Last evening at 6:20 o'clock a telephone
message was received at police head
quarters asking that the patrol and some
officers be sent Immediately to the copper
plant where il was said. man was
trying TO kill another. The wagon re-
sponded and three officers went with IL TO
catch the would-be murderer. II was Il
long way and the roads were muddy
making it heavy pulling. so progress was
slow at best. When the officers reached
the Warm Springs they were met by a
small boy on horseback, who cried:
Hurry up. cause q man is out there
eatin' pa up
Officer Shannon called to the boy to go
ahead as fast as he could and tell the
''cannital' to leave the hair. Sheets re-
marked that if the man had been eating
ever since the wagon was telephoned for
there could be only the feet left by that
tirna. The roads past the Warm Springs
were cut NJ and in such shape as TO
make fast travelling almost impossible.
and besides the ex-fire horse, that has
been placed in the patrol while the regular
horse is being doctored. fairly staggered
with fatigue. having made a trip of about
two miles earlier in the day and he was
not used to such long journeys.
The small boy kept digging his heels
in the ribs of the animal he rode and the
patrol followed until a house was reached,
which stood about 200 yards from the
copper plant on the banks OF the Jordan.
The wagon was driven into the yard and
Mr. Amos, who lived in the house, came
out and said. Il guess he's in the barn. -
Just then out walked man who looked
as if he had been celebrating st. Patrick 5
day. That's him. some one cried, and
the women ran in the house and bolted
the doors.
Halo, byeS. said the terrible man.
''Phwat We afther?"
It was old Mike Gavin, in a good humor
q. small sized jag and looking anything
the wagon. after Amos had explained that
Gavin he'd threatened to hit him and he
was afraid to have him round the place
Gavin had worked for Amos for about
three months and yesterday he was sent
for some malt and was gone all day. 1t
seems that when he returned the two
had some words and ended in slight
miXup in which neither were hurt. So
Mike went to jail with the charge of be-
ing drunk and fighting against him.
