Show LYNCHING MAY FOLLOW. Tough Character of Kansas Town Shoots Two People. As the result of a drunken row at Coolidge, Kans., Hugh Gallagher is dead and a companion, Tom Rhodes, is seriously wounded. The trouble started during the afternoon, when Bob Reynolds, a tough character of the town, began shooting on the streets. Reynolds opened fire on Rhodes, firing two shots, which took effect in the back and lower limbs. The crowd gathered again later on at the depot and Reynolds again appeared ap-peared wtin the shotgun. The crowd all got away except Gallagher, Gal-lagher, and Reynolds emptied both barrels of the shotgun, the shot striking strik-ing Gallagher in the stomach and abdomen, ab-domen, causing death in about three hours. Reynolds was captured and is now in jail. |
