Walter Blake. They had just separated,
and Byram had reached the corner of

yelling, Murder! Policew Byram asked
him what was the matter, and the man
said the two men had shot him.
Byram gave chase and when Hark saw
him he wheeled round and pulled re-
volver out of his pocket. Byram quickly
pulled out his revolver and Hark continued
his fight. Byram jumped on Howard
street car, but the conductor refused to per-
nit him to ride, as he had his revolver in
his hand. Byram jumped off and con-
tinued the chase on foot. The two men
yard on the north side of Howard street
and Byram chased him over sheds and
fences till he saw him run through house
on to Natoma street. The woman Of the
house slammed the door in Byram's face
and locked it and it took some time before

him that Hark had gone into house on
the corner of Fourth. and Natoma, where
Bvram found him. When searched a re-
volver, twelve keys and pair of nippers
