and that his body was on the
way to st. Louis. Mrs. Gibson,

false communicated with the Coroner of
Fort Worth, who satisfied her that she
was not yet widow. There had been
bad blood between Gibson and John Buf-
fington, husband of Gibsons step-daugh
ter: also between Gibson and Arthur
aud Eugene Mulholland, step-sons OF
Gibson. Tonight while the family was
quietly at supper with the boarc-
ers, Gibson appeared in the flesh,
entered the dining room with drawn
pistol and opened fire on Burlington.
The first shot missed him and struck
Arthur Mulholland's shoulder, the ball
lodging in his neck. The second shot
struck Buiiinton's left arm. Gibson
then turned the weapon on himself with
good success, putting ball through his
head. Gibson is dying, Builinton will
die ahd Mulholland may recover. The
shooting took place in the presence of a
dozen people, amidst the greatest con-
sternation.
