Glen. Langford, who was shot early
yesterday morning by Henry Hall,
was alive at midnight last night, with,
however, no possible hope of recov-

yesterday by Justice Hogan, pending

O'Clock. Hall gave bond readily and
was released. l. w. Wallace and
James Letson are his bondsmen.

As he had to take with him a con-
siderable sum of money, he took a

him, stating that he had been called
TO the place on business, and that he
would be there only a minute.

did not 90. When Hall arrived at
,, the place, Miller was busy, and Hall
stepped into the bar room. A poker
game was in progress there, and he
was invited by Langford to join the
game. Langford has a reputation as
card sharp and Hall was suspicious
that q crooked game had been ar.
ranged for him and refused. Lang,
ford. who has borne the reputation of
bully, seemed offended at Halls re
marks. and began to make insulting
remarks. Hall was sitting down all
| the time Some remark was made
about Hart, a booster in the poker
games OF the city and from whom ii
was learned yesterday that Langford
had borrowed $35 for the game il
progress at the time of the shoot
| ing.
| When Harris name was introduced
Hall remarked that Hart was too
smooth a player for him to go against
This seemed to anger Langford more
! than ever, and with the remark
Hart is a gentleman by the side o.
you" started toward Hall, at the
same time reaching for his gun. He
never had time to point it. Quicl
as a fash Hall, who was expecting
some such move, rose 10 his feet
drawing his gun, which was an auto
matte, at the same time, and fired.

a resident of the redlight district, who
admitted that he had picked up the
gun which Langford had dropped tt
J the floor at the time he was shot, al
| though he strenuOusly denied it wheL
