has been an active anti-Dunnell man and

tempted assassination will, quite possibly,be
traced to some of Dunnell's enraged office

Pages course, with the emphasis of a shot
gun. If this had occurred in Southern

of the Republican patty. 1t is in accordance
with the teachings and policy of that organ

exit from the door that almost abuts on the
corner of Seventh and Jackson streets, heavy
pane of glass fell from the transom and strik-
him on the head he was felled to the floor.
portionsof the glsss cut its way through the
heavy material of the hat, and lodged in hia

blood spouted freely from cut artery. The

would have no doubt been great enough to
prove fatal. His injuries were dressed by DR..
