| Headline | Man Arrested in Gun Fight |
| Text | A report from Elsey says Deputy Sheriff Wes Spears had to shoot a man Saturday evening to arrest him. He had a warrant for one Bob Bland for assault on a son of Bent May. When Spears went to get Bland the latter commenced shooting and shot four times at Spears, the aim was bad, and then Spears plugged him once though the arm. This took some of the fight out of Bland, and he was taken to Galena. Crane Chronicle |
