and almost instantly killed a few min
utes before noon yesterday by Eugene

BoREL HAD BEEN FLEEcED.
In the latter part of November the
Frenchman came to Ogden, fresh from
the Wyoming hills, where he had been
herding sheep for several years. By deny
ing himself every luxury he had saved
between 8. 200 and 8, 800 of his wages.
Shortly after his arrival the herder VINO
was not so unSophistlcated as his general
make up would indicate, was lured INTO a
sure thing dive, which then existed on
lower TWenty-fifth street, and tieeced OF
81 40 of his money. The gang then
shipped their victim OH to San Francisco,
one of them accompanying him as lar as
Reno. as recounted in THE HERALD at
the time.
HAD LEWIS ARRESTED.
Upon his arrival in San Francisco Borel
hunted UP brother he has there and Dor
rowing 500 returned to Ogden IN search
OF his vanished fortune. Lewis, VINO was
then and continued to be up to the time
Of his death, the king pin of Ogden s sure
thing men, was arrested, but the other
members of the gang escaped. The pre-
ljminary examination was held before
Judge Bishop, but the evidence
was not deemed sufficient to convict on
the charge of film Tanning or obtaining
money under false pretenses. The court,
however, cinched him on general prlncl-
ples and imposed a fine of $50 and costs
Tor gambling. Lewis appealed to the dis
trict court.
AS Borel had no money left with which
to furnish bonds, he was sent to the city
Jail and held as a witness. On Friday
Lewis Withdrew his appeal and paid the
fine and all costs in the case.
BRooDED OVER BIS WRONGS.
During his detention at the jail the
Frenchman became very taeiturn and evil
IDENTIFY brooded greatly over his loss. He
never was laxative, but as the time
passed he withdrew even more within
himself and seldom spoke. 1t became
evident that the loss of the money had
greatly affected his brain and the officers
agreed that he was not exactly right under
his hat,
DEMANDED HIS MONEY.
When made acquainted with the fact
that Lewis had dismissed the appeal.
Borel was seemingly Indifferent, but he
did not remain long in that state OF mind.
Hunting I'D Lewis he demanded his
money and was put off By the gambler, as
he had been several times before. He then
waited upon Assistant Prosecuting Attor-
ney Allison and requested that the case be
taken up before the grand jury. That
body beng otherwise busily engaged, he
was requested to wait.
THE FRENCHMAN's REVENGE.
On Sunday morning Lewis and another
gambler named Kirby entered Morse's
book store, and after having made some
purchases, turned to leave. At the door
they encountered Borel. He again de-
manded his money. Lewis laughingly
remarked, 'sWait until tomorrow, -
turned the corner of Grant avenue and
proceeded south. The Frenchman fol-
lowed and when the two reached the mid
die of the block, drew 38-calibre re-
volver from his breast and commenced
firing The first shot took effect in the
gamblers hip the second passed through
Kirby's coat sleeve, the third also missed
its mark, but the fourth entered the small
of Lewis back.
The wounded man started to run after
the second shot had been fired and when
the fourth struck him under the point of
the left shoulder blade he fell in the en-
trance of laundry, nearly at the corner
of Twenty-fifth street. The last ball did
the fatal work, and within twenty minutes
Lewis was dead.

erately walked to the police station, re-
volveT in hand, and entering the jailor's
room. laid the gun on a table, mutteTed
something about having "done it, - took
a small vial from his pocket and swal
lowed part of its contents. The pump
work Of DR.. Joyce saved the Wouldbe
suicides life. On his person was found
