Argument ends in gun play
Jack Robinson, proprietor of Miami Hotel, hit in hip, and Mat Young, tenant, has wound in abdomen - latter in serious condition - Hiram Farmer admits doing shooting and Claims self-defense.

As a result of an argument in the rear room of the Miami Hotel, Park and B street, early this afternoon, Mat Young, tenant of that place, and Jack Robinson, proprietor of the Hotel are in care of physicians suffering from shot wounds, and Hiram Farmer, 813 Second Street, this city, is in custody of the police charged with shooting with intent to kill.

Those who were in the hotel at the time of the shooting stated that the three men were in a rear room of the place but a short while when shots were heard.

Immediate call for police brought Officer Addison to the place and Farmer was place under arrest.

Robinson and Young were taken to the Mercy Hospital in the patrol ambulance; the former shot in the hip, a severe fracture being sustained, and Young shot in the abdomen.

Investigation by police at the hotel indicated, police say, that at least three shots were fired, as one bullet was lodged in a partition of the wall. The shooting was, according to police, done with a 48-calibre revolver.

After being taken to police headquarters, Farmer gave his name as H. F. Farmer, residence 813 Second street, and stated that he formerly was watchman.

Officer Neidermann of the local force stated that Farmer was reluctant to talk. Neidermann stated Farmer said that he (Farmer) was in a rear room of the hotel and that Robinson and Young attacked him. Farmer claimed that one of the men fired a shot at him.

Mercy hospital official stated that Young's condition is probably serious. Dr. Mark Millikin has charge of the patient. No information was given regarding the condition of Robinson.

Tenants of the Miami Hotel failed to give any information regarding the shooting. Robinson has been proprietor of the hotel for some time and Young has been living there for three weeks.

Detectives of the local department are working on the case.

Later Farmer broke the silence which possessed him shortly after time of arrest and gave out the following statement regarding the affair in the police.

He admits that he shot Young in self-defense but states he does not remember shooting Robinson. He claimed he merely stopped in the hotel as he was passing and claims that Young and Robinson started after him. He claims that Young drew a gun. Farmer showed a mark to the police on his coat where he claimed Young shot him.

Farmer also had a cut on his face. He stated that Robinson hit him.

To Police Chief Stricker Farmer stated that he did not attempt to evade arrest but that he presented himself to Officer Addison.

The Journal News, Hamilton, Ohio. Monday, 3 November 1919

Shooting was over $11 sale. Victims of gun fight are not out of danger. Self-defense is Farmer's claim.
Police say two shots were fired and both by man under arrest.

The condition of Matt Young and John Robinson, the two men shot by H. F. Harmer at the Miami Hotel Monday afternoon, was reported as fair at Mercy Hospital today, but neither an d especially Young have passed the danger line.

The weapon used by Farmer was a 45 calibre Colt's revovlvor carrying a heavy ball. The bullet that struck Young entered to the right of the navel, ranged backward and it is thot passed thru the stomach, came out at the right hip and imbedded itself in a nearby wall where it was dug out and recovered by the police.

Robinson was shot in the left hip and the bullet was not located early today.

Argument over sale.
The police say, as a result of their investigation, that the trouble occurred over a sale transaction between Farmer and Robinson involving H. Farmer and his son-in-law James Jones, went to the hotel in a taxicab and Farmer at once started an argument with Robinson when they me t in the wash room in the rear. Young tried to act as peacemaker and to restrain Farmer from violence. But Farmer drew his pistol, shot Young and then Shot Robinson, the police are told.

Farmer's claims.
Farmer claims that Young first shot at him, which Young and Robinson deny and that he shot in self-defense and he points to his powder burned coat as proof that Young fired at him. But the police are positive that only two shots were fired, both by Farmer, that Farmer himself shot at Young thru his coat and when he was disarmed after his arrest tow empty shells were found in his pistol and four loaded cartridges.

Farmer is 34 years old and came here some time ago from Manchester, Clay County, Kentucky. Young boarded at the Miami Hotel of which Robinson is the proprietor.

Farmer is charged with shooting with intent to kill and is held without bond pending the outcome of Young and Robinson's wounds.

The Journal News, Hamilton, Ohio. Tuesday, 4 Nov 1919.

Shooting victims are recovering.

The condition of Matt Young and John Robinson, victims of the Miami hotel shooting affray Monday afternoon, was reported as fairly well at Mercy Hospital today. Farmer is now in jail pending a hearing later.

The Journal News, Hamilton, Ohio. Wednesday, 4 November 1919.

Another shooting scrape.
Former watchman of the Niles Tool Works runs wild.

What is likely to prove a murder occurred on last Monday shortly after the noon hour at the Miami Hotel, North B street and Park avenue, when H. F. Farmer, a former watchman employed at the Niles Tool Works Company, shot two men, John Robinson and Matt Young. Bother wounded men were taken to Mercy Hospital. Young is said to be in a serious condition and is likely to die. Farmer is being held until the extent of the injuries of the two men is determined.

Farmer was employed at the Niles Tool Works as watchman until two weeks ago at which time a number of the men employed as watchmen at the big plant were laid off, no doubt because it was thought that the near-molders might now be trusted not to hurt each other. At least it is thought that that was the purpose of employing guards at the big plant. At least no other reason can be thought of.

The Butler County Press, Hamilton, Ohio. Friday, 7 November 1919.
