did not keep th.t kind of house. Detro
then offered Cation Eve dollars If he would
do it, but vas again refused.
The miner then got up and went to an
other saloon and was followed and watched
BY Cation. Aftervsrd the miner took .
freight train early Sunday morning and
went home, little dreaming of the danger
he had escaped.
The matter vas reported to Officer Gray
Sunday morning. and he saw Detro, Who
eyed him sospiciously. and acted as if he
vas endeavoring to escape. Gray colIlared
him. and upon being questioned Detro told
conflicting stories. Before being locked up
he waa searched and two night keys we're
found upon his person, both Of which TT
