The importance of the salmon industry

the Pioneer Drug Store, and moment
afterward were shooting at one another as
rapidly as their reyolvers could be fired.
The cause Of the shooting dates back to
some trouble that occurred between the
young men last summer, the difficulty un-
happily never having been settled. AL
.though nine shots were exchanged Tues
day evening at distance of not more than
twelve feet, neither OF the boys was seri-
ously injured. Flenner was hit just aboye
the groin on the right side, but the bullet
only made very slight flesh wound"
