a man 60 years old, who gave his name as
f. III. Day, was found on the roadside
near Sycamore Grove, in East Los An

dressed man appeared at the police sta

man, and wished to surrender himself
pending an investigation. The man said
his name was Samuel Holroyd. miner,
from Lake City. Col. and that he had
been here for several days intending pur-
chasing some mining property. He
identified the injured man, and said he
was chance acquaintance, who had of
fered to lead him to some coal claims near
the city. When in a lonesome locality
Day struck MIN on the head with piece
of lead pipe, knowing that he possessed
considerable money, whereupon he shot
him in self defense, inflicting wound
which will in ali probability prove fatal.
Holroyds story was confirmed by the
confusion which he exhibited over his
right ear, and the indisputable proofs
which he furnished as to his identity.
Day refused to talk after he found out
that his intended victim had told the
story to the police.

The result was that protective tariff
