REMINGTON HAS A SHOOTING AFFAIR.

Jasper Guy Pumped Some Lead Into “Tip” Kenyon Last Saturday.—Latter Will Recover It Is Thought.

Remington was the scene of a serious shooting affray Saturday at 11:30 a. m., in which Will Kenyon was hit in three places by bullets from a revolver m the hands of Jasper Guy, the attorney. The shooting took place at the corner north of Allman’s hardware store, close by the Kuster grocery. ' r . Guy was on his way home to dinner, walking on the east side of the street, and Kenyon, who was on the opposite side of the street, crossed over toward Guy and the latter says, signified that his intention in crossing over was to whip h out of him. The latter thereupon pulled a revolver and begun to shoot, and when the smoke of battle cleared away and Guy’s weapon was empty, Kenyon had been snot through the wrist, the ball passing dear through, one ball grazed the shoulder, and another, and the most serious wound, entered the back slightly above the hip and at this writing is supposed to be lodged somewhere in the stomach or intestines. Kenyon was able to walk unaided to a doctors office south of the railroad, about a block distant from the scene of the shooting, and had his wounds examined. Unless something unforoeen sets in it is expected that he will recover. Kenyon is a son-in-law of Mrs. Guy, with whom Mr. Guy has had considerable legal difficulties of late and against whom he brought action some months ago for $lO,-

000 damages and also for a divorce. Since this trouble began we understand Mrs. Guy has been staying with her daughter, Mrs. Kenjon, and it is alleged by Guy and his friends that Kenyon has made many threats that he would whip Guy; that when he would meet the latter on the sidewalk he would purposely crowd him off the walk, and in other ways was insulting and overbearing towards Guy. The latter is rather dimunitive in stature while Kenyon is a large, robust man, capable physically of handling a half dozen men of Guy’s muscular ability. Guy was afraid of Kenyon, and whether the latter really intended to assault him or not, or merely said and did what he is alleged to have done just for a joke or a scare, is not known, but that he had him spared is a well known fact, and Guy had told the marshal, nightwatch and others that he was afraid Kenyon would beat him up. After the shooting Guy made no effort to escape, but telephoned the sheriff here that he was awaiting arrest, and deputy sheriff 01 Robinson drove over to Remington and brought him over, arriving here at about 5 o’clock p. m. He was taken to the court house, followed by a big crowd who had beard of the shooting. He waived a hearing and gave bond in the sum of SI,OOO for his appearance at the September term of court, Harvey Hartman, a well known business man of Remington and a brother of Guy’s first wife, going on the bond.
