Special to Review.)

Douglas. May 21-The mystery of the shooting of Ike Coke, which oc cured north of town last Sunday natural conclusion reached was that Roy Mcintyre did the job. The fool- prints of man found at the spot from where the shot must have been fired correspond with the sizs of shoe worn by Mcintyre. To strengthen suspi- cion that he was the man, it was learned that he left Tombstone on Friday last and had not been seen since that time.
 Today word was receiced that Me Intyre was positively at the Christian camp in the Huachucas at the time that Ike Coke was wound d.
 William O'Brien. half-brother O. Coke. came from Cananea Tues slay to be at the bedside of Coke. Since his arrival in Douglas, O'Br'en has occupied the room formerly occupied by Coke. On Tuesday he found a note in his room addressed to him. self in. the handwriting of woman. the purport of which was a warning to leave town. Wednesday morning he received another letter. similarly worded to the first, it read; Leave town at once, or you will get hurt. If you don't you will be fxeo like your brother was. As friend, would advise you to leave at once"
 iG at q tn yr-h " he should be made the target of a threat, as he is unacQuainted here and knows of no enemies. He has reposted his experience to the police, who will ferret out who placed those letters under O'Brien's door.
 There is strong suspicion that the writer of these notes Is not the per son who shot Ike Coke. But why. if this is true. does the writer, who fails to sign his or her name, warn O'Brien that a similar and possibly surer fate awaits him if he remains in Douglas? Is Douglas infested by a gang of thugs and murderers, who in sanely imagine that they can run the town to suit themselves, mardering and pillaging as they carry on their nefarious craft?
 The question who killed Ike Coke is still unsettled. The friends of Roy Mcintyre are positive that he was miles away from Sundays crime, on the other hand, he is the only one upon whom motive for the act could be placed. Why he does not come in and prove an alibi Is another ground for suspicion. If Mcintyre was, as is claimed, at the Christian camp in the Huachuca mountains, it will not be a hard matter for him to prove that he had no connection with the shooting of Ike Coke.
 The theory that young boys fired the shot which wounded Coke Is pret- ty well disproved. One of the boys, who had been shooting in the vicinity, Wi lie Bush, distinctly showed from the position of the youngsters and their target that it would have been impossible to have hit Coke with a ball from one of their guns. even though the bullet was defiected. But the tracis of the man in the brush are almo conclusive proof that the shot was fired from that point and from nowhere else.
 Mrs. Mcintyre is positive that both she and Coke were watching the pass 1 ing train when Coke was hit. This would have tu-ned the back of Coke's head toward the spot mentioned. The person who fired the shot fired il from point almost opposite the stroll CTS and when it struck Coke, it struck him in the back of the neck. It does not look as if small boys, two hundred yards away and shooting in the oppo site direction ever wounded Coke. The
 question is Who did the shooting? 1 -O-
