Bannon's Wound May Prove Fatal
Condition of Man Shot By Stokes Clark Last Night Reported Critical

Mart Bannon, shot in the left shoulder in a fight at 129 West Washington avenue Saturday night, lies in a serious condition at the St. Anthony hospital where he was taken after the accident. Lige Gable, charged with killing Stoke Clark and wounding Bannon, is held in the county jail. Mrs. Nettie Keifer, the woman at whose hose the shooting occurred is held in the city jail as a witness, together with Buford Hayes, who went to the house with Bannon and the man who was killed.

Gable refused to talk of the shooting Sunday. She stated that he would not talk until the proper time and that then he would talk to the jury and the judge. He said, however, that the shooting was in self defense and that the men had come to the house to kill him.

No funeral arrangements have been made for Clark. He is being held at the Street & Draper morgue.
