The shooting is said to have been
started by a quarrel which Mulhall
and Reed had during the afternoon.
According to Doctor Waddell, an at
tache OF the Cummins' Show, Mulhall
threatened to kill Reed prior to the

Mulhall is said to have drawn a re.

father after the ARRAY, and later upon
his advice went home.
Several horses belonging to the show

throw anything up and when l could
get hot coffee TO stay on my stomach l
thought l was better.

was the matter and every morning
would drag myself out of bed and 20
to breakfast, not to eat anything but to
force down some more coffee. Then in
a little while would be so nervous, my
heart would beat like everything.
"Finafly one morning told my hus-

this trouble and that thought I would
try Postum which I had seen adj
