ROBBERS KILL BARTENDER
Cruel Crime Committed at Cobre-
Murderers Steal Money and
Then Get Away.
Special to The Herald.)

Cobre, New. Aug. 15.-One of the most
daring robberies recorded in the annals
of crime in eastern Nevada was that
which occurred at Cobre at 2 o'clock this
morning, in which James Gillian. night
bartender at Hillman's saloon, was shot
ana almost instantly killed. The crime
was one of the most cruel and cOwardly
ones reported in many months. While
engaged at work behind the bar Gillian
was shot from the outside by the rob
bers. who did not want to give him a
chance TO use his revolver. as he was
considered a crack shot.
As soon as Gillian fell to the floor the
resort and covered eight or ten men.
most of whom were armed, before they
could recover from their CONSERVATION.
The robbers commanded all the occupants
of the place to line up against the wall
and keep their hands up high. Two of
the men were commanded by the rob
bers 70 go behind the bar and drag the
body Of the dying bartender out of the
way
The robbers calmly gathered up 500 in
IN silver, which they put into a sack,
and, keeping the men covered, backed
out OF the saloon, mounted their horses
and started for the hills.
Sheriff Clark was taken to Ccbre from
ElkO yesterday morning at o'clock. He
Immediately organized a posse to scOur
the neighboring country in quest of the
murderers good description of whom
was obtained by people who saw them
escape. The meE are believed to De mem
bers of the HOle-in-the-Wal gang, who
used the old CObre trail in passing to
and from Oregon.

time, return this morning to their home
in Salt Lake. Mr.. Margetts and daugh-
ter have been the guests of Mrs. K. P

here when times were strenuous and
life less certain. Phil is well known

sure of welcome when he comes to
Idaho Falls. Mr.. Margetts' friends tried
to induce him to appear professionals
while here, but as his time was limited
he could not find it convenient to do so.
