Emil Sohlern, saloon keeper at 49, Wells

ed just before midnight Wednesday night
by one of three men who entered the saloon
for the purpose of robbery.
Twenty men were in the place at the
time drinking. but none Of them made any
effort to capture the robbers or offer re-
sistance, and the murderer and his COM
raniols escaped. Sohlern was shot down
without a moments warning. 1t was at
first thought the shooting was the result
of grudge or previous quarrel.
Later 1t was learned that the men
entered the place for the purpose of rob-
berry. and the robber, who was evidently
to have gone behind the bar to the cash
register, finding that Sohlern intended to
offer resistance drew his revolver and fired
at the saloonkeeper's head. The bullet en-
tered Sohlern's right eye and pierced the
BRAIN and the victim died without speak

in five minutes after the murder, but when

carried a satchel.

man told the story. and the two trainmen
arrived at the conclusion that a jeweiry

from the bumpers and disappeared into an
