Triton, Ca, May 23.-Last night Mr.
W. A. Hyers. marshal of Abel, was
shot and mortally wounded by ne

Marshal Hyers, accompanied by a
young white man named Wakeford,

words, when the officers told the ne
gro they wanted him, he pulled his gun
and shot Marshal Hyers, the ball en-
tering the right side, going through to
the left and lodging in the abdomen,
near the skin.
Brown was a loafing negro around
Abel and was wanted at other places
where he had been to recently.
A gentleman from Abel came to Tiff
