miles south of Liberal, the new town i'm

was under bonds of 81 800. Since going
to Beer City he had been dissipated and
quarrelsOme. and at an early hour he
made the rounds of the town, swinging
his gun over his head and evidently
bent on creating a disturbance. He
met his fate in front of his own house.

two loads of buckshot entered his body,
his death must have been instantaneous.
