The Winona CLIPPER, Winona, Logan County, Kansas; April 19, 1888, Et Al April 19, 1888
 
Bound Over to District Court for shooting with intent to Kill. 
 
The youth who shot Jo HOARD, the porter who had ejected him from the train at 
Oakley, had a hearing Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday morning before Justice 
EDMONDSON.  The case was brought in the style of State of Kansas vs. P. H. 
SCOTT and the charge preferred was shooting with intent to kill.  The 
prosecution was made by county attorney WILLCOCKSON assisted by A. M. GIBBONS 
while A. C. TOWNE represented the defense.  The case was opened at 2 o'clock 
Tuesday afternoon and after a portion of the testimony was in an adjournment 
until 12 o'clock was granted to secure a few important witnesses.  Upon the 
arrival of the overland flyer at midnight, the case was again resumed and at 4 
o'clock the justice found the evidence sufficient to warrant him to remand the 
defendant to jail until district court, under a $500 bond.  [page 1 column 4;

A Tramp shoots and wounds a Colored Porter.
 
A tramp about 18 years old had the audacity to shoot the train porter, Jo. 
HOARD, a colored man, at Oakley Friday noon as No. 3 was leaving that town.  
The porter had put the tramp off the train and as he went to get back on again 
the tramp drew his revolver and shot him in the back.  The porter is not 
dangerously hurt and the Sheriff has the tramp in custody.  [page 4 column 3; 
April 19, 1888]

Joe HOARD the porter on the U. P. who was shot in the back by a tramp at Oakley 
is once again back on his run with Conductor HILL, and says he feels almost as 
well as he ever did although the place where the bullet went in is quite tender 
yet.
