 for rubbing down his horse. A few minutes after Chief Browder reached his room MT. Walker went up the | steps after him.

Walker, he said, continued to advance on him, saying that he had a bill against him. Chief Browder repeated his warning to him and as he continued to ap- proach him, cursed him and struck him. MT Walker hurriedly retreated down the stairs, 1t Is said, and when he reached the ground floor. pulled a pistol from his breast and fired at the Fire Chief who was then half way down the stairs.
 At the first shot Chief Browder started back to his room and 1t was then that MT. Walker fired the sec ond time.
