Lamar Rsaping the Results Of Saloon
License.

Charles Bringols. prominent
young man of Lamar. was shot and
perhaps fatally injured in the Brown
Palace saloon Tuesday evening by an
unknown gambler who made good his
escape. The gambler returned later
for his hat. which he dropped while
running from the saloon. Half doz.
en- friends of Bringols started in pur-
suit OF him. with the intention of kill
ing him. but he got away under cover
OF the darkness.
The shooting was the result of a
proposed game of cards.
Rocky Ford came near having sa-
loon murder during the recent brief
reign of that lawlcss institution, but
the indications arc good that we shall
never again allow this evil.
