to the extent Of great fatigue, while

mean the knowing how to relax-a

Saturday Night.

During a brawl with members OF

urday night, Bill Chllders, was killed.
Meager details received conflict
as to the modus operandl employed by
his slayers in sending Childers over

to It's effecti yeness. One report said
he was dubbed TO death, while
another stated that he took the more
rapid forty-hye route.

Marshal James Wilkelson early Sau-
day morning TO arrest the alleged
slayers who we're supposed TO be on
the late Frisco train. The message
was not received until few minutes
before the arrival OF the train and
Deputy Wilkerson did not have time
TO summon an adequate force OF
deputies to properly search and guard

were riding the bumpers. While ex'
