Mr.. Cox was severely shot in the

and may result in tho lose of at

brought to Ketchum the citizens

Brown and proceeded at once to
relieve the mans sufferings az best
they could. DR.. Brown arrived here
at late hour, having been detained
with other cases in HALEY, and did
every thing possible for Mr.. Cox.
Upon his recommendation, how
ever, owing to the serious condition
Of the mans eyes, one Of which at
least been punctured by shot, the
citizens of Ketchum next morning
raised money and sent Cox to Salt
Lake, where he could have the SER
vices of an oculist. At time of his
departure, he was unable to see but
could converse clearly and was
able to walk.
