The Wilmette police are searching for George Baumeuller of Gross Point, who is charged with shooting and probably fatally wounding his brother-in-law, Rudolph De Groot, following a quarrel at the home of his mother, Mrs. John De Groot, on Tuesday evening. According to Herman De Groot, a brother of the wounded man, who was an eye-witness to the shooting, Rudolph had been called to protect his mother from Baumeuller. After a few words, Baumeuller is said to have ordered De Groot from the house, and, in order to get him out, he is said to have reached for a shot- gun which belonged to Herman, and shot Rudolph. The bullets lodged in the hip of De Groot and he was dragged from the house by his younger brother to some neighbors, who called for a doctor and the police in Wilmette. The wounded man was taken to. .the St. Francis hospital in Evanston, and the attending physicians have slight hope for his recovery. Following the shooting, Baumeuller took the shotgun and a box of cart- ridges and left the house. Mrs. John De Groot swore out a search warrant before Police Magistrate E. P. Dun- shee, and the police were ordered to find Baumeuller. * The police searched the house in which the shooting occurred and then retired to wait for the fugitive's return. Believing he had hidden in a corn field near the house, two po- licemen were detailed to wait until morning and then search for him there. A number of citizens, armed with rifles, helped the police keep the all-night vigil and to make the search in the morning. The search which followed in the morning disclosed an empty box of cartridges and fresh foot prints. The police of Chicago and the north shore towns were notified of the shooting and a description of Baumeuller was furnished them. Rudolph De certified and ordered to report to the Rockford cantonment with the first draft quota. He is 28 years old, and has conducted a teaming business in Gross Point. Ee Rob Zabel Home.
