ing permission for his association to

not go down with the angry stockhold-

on every side, but he held his own
against all corners. The probable out

W. I'll. Bawden, an old resident, died
suddenly yesterday after returning from
the barn, where he had been to feed
team of horses belonging to his son.
Coupled with the following item from
this mornings news there is something
weird about the death: "Last evening
word came over the wire from Eureka,
Cal, to the effect that another son Of
the dead map, Charles. III. Bawden. of
San Francisco, was at deaths door. 1t
seems that he, on Saturday, went to the
door of a Mrs. Price, and, when she
opened the door, seized, and, after fir
ing three shots, lodged the fourth in
her heart. just as the last shot was
fired her husband appeared and caught
her as she fell. He then clubued Baw-
den with the pistol, after the latter had
put bullet in his own neck. 1t is
thought BaWden will die. He wrote
before the shooting, claiming that Mrs.
Price was his wife, but 1t is thought he
had paid attentions to her and was en-
ragged over her marriage, of which he
had only recently heard"
