Gann replied: "What do you want
here?" at the same time drawing
back with the pail of water and
striking his assailant full in the face.
The unknown man who was
masked, was almost stunned, but,
pointing his revolver at Gann, fired
the shot, which was from a 32 caliber
revolver, taking effect in the right
breast in front of the shoulder,
piercing the lung and lodging near
the backbone.
After the assassin had fired, a com
panion suddenly stepped from be
hind the side of the house and fired
twice, one shot striking the abdo
men, penetrating the abdominal cav
ity.
The wretches then fled and have
not been heard from since. The in
juries are such that Gann cannot re
cover, and death is looked for hour
ly. One ball was cut out at the
back, but the other has not been located.
At noon yesterday a farmer named
Lowe was robbed of $200 as he was
returning from the city, near Gann's
house, and that the same ones shot
Mr. Gann no one doubts.
Gann is worth over a quarter
of a million, and in St Joseph
is almost as well Known as in
the county. He enjoyed the dis
tinction of being the tallest man in
northwest Missouri, standing almost
seven feet in his stockings. His age
was about 64 years.
This morning the sheriff with ten
special deputies went to the scene of
the murder, and organized forces
are now scouring the country.
Robbery was undoubtedly the mo
tive for the crime, as Gann has been
popularly supposed for a long time
to carry large sums of money on his
person and to keep various large
