Folsom, N. M, July Yesterday
morning W. q. Riley, an operator on the
Denver & Fort Worth railway, went into
a saloon to transact some business With
the proprietor. He was covered by re-
volver in the hands of Charles Ellis.
Riley grabbed the man and tried to pre-
vent the shooting, but Ellis being the
stronger of the two, got Riley's head
under his arm, placed tine revolver back
of his neck and fred. The ball passed
near the jugular vein and into the left
lung near the heart, coming out at the
left side. Riley is only is years old and
ia quiet and inoff snsive, while Ellis bears
q bad reputation. Ellis is under arrest,
and il Riley dies he will probably be
lynched.
