Shooting in LaMotte

John Webber and Peter Wagner, both farmers, engaged in a quarrel at LaMotte 
last Thursday which resulted in Webber being badly pounded and Wagner carrying 
a bullet wound in his right side. When the report reached Bellevue it was 
supposed that both parties would be dead before the sun rose again, but 
fortunately for them the wounds are not serious and both will recover. The men 
met at LaMotte last Thursday in Hingtgen’s store and it is said that Wagner 
immediately assaulted Webber and knocked him down several times before he drew 
his gun in defense. However this may be, will be fully developed no doubt by 
the county attorney who we understand will investigate the case. Webber 
returned to his home south of Bellevue Thursday, after having his wounds 
dressed by a LaMotte physician.
