Frank Doty brakeman, was shot
and instantly killed at Evart by Seymour
Baily, son of farmer living near Sears.
The murder was the result of bar-room
row, in which half a dozen persons were
concerned. Baily belonged to a crowd of
country boys who had been drinking. On
starting for home the country boys were
set upon by a gang of city hoodlums,
among whom was Doty. Taking to their
heels, the country boys escaped, except
Seymour and George Baily. Doty, coming
upon them, Knocked Seymour down and
kicked him brutally about the body. Sey-
mour, who was beastly drunk, hereupon
pulled a revol yer and fired twice, one shot
tearing through Dotys head above the left
ear, the other above the tight eye. Pierced
by the two balls, Doty fell dead in his
tracks. Baily was soon after arrested at
his fathers homo. He will plead self
defense. He is about 20 years of age.

the findings that the scrip locations are

Messrs. NJ. j. Finn and j. NJ. Case Oh

to win for the pluck exhibited.
