The Centerville Echo, Linn County, Thursday, July 19,1906 July 19, 1906
Attempted Murder at Kincaid.
At about 8:15 p.m. last Sunday while Dr. JACKSON was talking with some of his
acquaintances on the street, a man by the name of Joel PRICE, a carpenter, who
formerly lived there but who has been away for nearly a year walked up and began
shooting, the first shot only powder burned his face, the second missed but the
third shot hit him in the breast, going through. In all Price snapped the
revolver five times but one cartridge failed to explode. After the shootinig,
during the night he walked to Garnett where he gave himself up to the sheriff.
The wounded man while very badly hurt may recover although the Doctors say there
is a very slim chance of his doing so.
There is altogether too much of this shooting going on all over the country and
we believe if our legislature would pass a law maing it the duty of the governor
and complelling him to sign the death warrant for every man convicted of murder
hereafter in the State of Kansas, it would do more to stop the promiscus
shooting to kill than any other one law on the statute book.
