SAN FRANCISCO CLEANING UP.
Public Interested in Popular Move
TO Repair Damage.

San Francisco Cal, Feb. 16.-San Fran

JOHN COON SHOT

John Coon, former employee of

his way to Ogden Monday night
was shot by tramp who attempted
to rob him.. After the shot was
fired Coon was locked in a freight
car and 1t was not until the train
pulled into McCammon that the in
iured man was discovered and given
assistance.
The shooting occurred at Inkom
and according to Coons story was
entirely without provocaticn, but a
cold blooded attempt to rob him of
his money. He had been working
In the shops at Poeatello, and after
getting his time decided it was
easier to beat his way to Ogden
than to spend his hard earned
money. At nixon these hoboes
entered the car and ordered him to
turn over his money. He refused
and the shot was fired, the bullet
entering just below his lower jaw
He was taken to the Pocatello hos.

In speaking of their plans Mr..

will pay cash aud pay the highest

we haye been able to. induce the
people 10 bring in enough cream to
