KARTCHNER CONNECTION:

Interestingly enough, Levi Ward Hancock's son Mosiah Lyman Hancock (son of wife Clarissa Reed) married Margaret McCleve, who ties in to my husband's side of the family. Margaret's father was John McCleve and her mother Nancy Jane McFerren.  Margaret's brother was Alexander Gilmore McCleve, and her niece was Emma Cecelia McCleave who married Byrtle Gale Kartchner.

    Dick Gordon, 17-year-old high school boy, was arraigned in the juvenile court this morning on a charge of shooting the bullet that caused a wound in the foot of Miss Verna Davidson, the school teacher, at the Classicalia. Young Gordon, who admitted that he might have fired the shot, entered a plea of not guilty. He stated that he carried a .32 caliber revolver to the funciton and had a quantity of loaded shells in his belt, but claimed that he had been given a handful of blanks by Charles Gutke, another school boy who is now in Idaho. When Gordon was arraigned, Judge Sullivan asked him if he had ever fired shots from the window of a classroom....

    Suit Rejected, Salesman Kills Girl and Self

    Douglas Ariz, June 29.--Following a rejection of marriage, William F. Smith, employed in the men's furnishings department of a local store, late last night shot and killed Miss Thelma Gutke, 17 year old girl, also employed as a cashier in the same store. As the girl fell, Smith turned the weapon on himself. A bullet entered his heart and he fell dead on the pavement beside his companion.

    Smith is said to have proposed to several girls during the past few months. His home is in West Virginia. A companion of the dead girl said Miss Gutke was "going with" Smith because he was the only man her father would permit her to keep company with.

    Mrs. Carl Gutke, mother of the dead girl, left for Salt Lake City several days ago to visit relatives there. Miss Gutke was to follow next month.

    Jury Trial in the Police Court

    The Ogden Standard, September 23, 1913

    It required most of the morning for the prosecution to introduce its testimony in the case of the city against Oscar J. Gutke, charged with striking Herbert L. Herrington, and the defense is introducing testimony this afternnon in Judge W. H. Reeder's court. The complaint charges that on September 18, Oscar J. Gutke struck H. L. Herrington several times with his fists.

    According to the testimony introduced this morning, the trouble occurred when a switch engine bumped into a train of cars that were being unloaded near the Utah Canning company plant. William C. Long, a can inspector, told Gutke, the switchman, that the cars should not be bumped without giving warning. When Gutke stated that he had given warning, Herrington contradicted Gutke and the switchman struck Herrington after first telling him to take off his glasses and step off to one side.

    The jury consists of G. Syphers, Dan Munson, J. G. Hill and Sam Fenstermaker.

    Oscar Gutke found not guilty in court case

    The Ogden Standard, September 24, 1913 


    Jury Says Gutke Is Not Guilty

    Oscar Gutke was found not guilty of the charge of striking H. L. Herrington by the jury in the case, the hearing of which required practically all yesterday in Judge W. H. Reeder's court. The verdict was reached late yesterday afternoon after the jury had deliberated but a few minutes.

    The testimony of the prosecution was to the effect that Gutke had struck Herrington several times when the two had engaged in a dispute resulting from the switching of some cars on a siding near the Utah Canning Plant, September 18. According to the testimony of Herrington and William Long, a can inspector, a switch engine had bumped into some cars on the siding. Gutke claimed that warning had been given and Herrington contradicted him.

    The argument of the defense was that Herrington had provoked Gutke by cursing him and that the uncomplimentary names given to Gutke by Herrington enraged the switchman. Gutke also claimed that Herrington seized him by the coat before he struck.

    Impressive Services Held Over Remains of a Noble Woman.

