Quarrel Over Road Scraper Ends in Murder
William Yahn, brother-in-law of George Edson, is jailed on murder charges after a Saturday afternoon dispute over a road scraper led to a fatal shooting on Edson’s farm near Lawrence. Edson died from a single gunshot wound as the men argued over ownership of the implement. A prior string of petty quarrels between the neighbors is noted, with Edson mortally wounding Yahn’s attempt to leave. Mrs Edson and bystanders assisted in restraining the assailant until Sheriff Cummings arrived. The case now proceeds in county jail.
