Vanderburg Died Last Night In Hospital Here Wounds Received by No. 9 Farmer When Shot Tues day Night at Home of Mar tin Bost Proved Fatal. BOST ToTIEAB SELF DEFENSE He Makes No Statement But It Is Understood From Re port That He Charges Van derburg Attacked Him. Jes;se Vanderburg, farmer of No. 0 township, who was shot Tuesday night at the home of Martin Bost, his neigh bor. died in the Concord Hospital last night. Bost. who surrendered to Sheriff i Caldwell yesterday morning, is being held jin the county jail. Vanderburg never fully recovered from the effects of the two wounds winch he received in the shooting. One bullet passed through his right* leg and the oth- j er entered the-chest just under the chin, j passed through the right lung, pierced file third right rib and lodged in the right arm near the elbow. This bullet, it was determined at the autopsy which was performed by Coroner Joe A. Hart sell, b:oke Vanderburg's" light a rip, it being believed before the autopsy that the arm had been broken when the wounded man fell Bost has made no statement so far. it is said, and Vanderburg died without giving any light on the cause of the shooting. Bost does not deny the shoot ing. and it is reported that he claims self defense. Coroner Ilartsell. Sheriff Caldwell and a representative of The Tribune and The Times visited the Bost home this morn ing but they were not able to gather any facts that had not already been brought to light. They were told by persons at the Bost home that Bost shot when Van derburg attacked him with an axe. The axe was found lying near the back porch of the home where Vanderburg's body was found Tuesday night. The officers also detected two small blood spots on the porch but they were unable to find any other signs of blood. They made the search for the blood, it is believed, with the idea of establishing where the shooting occurred. It was reported that the officers were not able to find any traces of blood near the porch. iWj; rsioiL«vf ?!*. >■ - 0111* hero is" that’lßosl was standing on the porch when Vanderburg approached. % Vander burg received the bullets while on the ground and staggered to the porch, ac cording to this version. There were no eye witnesses to the tragedy, so far as is known, but several persons who have been questioned declared Bost told them Vanderburg attempted to cut him with the axe. After making the investigation at the j Bost home this morning Coroner Hart- | sell summoned a number of witnesses to i be examined this afternoon at the cor- | oner’s inquest. The inquest was called j for 2 o’clock this afternoon at the Bell & Harris parlors where Vanderburg's body was carried last night. . While Bost has made no statement it is generally understood that he will en ter a plea of self-defense. His lawyers j also declined to the case with a ; newspaper man this morning. But there is every reason to believe that he will stake his defense on the claim that Vanderburg threatened him with the axe. When Sheriff Caldwell first started an investigation he could find no one who was willing to talk, but dur ing yesterday and today, it is said, a number of persons have volunteered the information that Bost shot Vanderburg as the latter approached with an axe. It I is generally supposed that Bost told those j facts to these persons. Vanderburg (lied without making a statement of any kind so far as is known. If the dead man said any thing to clear up the matter the officers have not made it public. Vanderburg is survived by his wife, several children and other close rela tives. , ' The case has furnished the topic of conversation for hundreds of persons dur ing the past two days. Tdttle groups of persons have been seen standing arpund the court house and in every in stance they were discussing the case. Every one has a solution to offer, but it seems certain now that nothing definite will be brought out until Bost takes the stand,'either _at a preliminary hearing or when the case is called in Superior Court. The coroner's jury is expected to ren der a verdict charging Bost with the killing, and in that case he probably will be held in jail without bond. It is also intimated in well informed circles that he probably will waive a prelimin -1 ary hearing, as He does not intend to fight the charge that he shot Vander burg At such a hearing he could only be bound over to court for if he plead self defense, as lie is expected to do, the j magistrate at the preliminary hearing could not have jurisdiction. * John M Oglesby has been retained to I assist the State with the prosecution and the defense has retained Crowell and Crowell and Hartsell and Ilartsell. Funeral .services for the deceased will be held tomorrow morning at 11 o’clock at Cold Springs Church. First reports of the shooting were brought to Concord about 9:30 Tuesday night when neighbors of Vanderburg and Bost came to Concord for an ambulance. L A. Weddington and M. M.

