the man who did the shooting, and the
authorities say they have no tangible
clue upon which to begin search for
him.
According to eye-witnesses, the
murder was done in cold blood and
without provocation. 1t seems that
the woman and three men were play
ing pool In the saloon The unknown
negro interfered with tho balls and
when the woman protested he started
trouble. A few angry words passed
and then, according to the witnesses,
the stranger drew revolver and fir
ed.
When the woman fell to the floor,
several men started toward the muir
derer, but he brandished his revolver
in their faces and backed out of the
door into the darkness. Before the

scene he had made good his escape,
leaving no trace behind.
