keeper. Pierce had been warned and had
been called with party of men to the as.

man. kellers had previously attempted
to arrest Lewis on q charge preferred by
Ii. 4. Sherwin of the Mitchell Naiz.
Lewis kept a low dive and had been en-
gagged in several shooting affrays. Pierce
was good citizen, quiet and inofensive.
Lewis is in Jail and SherWin under $500
bail to await the action of the grand jury.
The coroner's jury returned verdict to
the effect that it was a clear case of pre-
meditated murder. Great excitement pre-
walls, and fears of mob violence were en-
tertained, but the town has now quieted
