It will be remembered that Maddux was shot in the left hand, mangling that member in a horrible manner. A few shot also struck him in the face and neck. Immediately after the shooting he was arrested as an accessory in the killing of Shehan and brought to Cheyenne. His condition was such that he was placed in jail, but was kept under guard at the hotel. An operation was deemed necessary and on Friday last the physicians decided to amputate the larger part of the injured hand, which was done. Complications set in and it was found necessary Sunday night to remove the arm between the shoulder and the elbow joint. He rallied the operation in good shape and it was thought all; danger was passed. Tuesday evening he began to sink rapidly and died during the night. The remains were taken to his home near Berlin Wednesday for interment. This is the second death from this shooting scrape, Walter Shehan dying about an hour after the shooting. G.E. Vance who did the shooting is in jail at this place.