    Deeply impressive services were held at the Waterloo meetinghouse yesterday afternoon, commencing at 1 o’clock, over the remains of Mrs. Johanna Gutke, mother of Mrs. Julia Brixen. The chapel was tastefully draped in white for the occasion, and many friends met with the bereaved family to pay tributes of respect to a good and noble woman. Counselor Joseph J. Danes, Jr., presided, and a quartet composed of Mrs. Lizzie Thomas-Edward, Miss Mabel Cooper, Thomas Ashworth and Moroni Thomas sang, “I Need Thee Every Hour,” and “Shall We Meet Beyond the River.” “The Beautiful City” and “Some Time, Somewhere” were rendered as solos by Mr. Ashworth and Mrs. Edward; John McFarland and C.A. Carlquist offered the opening and closing prayers, respectively.
                Sylvester Low, Jr., of Smithfield, where Mrs. Gutke resided for many years and where she was greatly beloved; L. Dahlquist, who had known the deceased in her native Sweden many years ago; President Nephi L. Morris, President Frank Y. Taylor, Patriarch Angus M. Cannon and Bishop Ashael H. Woodruff were the speakers, and each of them told of the noble qualities of heart and mind possessed by Mrs. Gutke and her devotion to the gospel of the Redeemer.
                A long line of carriages followed the remains to the city cemetery, and in addition a special car carried a number of friends to the place of interment. At the grave the quartet sang, “Rest on the Hillside, Rest,” and the grave was dedicated by Elder Louis A. Kelsch.  The body was laid to rest beside the remains of her husband, who died some 17 years ago, and near the remains of her son-in-law, “Andy” Brixen.
                Of Mrs. Gutke’s children, there were present Mrs. Julia Brixen, Fred and Oscar Gutke. Two daughters, Mrs. Mary Wilcox and Mrs. A.H.

    11-year-old George Gutke dies in shooting accident

    Boy Killed By Companion
    Didn't Know the Old Gun Was Loaded.

    George Gutke the Victim
    Joe Murray Fired the Fatal Shot.

    While playing yesterday afternoon with an old rusty shotgun, not supposed to be loaded, George Gutke, an 11-year-old boy, was accidentally shot and killed in Camp lane, over the Jordan, by Joe Murray, a 10-year-old companion. The entire load of shot from a 12-bore gun entered the lad's left shoulder, grinding the bone to fragments and burying itself in the chest. He lived for forty-five minutes in terrible agony, but before a physician could get to the scene of the accident, death relieved the sufferer of his agony. The scene after the shooting was heart rending. Young Murray, realizing what he had done, threw his arms about the form of his dying companion and moaned as though his heart would break until some men forced him away.

    The accident occurred about 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon at the residence of Martin Murray in Camp lane, beyond the Jordan river. Young Gutke and his brother, who live further down the lane, were visiting young Murray and were playing in the yard, the Murray family being away from home. The shotgun, a rusty weapon with one barrel broken, had been stowed away in the coal shed in the yard and was supposed to be empty. While playing about the shed, young Gutke, it is said, took the gun and sat down by the shed to look at it.

    Snapped the Gun.
    "I took the gun away from him," said young Murray, "and not knowing that it was loaded I snapped it." Murray said that he did not notice that Gutke was in front of the gun, but unfortunately the boy was within two feet of the muzzle, and as he leaned forward, the whole load went through his shoulder, burying itself in his chest.

    With the cry, "O, my God, don't," the lad fell over, apparently unconscious, with the blood streaming from his shoulder. Dropping the gun, young Murray threw his arms about his dying companion and moaned in agony until some carpenters who were working on the Murray house ran and took him away.

    The wounded boy was carried in the house and a messenger was dispatched for Dr. Wright, while another notified the parents of the two boys.  Young Gutke suffered great agony for forty-five minutes, but died before Dr. Wright could arrive. The news of his death almost prostrated the mother and sister and the father hung over the form of his child, sobbing in pitiful grief. Dr. Wright, after examining the body and investigating the circumstances, stated that there would be no necessity for an inquest and the body was removed to the undertaking parlors of Joseph William Taylor.

    An examination of the shotgun showed that the shell which had been discharged had evidently been left in the gun for a long time, as it had rusted to the barrel.

    The victim of the accident is a son of A. F. Gutke, a blacksmith employed by the Rio Grande railroad.
