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.
Investigation of the divorce rec
ords at the county clerk's office thN
afternoon reveals the fact that Mrs.
Marguerite Bangert, wlfo of the at
tempted mtiderer, filed u suit for di
vorce against her husband, Henr
Bangert, in the circuit court for
Douglas county in January, 1911. In
May, nearly five months later, she
was granted a decree by Judge J. W.
Hamilton and awarded the custody
of the minor children.
According to the complaint filed
by Mrs. Bangert at the time her do
mestic troubles first came into promi
nence, she and her husband wore
married in Germany In November,
1891. and came to the United States

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.
Personally. I am of the opinion
that the Harriman i-eople are
