We learn from the Mail Agent who arrived
on the St. Louis train on Saturday night ut
11:3o, that Williams is not dead, and that lie
will probably recover. The bali entered his
face just below The cheek bone and passed down
through his jaw, making bad wound, but not

motive for committing the deed was also uu-

passed reads rs follows:
