HE SHOT TO KILL.
Tom Mutton Snoots Hewn the Destroy

A Sunday Tragedy at Nevada.
Nevada Mall.
Wishart's new drug store was the
scene of a shooting affray yesterday
afternoon that had in it all the ele
ments of a tragedy. Indeed it may
yet result fatully. Tom Hutten fir
ed the shots and C. C. Dtffenbaugh
topped one of the bullets.
Dtffenbaugh was standing in front
of the cigar case having just bought

and turned facing the center of the .
room Tom ilutton appeared in the
doorway with a revolver in his hand
With the single imprecation, "you
s a of a b h," addressed to Def-
feubaugh, Ilutton pulled down on
him and fired. The parties were
not more than six or eight feet apart
at the time, Mr. Wishart, who had
waited on Deffenbaugh had just
turned his back to replace the box
of cigars from which Deffenbaugh
had selected a lot. Willis P. King
was also standing at the cigar coun
ter alongside of Deffenbaugh and be
tween him and the door. The shot
was a surprise all around and for a
moment none of the party seemed to
realize what had happened. The
ball struck Deffenbaugh in the left
bide just above the hip bone. He
turned to run and stumbled over a
chair. Ilutton followed up with a
second shot but the ball went wide
of the mark, striking the floor and
glancing up and over the show ease.
Meanwhile Huttonwas seized by the
bystanders and Deffenbaugh made
good bis retreat through the back
way of the store.
Officer Dureu. who heard the
hooting ran into the drug store
Sheriff White came in a moment
later and took charge of Mr. Hutton,
Officer Duren followed after Deffen
baugh. whom he found at the rear
of the store. Deffenbaugh was not
armed and upon saying that he was
hot the officer at once conducted
him to Dr. Dulin a office where he
lay iu great agony for beveral hours.
Subsequently he was taken to Hotel
Rockwood on a stretcher.

was wbelly unexpected to me. I
was not armed and bad not the
slightest anticipation of trouble. I
came here on business from Sedalia
on the 1:40 p. m., train yesterday
and had just been around to the
Winston Bros, livery barn to pay a
bill I owed there and had stepped
into Wishart's .drag store to buy a
cigar when the shooting occurred.
I didn't think Hutton would under
take that sort of a game and I am
satisfied he was urged to do it
braced up to it by others in this
town, who are just about us deep in
the mud as I am in the mire. Who?
Well, it is not necessary for me to
THE CAUSE OF TROUBLE-
Mr. Hutton was seen by the Mail
representative shortly after he gave
bond this morninr to appear for
trial oft the 10th. He was asked if
he would make a statement of the
cause that led to the shooting. He
said:
"Not long since my wite took the
train here for Kansas City to meet
me there. This fellow Deffenbaugh
got on the same train and during the
trip told her that there was a train
from Faola to Kansas City that
passed through Harrisonville an hour
or two later than the train they were
n and that if she would stop off at
Harrisonville and take tea with him
she could get into Kansas City on
the Faola train. He was importu
nate in his request. He had been
going with a great many nice ladies
iu Nevada and my wife thought he
was a gentleman, so she agreed to
stop off at Harrisonville and take
tea with him at a hotel.
"After they got to the hotel he
came into the parlor and told her
that he was mistaken about the
train that there was no such train
as he had described. This was after
supper. My wife at once weut to
her room and sat down and cried.
inis leuow even went to ner room
and tried to pacify her by tellin,
her that no one would find it out.
She ordered him out of the room
He left and where he spent the night
nobody knows. My wife sat up all
night, without taking off a stich
of her clothing and next day she
came on to Kansas City and met me
and told me at once the whole cir
cumstance. When I learned that
this indignity had beeu offered her I
at once determined to call the fellow
worthy of the name would have dote
under the circumstances. There is
not a gieitttr scoundrel running at
large iu the state of Missouri than
tbis Dfffrnbaug'a and if my pistol
had act-d at I hoped it would I
should lr.v killed him in his tracks."
RI-HHED BI.ISM.Y TO HIS FATE.
Sedl;;i, Mo.. Sept. 28. C. C.
Daiffenbaugh, f Springfield, Mo.,
who was hot at Nevada Sunday af
ternoon by Thomas S. Hutton, left
here on the morning train Sunday
and intended to return this morn
ing to Hotel Kaiser, where left hi6
baggage. The shooting was no sur
prise to the friends of the parties
implicated, aa Huttun had threaten
ed violence in case Deffenbaugh vis
ited Nevada. The direct cause of
the shsoting, so it is alleged, was
the intimacy of Deffenbaugh with
llutton's wife. A short time ago
Mrs. Hutton left Nevada with her
little hou for a visit to Kansas City.
On the train she met Deffenbaugh
and was induced by him to stop at
Harrisonville, where they remained
over night in company. A day or
two later Hutton was apprised of
his wife's unfaithfulness and he seut
word to Deffenbaugh that if he ever
stepped iu Nevada again there would
be trouble. The latter made light
of the threat, aud left here Sunday
morning for Nevada. During the
forenoon G. R. Tyler, of Nevada, ar
rived here to warn Deffenbaugh of
his danger, but on learning that he
had til ready gone te the scene of the
trouble Tyler telegraphed him to
return at once. A couple of hours
later a message was received saying
that Deffenbaugh had been shot.
Mrs. Hutton is one of the handsom
est women iu Vernon county, and
comes of an txcelleut family.

Because it has proven its absolute

it has an unequalled record of cures
because its business is conducted in

King of Medicines
Scrofulous Humor A Cure
"Almoat Miraculous."
" When I was 14 years of age I had a severe
attack of rheumatism, and after I recovered
had to go on crutches. A year later, scrofula,
in tbe form of white swellings, appeared on
various parts of my body, aud for 11 years I
was an invalid, being confined to tnj bed
years. In that time ten or eleven sores ap
peared and broke, causing me great pain and
suffering. I feared I never should get well.
Early in 1886 1 went to Chicago to visit a
sister, but was confined to my bed most of the
time I was there. Jn July I read a book, A
Day with a Circus, in which were statements
ot cures by Hood's Sarsaparilla. I was so Im
pressed with the success ot this medicine that
I decided to try it. To my great gratification
the sores soon decreased, and I began to feel
better and in a short time I waa op and
out of doors. I continued to take Hood's Sar
saparilla for about a year, when, having used
six bottles, I had become so fully released
from the disease that 1 went to work for the
Flint & Walling Mfg. Co., and since then
HAVE NOT LOST A SINGLE DAT
on account of sickness. I believe the disease
is exjielled from my system, I always feel well,
am in good spirits and have a good appetite.
I am now 2T years of age and can walk aa well
as any one, except that one limb Is a little
shorter than the other, owing to the loss ot
bone, and the sores formerly on my right leg.
To my frleads my recovery seems almost
miraculous, and I think Hood's Sarsaparilla
is the king of medicines." William A.
