Sam Nay came to town Tuesday and gave the following account of the shooting of Charley Parker in the northwest part of this county last Monday. Sheriff Lot Ravencraft, of Clarke county, Kansas, accompanied by Curly Bill and Sam Nay, were endeavoring to capture Charley Parker, who is accused of stealing cattle. Parker took shelter in the house of a man named Murphy and the officers surrounded the house and ordered him to surrender. He replied with a shot from his winchester, which killed Curly Bill’s horse. The officers returned the fire, and the result is that Parker now lies wounded in the shoulder, though the wound is not considered dangerous.
