Three Shots Fired at Ber, One of Them Catting Through Her
Prom Saturday's Daily.
Albert E. Staudacher, who runs a drug store at 1362 Main street, next to the skating rink, and who figures in the city directory as a "physician and a druggist," made an attempt in broad daylight today on the most prominent street of the oity to murder Miss Laura Kearney, a olerk at A. Berz's store, while on her way home from the store to dinner. Staudacher has been a persistent and annoying applicant for the young lady's hand and was a prisoner in police court only yesterday morning owing to his disorderly aotions about Miss Kc^neyX. Q&
Jhe ^jspng
before. MJtr ait 4tf}' V- had 4i-^ Miss Kearney got in the street car at the store with Mrs. Shaffer, another clerk at Hera's, and Mrs. Scott Burgan. Miss Kearney lives at 38 south Thirteenth and-a-half street with ber sister, Clara, who is a olerk at Hoberg's, and her mother, Ellen Kearney, a widow. While the car was between 8ixth and Seventh street on its way east Staudacher drove up in a buggy beside the car and calling ob the driver to stop asked Miss Kearney to take a seat with him in the buggy. His language was: 'Gome and get in the buggy with ma"
Miss Kearney replied that she did not oare to, and the driver of the car started the horses up. Staudacher still kept his horses right beside the street car and Miss Kearney, noticeing that he was following her became muoh alarmed. As he continued to keep' abreast with the oar Miss Kearney told Mrs. Shaffer she was afraid to go home alone and the latter suggested that she take dinner with her. Accordingly, when the car reached Jeffers & Herman's establishment at Tenth and Main streets the three ladies got out. Staudacher at the same moment drove up in his buggy. Noticing that he was laboring under great excitement and was probably bent on some desperate deed, Miss, Kearney said to him: "Never mind doctor I'll get in the buggy."
Almost at the same moment Standacher jumped from his buggy and pulling a revolver from his pocket opened a cowardly and murderous fire upon the helpless young lady. As soon as the ladies saw the fiend going down in his hip pocket and the shining weapon leap forth they screamed and scattered. Staudacher fired three shots at the fleeing young ladv. One of the shots out a hole in the right side of her basque at the waist and struck Patrick, Martin, a tailor, in the leg. The other two shots imbedded themselves in buggies at Jeffers & Herman, the shooting taking place on the Tenth street side.
Mr. Jeffers seized Staudacker and held him until the police could arrive on the scene. An excited crowd gathered and a number violently agitated the question of lynching the scoundrel then and there. Staudacker's pistol still had two loads in it, five having been in it altogether. He was hustled into the patrol wogon and was soon locked up in jail.
In the meantime, Miss Kearney and her two companions were sent by the police to Prosecutor Henry at the court house, where a GAZETTE writer heard their statements. It was, in substance, the same as related above. As might naturally be expected, the ladies were greatly exoited. After their statements had been heard they were requested to appear at 2 o'clook this afternoon to be examined by the grand jury.
Staudacher was not under the influence of liquor and the turnkey said when he was brought to the jail that he was sober. He certainly was sober when a GAZETTE writer saw him half qn hour or so afterward. When searohed he was found to have two bottles in his pockets whioh throw additional light on the murderous attack. One was a bottle of pruesic acid, a most deadly compound, and the other was a bottle of morphine.
The theory is that Staudacher waited in his buggy for Miss Kearney until she Went to dinner for the express purpose of killing ber and then himself. Staudacher has been married before, his former wife living now in Germany. He has lived here about twelve years. He has been attentive to Miss Kearney for a year or more and has made himself generally obnoxious, particularly of late. Night before last heealled at Miss Kearney's home undei the influence of liquor. He had been told not to oall there again. He was armed with a revolver and greatly alarmed the household until the police took him away to his office. He cooled down and on promise to keep quiet the officers left him. No sooner had they gone, however, than Staudacker made his way back to Miss Kearney's and was raising another disturbance^ when he was arrested and locked .up.
When the reporter called at the jail to see what Staudacher had to say he was found "cornered" by T. W. Harper aad Justice FelsenthaL Mr. Harper said he bad advised Staudacher not to say anything about the shooting. Asked about his age, Staudacher said in very
broken English that he was fifty jreara old. He had on a dark suit of clothes and a plug hat. He wears a dark beard and is inclined to be stout. The reporter said: "I understand some of the crowd wanted to lynoh you is that true?" "When I go out on a racket like that," said Staudacker, "I go prepared," and with that significant remark his eyes gleamed and the flush in his oheek grew even deeper. Mr. Harper nudged him with his foot and if that was not enough Justice Felsenthal used the convenience of the German language to make him understand that he must keep quiet.
