existed between them about a gambling debt. On the evening named they met in the Southern portion of Main street, Undangrin | being on horse, ready to start for the Gia river. What passed between the two men | has not yet transpired, but 1t is said that Un- | dangrin was in the act of drawing his pistol | from his belt whereupon Moline drew his l own pistol and fired two shots at Undangrin, | both balls entering the chest and wounding | the lungs. He instantly fell from his horse to the ground, dead. Coroner Thayer was immediately advised of the occurrence, and summoned jury of inquest over the body. 4 verdict in accordance with the above facts was rendered. The accused gave himself up to Justice c. H. Meyers, who put him under bonds, for examination as soon as District Attorney McCAffry, (busily engaged in L. $. District Court, can attend thereto. Popular opinion, albeit, is, that the act was entirely justifable on the part of Molino But there are always two sides to such matters.
