems to he, however, that the
Cashin store was fired either hy Chil
ders or by a man named Louis Lillj.
The store was owned jointly by didd
ers and Lilly, the goods in it being
bankrupt stock, said to be heavily in
sured At M o'clock last night. Ho
nro department was called to the
Casliin and extinguished a small
blaze. At midnight the firemen were
again called out to the same place
and. alter heroic wink, succeeded in
subduing a second file. Still another
alarm was sounded shortly alter
o'clock, positive that tin- blazes, were
the work of incendiaries, the fire chief
ami firemen made a thorough search
of tiie store and premises, looking for
clue- which might lead to the detec
tion of the guilty parties. A cat', of
eoal oil. (lie contents of which were
I lowing over the floor, was discovered
while Childers was near-by. It is said
that it was about this time that Ciiild
ts struck Sheldon with the pistol.
Childers was arr sted about 1
o'clock; this morning, charged w ith as
sault with Intent to kill and also with
ai'son. Louis Lilly was also jiff- sted
at the same time. Ohil.hts was iv
! isiol on $:j..-,iui bonds and Lilly on
J I. .'oil). j
Shortly after ti o'clock this evening,!
Childers jumped into a buggy and.
ilvov;. from his miimti. the Klk bar. toj
'be White House saloon, owned by.
Von Klem. Yon Klem. who had evi
dently been w in in d that Childers was
on his way to his place, appeared on;
the street, pun in hand. Just as Chil-
dt-rs stopped his horse and opened,
lúe. Von Klem opened fire at the.
sumo time, p.ith men fired three shotsj
all of which took effect. Von Kleni'sj
knee and thigh were" broken anil Irsi
I' ft hand w .if shattered. Child, i s fared j
slid worst-, being shot through tin j
light, breast, the left side and hip. ami
living one hour afier the shooting. j
Von Klem. it Is believed will recover :

Postmaster lieneial Hitchcock, this af
ternoon, regarding some disputed cen
sus pities, announcement of the
names, of more than 'JiMI supervisors
yet to be commissioned was withheld
until tomorrow. The delay in announc
ing the successful candidates was due
to the inability of Mr. Ta ft to com
plete today, the signing of the com

fixed hisi .signature to oil of the com
missions before leaving today. Colonel

urging that all the sixteen census sup
ervisors in Texas lie republicans und
his protest has held up the .announce
ment of the names of the eight, demo
crats and eight republicans agreed on

Colonel Lyon thinks the .Mason and

clusion of his conference with Ho
