FATAL SHOOTING AFFAIR
One Man Killed and Two Fatally Injured in Colorado
Winfield, Col., Sept. 1 -- In a revolver and rifle duel on Main street here Gus Sjostron, a miner, was killed, Sim Amsdon, also a miner, was shot through the left breast and mortally wounded, and Chaucey Bennett, a bartender, was shot in the groin and perhaps fatally wounded. The shooting was the direct result of Amsdon's jealousy of the attention paid by Andy Maloy, a young miner, to Amy Bitts. Amsdon, armed with a rifle, went on a hunt for Maloy. He saw his rival on the street and fired two shots at him. Neither reached its mark and Maloy escaped. Sjostron later attempted to make peace between the two men, Amsdon resented the intergerence and the shooting followed. Bennet was an innocent bystander.
