s9@Tuesday,t the remains of Free West,
the man who was shot on Saturday al
| "A Il
cemetery. The affair has caused consid-
cradle comment here and public opinion
seems strongly in favor of Morton. The
act was justi6able-at least as far as the
evidence appears.

paper. Although the shooting Of Free

Twas not until this morning that any ac-
count Of the affair appeared iu that paper
and then it was so mixed up as to be un
reliable. The idea of Morton's back beins
burned to ''crispl' Enterprise and the
Gazette are strangers.
