three pistol shots 1t her, the first one of
which struck steel RIB in her corset, and
glanced off: the second Cut her apron strings
behind. and the third buzzed i,er ear. The
ChinsmaD. tuppOsing he bad killed his vic.
tim, shot himself dead. That was the story.
There was another side to it. A strong sus.
piclon exists among the neighbors and those
who knew the Duts,is family. tbxt old Du>
b"is killed the Chinsman, and that he and
his wife and the two girls made up the story.
The mark on the steel rib Of the corset looks
AS If II had been made with knife instead
Of a bullet. The covering is cut with =
blade, but the metal is not grszed.
The Dubois women at the inquest said
that the Chinaman's attack on the girl was
made about noon, when Dubois was away
from home. Shots were heard by others
early in the morning when Dubois was At
home, and none were heard by the same
persons in the same place st noon. They
tell story that Dubois hsd hired man to
whom he owed 5000 for services some years
ago. The man was caught in suspicious
position with his eldest daughter, and the
ptWr man agreed to settle with the ,rrate
father by giving him receipt for all the
money owing him. Neighbors think that af>
fair was prcconcertcd by Dubois and the
girl. The Chinsman just dead, has been
with him six years, and Dubois owed him
