Oliver Garfield, a young man, embraced
Mrs. Mollie Gherken, his sweetheart, while
she stood at the gate talking to a friend,
and while she was in his arms he
sent a bullet into her brain. There was
no provocation. He had asked her to mar
ry him, but she refused ( because she was
not yet divorced from her husband. Since
then there have been talks of lynching,

the squadron of avengers, among whom
were some Of the city's most respected
men, moved through the darkness
to the Jail where Garfield covered

on. The stout doors were rent by the
heavy blows of a railroad bar. No resist

asked to make his peace with God, and

He faltered ty.th that he was sorry
he had killed the woman. He asked that
his mother be told that he failed to get the
forgiveness of God, and that he could not
meet her in Heaven. A card was pinned
onto his shirt-bosom, bearing these words:

Wolves and Mountain Lions,

The Denver News, of Feb. 6, says: j
E. Brown, who came in from inspecting
cattle along the Kansas Pacific, says that
the coyotes Of late have become very bold
being driven to it by hunger. The gem
tlemen saw large droyes of them roaming
about the prairie. While out few miles
from the railroad on Friday, being On
horseback, he witnessed very exciting
race between two coyotes and an ante
lope. He kept pretty well in sight Of the
trio, the coyotes holding their own with
the antelope, but were unable to over
take it. The antelope approached wire
fence and for some reason did not jump
it, but making sharp turn started in
diagonal course. This brought tile coys
otes considerably nearer and Seems
ingly encouraged, they gained rapidly, on
the antelope, finally o1ertakfag 1t. One
fastened itself on the hamstring and the
other set its teeth FIRMLY In the shoulder.
and soon succeeded in bringing the ante
lOpe down. While returning from the
scene Of this race Mr.. Brown saw pair
OF coyotes attack calf that became sep.
arated from the herd, and before he could
get to them they had succeeded in killing;
IL. Aa soon as the horse and rider had
gone a short distance the coyotes returned
aud began deyouring the calf. III
Mr. Brown said the wolves and noun.
tain lions were playing sad havoc among
young cattle that are not closely guarded.
Several instances were related where lions
had strayed down from the mountains.
being driven into the valleys BY hunger.
he says that during the past two months
he had seen large numbers of skeletons of
cattle TINT had been killed BY the fero-
Icious brltcs. 43ss
