Frank lille, who was found building
a fire Of ties aud coal. Later in the
night be was patrolling the yard neal
the coal sheds and found a Mexican
With a big chunk of coal. He ordered
the Mexican TO stop, which he did long
enough to take a shot at Kensla, when
he disappeared. The shot struck
Kensla in the upper part Of the left
arm, luckily making only a flesh

went out on a hunt for him, and found
him hiding In J. b. Jernigan's wood
