The story of the affair as told at the

were coming out OF the Bon-Ton res
taurant after having had n lunch when
they met Albino Arias. Arias asked
Pacheco to play a game Of cards with
him for fifty cents or a dollar. Pacheco
declined and Arias %thereupon asked
Daley, who consented to play for q
dollar and both went into the Oxford.
Daley got the cards out OF a little cabi
net and both sat down to play. The
game was claimed by each and a
heated quarrel resulted. Daley
reached for his revolver behind the bar
and Arias drew a weapon. One shot
rang out and Immediately upon 1t two
other shots. Arias leaned over and
wrsnched the revolver out of Daley's
hand and then ran out as far as the
Claire hotel. turned back and entered
the Bon Ton restaurant and fell to the
ground nea the entrance, with the
blood streaming from a wound in the
left thigh and still clutching Daley's
revolver. Daley fell to the floor in the
oxford saloon with a wound In the
left shoulder. the bullet lodging in the
spine and paralyzing his body below
the hips. In the meanwhile Deputy

the shots and had Daley removed tc
st. Vincent's hospital. Arias was taken
to his home near the Denver 4 Rio
Grande depot, where he expired just
as he was being carried into the
house. The two physicians who were
called in could do nothing when they
arrived except To determine that death
had ensued. Arias leaves a wife and
two daughters. one single and the
other Mrs. Romulauo Tenorio. A
mysterious part of the shooting is that

der the pretense that he wanted to re
pair II. He did not return the weapon
and the Shooting was probably done
with it. Only one chamber in Daley's
revolver was empty.
