There was another man present named
Moriarity, a saloon keeper OF that part
OF town. While Belle Watson may not
die, her sy mptoms are not in favor Of re-

wounded woman and probed for the ball,
but did not find it.. She does not think
she is going to die, but her attendants told
the doctor that she had been splitting

Anaconda has been afflicted with more
than her share OF these shooting affairs and
several have been fatal. 1t is now about
time to give that part Of the city where this
shooting occurred q thorough purging, not
of the residents alone, but more particu-

going to those colored dens and even living
with their inmates, they should be given a
very short time in which to leave the city
and then be shown the way that they may
not get turned about and come back again.
Jesse Stuart is in the lookup awaiting the
final result OF Belle Watson's wounds.
