came dissipated, and resolved on taking
a partner to help run the dairy Inc

which failed to result in an understand
ing, and finally Flannelly ordered MS
son elected from the ranch.
Within a few minutes after the pa
pers were served Thomas Flannelly ap-
peared at the home of his father in this
city. The old man had retired, but the
son forced way to his bedroom. other
members of the family heard high
words, followed by pistol shots, and
rushed in to find the father breathing
his last upon his couch. Young Flan-
nelly escaped on horseback TO his ranch,
where he was brought to bay by Sheriff
McEvoy. Under Sheriff Mansfield and
Jailor Butts. He refused to surrender,
and shot the Sheriff through the arm
The fire of the murderer was return
ed Flannelly continued to shoot until
his revolver was empty, though he was
badly wounded at the first Volley from
the officers. His remaining shots dld
TO damage. When his weapon was
emptied he threw it down with an oath
and tottered backward. The ofncers
sprang upon him and made him prls-
oner. When he was brought TO jail TO-
night he was smoking pipe. though ne
had been wounded half dozen times.

waiting) with his hat some time previ-
Gus to his departure Then donning
the hat of the male relative who had
plotted against him, he prepared to go
out to the carriage.
No sooner had he got to the door

and almost destroyed. He walked out
of the house and the laughter of the
bystanders and entered the vehicle.

head, he threw it into the hands Of it's
proper owner, exclaiming: Hey. Mr..
Dougall. there's your hat!" and donned
his own amid the cheers of all present