Miss Kearney is 23 years of age and is of tall and slender build. She has a graceful figure and is quite pretty. Captain Vandever stated that Staudaoher olaimed that she had promised to marry him and that she had gone back on her word. Mr. Vandever recovered the three bullets that were fired and has also the revolver that was used.
The murderous attaok of the fiend on the helpless girl was undoubtedly a premeditated affair and should be punished with due severity. The young lady escaped with ber life only by the difference of about half an inoh. Had the course of the bullet been that muoh nearer a cruel murder would have been committed.
This afternoon it is said that upon Standaoher's own statement he fled from Germany because of a murderous assault upon a man. He thought for some time afterward that the man was dead, but he finally recovered. N
THE BUJJIJET STBUOS HBB COB8BT. Mi«fl Kearney went to Dr. George. W. Crapo's office and was examined by, him as to whether she, bad sustained any injury or not. It was found that the bullet bad struck ber corset and that the steel in it had probably saved her life.
It was ascertained later that when Staudacher opened fire oh Miss Kearney she ran in the side way to Jeffers and Herman's works. One shot was fired before she got inside. She ran through the shop ana out to the tailor's, Staudaoher pursuing her- The bullet struck Martin, the tailor, in the thigh. It was only a flesh wound. Mre£ Shaffer and Mrs. Burgan, who accompanied Miss Kearney, are sisters, 1

s!J Wi' t, Who Go Through the Passengers y\lx in Systematic Order. t.'if'f'j
HOUSTON, Tex., June 18.—One of the most daring train robberies that has ever ocoured in Texas was perpetrated at 1:30 o'clock this morning, a short distance this side of Schutenburg, on the Southern Pacific railway.
As the train drew up at the station two men with drawn revolvers mounted the engine, covered the engineer and foroed him to pull the train to the open prairie, a few hundred yards to the east, where afire was burning tod around whioh stood eight or ten men all armed with Winchester rifles. The two robbers on the engine stood guard over the man at the throttle viiile the others went through the mail, express and passenger oars.
Nearly all the passengers were asleep and unawares of .what was going on until they were aroused by the robber. The first man tackled by them was Mr. W. Newbuger, of New York, whom they struck on the head with a revolver and secured from him $75 in cash, several diamonds and a gold watch valued at $1,000. Lon Mayer, of Cincinnati, was relieved of $35. It. L. Armstead, of New York, gave up $20. He bad a large amount of money with him which was hid in the sleeping car. A gentleman from Mexico lost $400. All the passengers were relieved ol what immediate valuables they possessed and it is difficult to form anv estimate of the amount of money and jewelry secured. Tne amount, however, is reckoned at about $5,000.
Wells, Fargo & Go's, express oar was also gone through, but the amount of money taken iB not yet known. No mail route agent was on the train, but the through mail pouches in the express car were all cut open and their contents appropriated. The total amount secured by the robbers is placed at $8,000 or $10,000 but when a careful revision of the matter is made the figmay be changed.
There is no doubt but that ooftsid&lible "boodle" was secured. The wboletamntry is aroused and in arms. Several posses have gone in search of the robbers.
Police Court Incident.
Sunday morning about 11 o'clock Cbas. Ferrand was arrested in front of E. Teitge's grocery and saloon at Pike's Peak on the complaint o^ Mr. Teitge, who alleged drunkenness and provoke. Officers Yoit and Butler made the arrest. They told Justice Slaughter this morning that Ferrand was not drunk at the time of his arrest and that they had not heard the words said to have been spoken by Ferrand to Teitge. They had simply arrested him oh Teitge's order. Mr. Teitge was not present and he was sent for. Ferrand stated that if Mr. Teitge pushed the oase against him he would prosecute him for selling liquor on Sunday, as he (Ferrand) had bought a drink there yesterday. This etatement was made in the presenoe of James P. Stunkard, Deputy Prosecuting Attorney. Mr. Stunkard said: "I don't care anything about that." This is respectfully referred to the Express, which is just now making a "moral crusade" against Democratic officials purely. .•»*.»1 it

J., where they were married June 1st They came to this city and occupied a furnished room on Washington Square. Since her marriage she seemed to be a constant victim of Rome sickness and melancholia, and remained in her room crying-the greater portion of the day. When her husband reached home after midnight this morning, he found her writing what afterwards proved to be an announcement of her inteuliou to kill herself. Soon after they retired she arose and a couple of minutes later a pistol shot aroused her husband, who sprang up in time to catch her as she fell with blood flowing from a bullet wound at the base of her skull. Other inmates of the house rushed in and she exclaimed: "I did it. I did not want to live." She was taken in an ambulance to the hospital but nothing could be done to save ber,
