About 6 o'clock Tuesday evening, September 11, Ira J. Whipple, who lives just over the line in Colorado, shot and almost instantly killed Ira Chaffee of Jaqua, near the state line, one mile west of the little town of Jaqua. This lamentable tragedy seems to have been the culmination of bad blood which has existed between the Chaffee family and the Whipple family for several months. "The stories told by the two sides of the unfortunate affair vary widely, but it is not our province nor present intention to enter into the merits of the case nor to say anything that might in any way interfere with a fair and impartial trial. "The weapon used was said to be a 40 Winchester. "Immediately after the tragedy Mr. Whipple came to St. Francis and surrendered himself to Sheriff Curry in whose custody he now is, no prosecution having as yet been commenced against him. E. Chaffee, father of the dead boy, is in town this afternoon and it is probable that an information will be lodged before he goes home. "Funeral services over the remains of the dead boy were conducted by Rev. Charles Kolsky at the family home at 3 o'clock Wednesday afternoon, interment being made in the Jaqua cemetery. The deceased was 23 years old and leaves a young wife and one child to mourn his tragic and untimely end." (Goodland Republic September 21, 1906 Page 3) ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
