at HIM twice. Miss Brown also ad-
vanced, it is said with a pistol;
Then Loadholdtz drew his pistol
and fired on the women, one shot
killing May Brown and four enter
ing the breast of Mrs. freeman, who
is mortally wounded. While this
fusilade of bullets WAS going on De-
tective Cahoon while attempting to
take the pistol away from Loadholtz,
was shot in the back, probably by
one of the women. Cahoon's wound
is not considered dangerous. Load

killed May Brown in self-defense.
