The next moment Harry Britten wnom every
body in town knew. dead on his own door

revolver and fired two shots.
The older brother, Frank was inside with his
sister, when he heard the shooting. He rushed
out, but had no sooner opened the door than
the Cuban fired two shots at him. then turned
on his heel and fled from the town. Frank fell
over his dead brothers body. and the blood of
the two brothers mingled in pool.
The murderer hurried away and had gotten
outside the town when the excited townspeople
gathered with threats of lynching Tonight the
whole town and the surrounding countryside is
at high pitch of excitement. If Jones is found
he will be strung TO the nearest tree unless the
zeal of the police outstrips the anger OF the

a freight train out of town.
Frank Britten lay across his dead brother s
body for nearly five minutes and then dragged
himself to the home OF PatrOlman McNicol next
door. The latter gave the alarm and turned
out every policeman in town after the Cuban.
Mrs Britten went to NeW-York yesterday
