in game of coon can, when Sad
Ter got mad and took the money
from the table, a dime of which
Tate claimed belonged to him.
Tate demanded his money and
renewed his demand three times,
but was each time refused. Final
ly he left the place, but returned
III a few minutes and again made
demand for his money.
On again being refused he drew
38-ealibre pistol, but Sadler was
not to be bluffed. and drew two
large stones from his bosom which
he hurled without hesitation at his
bellicose antagonist. One of the
stones struck Tate on the right
hand, badly lacerating that men,
Der and probably contributing to
the inaceuracy of his aim, for the
one shot which he fired went wide
of its mark, and before he could
fire again his human target had re-
treated to place of safety.
Tate Immediately left for greener
fields and pastures new, but was
overhauled at Berwyn yesterday by
Deputy Hutchins and placed in Jail
on a warrant from Judge Brad