Sheriff Caldwell searched the Bost home and barn and scoured the woods ucar the home until 2:30 yesterday morning but was unable to find a trace of the man he was seeking. Neighbors declared they had seen Bost at the house • after the shooting, which occurred about (lusk dark, but they did not know where he had gone. One neighbor told Sheriff Caldwell, however, it is said, that Bost would sur render Wednesday, so Sheriff Caldwell returned to Concord. The neighbor’s statement proved correct for Bost came to the court house at 8 o'clock that morn ing and surrendered to the sheriff. He was immediately placed in jail. It seems certain now that none of the particulars leading up to the shooting will be known until Bost is given a hearing. When questioned in the local jail Wednesday by a representative of The Times Bost refused to talk, de claring “I’ll wait until they get me in court before I say anything.” He asked Sheriff Caldwell to send his lawyer to him at once. Sheriff Caldwell declared that Van derburg refused to discuss the shooting. Neighbors who questioned the wounded man also declared lie would not discuss the case with them. He declined to tell Sheriff Caldwell who shot him, mutter ing. “I can't talk.” Bost appeared to be very calm when questioned in jail. He showed no anxie ty over his own fate and made no men- j tion of Vanderburg until Sheriff Caldwell advised him that his stay in jail would be determined by Vanderburg’s wounds. He then asked, “How is he? The prisoner also expressed anxiety over his farm and live stock. There is no one at home to look after things, he said, and he asked Sheriff Caldwell to send Frank Smith, a neighbor, in to see him. Vanderburg was shot with a special 38-calibre pistol. The bullet in his chest narrowly missed his jugular vein. The bullet that struck him in the leg passed entirely through the member. Vanderburg. according to one report had been at the Bost home since Mon day night. His sons had been at the Bost home Monday tyght playing musi cal instruments and when they left he decided to spend the night, it is said. He was there throughout Tuesday, it is reported, and the fact that the trouble occurred late in the day makes the case more puzzling. Just what caused the men to quarrel after a night and day spent together is the question Sheriff Caldwell hopes to be able to answer soon. Bost lives alone and his home is one of the most modern looking in No. 9 town ship. He owns rauch valuable land. So far as is known the men have had no previous quarrel or misunderstand ing.

Xew T York, Sept. 17. —“If the election was held today, no candidate would have a majority in the electoral col lege,’’ Clem L.

Chairman Shaver, who was about to depart for Chicago to consult with the mid-Western managers of the Davis- Bryan campaign, said he did not believe the people wanted to be fed with the usual “fool predictions” which emanate from headquarters. Mr. Shaver made the statement in response to questions by a group of news pnperment concerning his judg ment of the present situation. When Mr. Shaver was asked to elaborate on his reply, lie said lie could not do so now without “making state ments that might be misunderstood.” “There is no doubt of the strength of the La Follette-Whoeler movement in certain States,” he" asserted, “and whether or not. 'this movement will grow’ or decline is a contingency that cannot be determined, but which must be con sidered. So far as we can ascertain, it is cutting into the Republican vote in the States President Coolidge must carry to be sure of election.” AVIATORS OFF TODAY FOR MUSKOGEE, OKLA.

Sept. 18.—The ness interests of Missouri, who alway have their eyes open to the main chance w’hen it comes to politics, are now con ducting their operations on the assump tion that John XV. Davis will carry the State next November and that the entire Democratic State ticket will be elected. Significant as was the outpouring Monday in honor of the candidate for President and Governor on the lonely farm of Dr. Arthur W. Nelson, near Bunceton. this attitude of the people with money, who w’ant to make more money, means a good deal more. In his talks Monday with the leaders of his party,. the Democratic nominee was told that he and Dr. Nelson, the gubernatorial candidate, will carry the State by at least 40.000. These leaders represented all shades of Democratic opinion. The Republicans are also sensing the situation. Their State leaders have sent a hurried call to their national head quarters both in New Y’ork and Chicago, warning that unless President Coolidge personally comes into the State ami does something to offset the swing to La Fol lette the State is going to be lodged in the Democratic column next November.
