that Is cents would do. At this point he
said, . Who is that eoming?" and as she
looked he quickly drew a pistol and shot
her in the side AS she fell, fatally
wounded, her daughter, years of age;
screamed for help. The fiend then turned
upon the girl and attempted to shoot, but

tracted the attention of Mexican who was
employed at the place, who rushed in, and
graphing with the murderer, succeeded in

were fired at him, one of which probably
took effect in his leg, but he escaped. y
