Adams and In q short while went down to
Urozier,s saloon, and Hike Burns came In

and turning our gaze down the street we
saw the crowd rushing TO the Glen Lea
saloon and he said let's go down

OF pistols and the shots were very fast
We walked down until we got to the new
building going up and l walked across the
oists on narrow plank 70 ths rear van 0,
whether Richardson went that way
or not. When | got to the, rear
wall Of the building saw a man laying
