Henry A. Plaque amused himself al
San Puebla, California, yesterday, by
shooting and killing Simon Smith, and
few hours afterward the enraged citi-
zens were toying with the shootist, as a
schoolboy would a June-bug, except
that the boy would fasten the String to
the bugs leg, but the indignant people
chose the murderer's neck, and hemp
en- cord. The constable, however, per-
suaded the citiSens TO allow the law to
take its course In the case, which better
counsel finally prevailed, and the shoot
ist was turned over to the officers and
lodged in prison.
