No. 226 SHOOTS TO KILL "Near" Murder Enacted Glendale Today. at DIVORCED MAN IS RESPONSIBLE Henry lluiigert Shoots Three Times, at K. IS. HIcMer One llullet I nil lets ti Flesh Wound Over The Highf Kye. Angered because his former wife. Marguerite Bangert, recently secured a divorce, and later leased the family ranch to K. B. (Hester, Henry Bail ee it of Galesvllle, this mouing at tempted to murder the latter aa he was kindling a lire in the kitchen of his home, about seven miles south of Glendale. Uangert fired three shots through an open window, one of which struck Hiester over the right eye and inflicted a painful flesh wound. The other shots went wild, and the bullets were later recovered in the woodwork in close range to where Hiester was standing at the time the shots were fired. Bangert was divorced from 'his wife several months ago, and the farm was in her name. She later leased the raiu;h to Hiester, who has resided there for the past few mouths. As soon as Hangert learned that 1 leister had sained possession of the farm he fin met) lately com menced to cause trouble, and upon various occasions threatened Hiester with bodily harm in the event he in sisted upon remaining In that local ity. Only a few days ago Mr. Hies ter returned to the farm after a few hours spent at Glendalo lo find the gate nailed and a notice posted on the fence reading as follows: 'Warning The people who live In this place must leave in three days." Hiester paid no attention to the warning, however, considering Ban gert a harmless and Inoffensive fel low without nerve to execute his threats. Other than annoying H fee ler, Bangert has caused his divorced wife no end of trouble of late, and upon several occasions he was threatened with arrest. While Intox icated, Bangert would frequently visit her home, at Glendale, and demand admittance. Upon her refusal to open the door he would curse and threaten her with death. It is the general belief of the of 3cers that Bangert laid in wait for Hiester with a view of killing him us he entered the kitcneh of his home In the early morning. Such a theory is substantiated by the cfrcu instances surrounding the shooting. As soon as news of the attempted murder was received at Glendale. Deputy Sheriff Thomas Lawaon left for the Hiester home. Later he was joined by Sheriff George Quine, oi Roseburg. who departed for Glendale on the early southbound train. Ban-'l gert was captured without great dif-l Acuity, and taken to Glendale where! he was given a preliminary hearing j before Justice of the Peace Charles j Null late this afternoon. Bangert i appears little affected, and does not ; seem to fully realize the seriousness, of the crime. Bangert will be brought here this evening from Glendalo to await dis position at the hands of the grand Jury in November. Hiester is said to be. resting easy this afternoon and the attending physician believes that he will re cover rapidly. Charged Willi Cruelty.

In May, nearly five months later, she was granted a decree by Judge J. W. Hamilton and awarded the custody of the minor children.

Bowden, Maker Local capitalists interested in the construction of a railroad from Hoseburg to Marsh field are elated over the announce ment in this morning's issue of the Portland Oregonian to the effect that the Harrlman inter ests expect to construct a line between Eugene and the coast In the near future. They claim that the Harrlman interests are somewhat disturbed over the persistency of Francis Clarke and his associates in behalf of the Roseburg-Marshfield road. and that the published an- nouncement is merely a threat 4 upon tne part of the S. P. Company. They have little faith in the report, further than ad- mining that the Southern Ua- cilic interests are frightened and will use every effort in block- tag any attempt that may he made in constructing a railroad from Roseburg to the coast. One well known capitalist re- marked this morning: "I con- slder the Harrlman announce- 'ment as a bluff, and I have no faith, whatever, In the sincerely of Mr. O'Brien or his associates. I believe they are convinced that the Roseburg-iMarshfleld- Boige Hue is a go, and In order to protect their own interests caused the announcement to be published." Another capitalist, and a man who is vitally inter- ested In the construction of the Roseburg-Murshtleld road bhWH "1 am not in a position to be quoted at this time, but you can say that the Harrlman an- nouncement will he considered lightly by persons who are In touch with the contemplated line west from Roseburg.
