seems. making improper advances to Mr..
Esllck'N young daughter, Alberta, a bright
young girl in her early teens. The father
had suspected that Tonkln was leading his
daughter astray, and on Tuesday his sus-
pielons we're confirmed. That night about
7 o'clock Eslick went in search of Tonkin
and found him In Andrews barber shop.
Calling him outside, the two proceeded to
Esltck'e little vine-covered cottage on Mill
street. They entered the house together and
about fifteen minutes after the two came
out, Tonkln In advance aud Eslick following
with drawn revolver In this manner they
proceeded until the city limits were reached.
There they halted. With great emphasis Els
lick commanded Tonkin to proceed and
told him that IL he ever showed his face in
Lead again he would shoot him on sight.
Tonkin continued to march down the Dead
wood road. and when he had disappeared
from view Eslick returned to his home.
