made by the man ut the other end

cred.

tie to say In condemnation OF the divis-
lon manager. but the Walls OF their

Miss Mary Cooper, who, they aver,
has been q disturbing element from the
day she came here from Spokane to

ing a stouter man than Ellarbee,

gun off at the breech. Ellarbee fell
unconscious from the blow and died
the following night.
