 a slight probability that she will be
 held 60 the grand jyry There were l only two witnesses, the defendant. and l her victim. Both are going to swear
 that the shooting was only a painful

McDaniels, that the shooting was jus ] tlfiable. He knew Ford to be a bad i man. He was not acquainted with i McDaniels, but learned from men who ! had known both Ford and McDaniels for years that he was an inoffensive person Mir Goddard thinks it i'm probable that McDaniels is dead. He said there was no reason why one talk ing the road from HolbrCok 10 Heber should die of want He thinks it likely that h. is either at Hel5er or in Utah.

 A BAD BUSINESS MOVE. -Flos- sic Barton. a deniZen of the block. who was arrested last week on charge Of robbing a guest from Kan sas City while ne slept, was brought before Justice JOhnstone yesterday. She made great show of resisting the accusation to the last moment, and ] then weakened and pleaded guilty. She was fined $100. which she paid. Looked at from all sides Flossie's financial adventure was unfortunate According to the claim of the com witness she got between S6O and $75 from him. Only S30 was found in her possession when she was arrested and that was given to the complainant. Taking the s100 fine and Fiossie's attorneys fees, it's enough to make her sick.
