Captured At Whitmore

CAPTURED AT WHITMORE

For the attempt to murder Albert Pierce.

William Schlossmaker, the Webster farmer who is wanted for an assault with intent to murder Albert Pierce, was arrested Friday noon by Deputy Sheriff Frank Munger at Whitmore Lake.

The trouble which Schlossmaker finds himself in grew out of a dispute over his charging Pierce with making certain derogatory remarks about a woman of the neighborhood. A fight ensured and Schlossmaker ran back to his buggy, got a revolver, shot it and escaped.

Pierce claims that Schlossmaker intended to shoot him but the ball went above the mark.

Deputy Sheriff Munger had a description of the man and found him in Rauschenberger's saloon at Whitmore this noon. He placed him under arrest. Schlossmaker did not resist but remarked to Mr. Raushenberger that he wished he had run.

In bringing him to this city Schlossmaker made the claim to Mr. Munger that he simply shot the revolver in the air to scare Pierce and that he had no intention of hitting him. He has employed Cavanaugh & Wedemeyer to defend him.
