spot, but the knife made a ragged
wound in Mr.. Chinchellas throat. The

awakened his son, Conoguito. He sprang
from his bed and rushed into his fathers

with q stiletto. Gaboth struck vicious
blow at the son, which the latter
lodged. A fight to death followed. Up

from her room and threw herself be-
tween the combatants. In this she re-
ceived two slight stab wounds. Ansel.
