Preliminary trial for Lizzie Shipman in shooting case
Lizzie Shipman faced a preliminary trial in Justice Hall for shooting Claude Thompson in the thigh and was bound over in a $50 bond to await the grand jury. Both parties were drunk. Claude Thompson appeared more guilty as he followed Shipman to her house. The wounded woman made two escape attempts but was guarded. She did not attend the trial and claimed incapacity from the wound. Peace warrants were sworn by both sides but dismissed with promises to leave the community.
