OOPS! I goofed. This was in the Bloomington (IN) Weekly Courer, October
31, 1911, and NOT the November date noted previously.
SHOOTING AT SPENCER
Henry Baldwin, a farmer living about four miles north of Spencer, was shot
twice and probably fatally injured yesterday afternoon by his
brother-in-law, Homer Gantz. The shooting occured at the Baldwin home,
Gantz apparently having gone there to settle a former difficulty. Both
shots penetrated the breast and the physician gives small hope for
Baldwin's recovery.
Some time ago Gantz and his wife separated, the trouble between the two
arising out of Baldwin's association with Gantz's wife. Baldwin is now
under a surety of peace bond, the result of a suit Gantz filed against him
some time ago. Public sympathy is with Gantz.
Both men have several children. Gantz has not yet been placed under
arrest, and thus far no move has been made by the authorities to do
so. Gantz has never been in trouble before.
