Wheeler returned into the kitchen,
but instead of bringing the coffee
he brought a six shooter, and looking at
Allison, who was seated at the head of the
table, said:
"You are the son of b. h who intends
killing me-"
He Immediately fred, and Allison arose
from his seat, but only to fall back dead.

but little is known as regards their previ-
Gus character.
