Peculiar Origin of the Movement

Cursory Investigating and probing
hnve failed to disclose the exact loca
tion of the bullet which lodged In the
hip of Lon Dotson, a South Union res
ident, who was brought to La Grande
on last night's train after a sbooting
affray at Union precipitated, It is said
by the action of Dotson and a strang
er trying to affect entrance Into the
home of L. P. Kirby presumably for
burglary purposes. Dotson is still In
the hospital' but his condition will
likely not become at all serious. He Is
under arrest. . ; ,, -',
, Klrby Not Arrested.
'.. Union,: Jan. 18, (Special) L. Pv
Kirby who admits having shot at and
bit Lon Dotson of South Union last
night, is at liberty today and probably
will not be prosecuted. , He asserts
that he opened fire on two would-be
burglars and that he shot to kill and
the officials find tracks In the snow
about the home that appear to sub-1
stantlnte Kirby's assertions. The oth
er man is still at large and if officers
know his Identity, they do not admit
it. When the shooting occurred Mar
shal Huffman loft Tils home In South
Union and Btepped to his veranda from
where he saw a man passing. Indicat
ing that he had been at the scene of
the Bhootlng but If Ills identity was
known to Huffman, he does not Indi
cate It. t
Investigation today discloses that
Dotson hnd been drinking during the
evening prior to the shooting, but was
not believed to be much affected by
it. .
, A touch of mystery Is added by tho
assertions of Dotson. Soon after tho
shooting, thut he lias no remembrance
of having tried to burlarlze any home,
qnd offers the Information that he
waB going home when, as near as ho
can remember, someone jumped upon
him from a dark alley or a wooapue.
Other than this he claims to have no
recollection of what occurred. Kirby's
story Is that there were two men and
that when the lire arms were cut loose
Dotson alone was hit while the other
man fled. Officers evidently believe
Klrby for they have made no effort to
arrest him.
The bullet lodged In the hip and
Dotson was taken to La Grande short
ly afterward to be given treatment In
the hospital there.
Dotson crawled to the home of Mr.
Brown before giving the alarm that he
was shot.
