for sites with the company early in
the year, but has not been given
an answer. Mr.. Ward offered to
purchase barley at the prairie points

Arlington Hotel. The men used
automatic revolvers and for period
the report Of the shots sounded like

II appears that Sorrow met VIII
liams at the place where the stock
vas empounded and that the men
engaged in a dispute relative to the
act Of the officer. This continued
for time when Williams started 10

Perhaps the most authentic story
of the killing was provided by Dirrel
Price, i7-year-old boy, who was
at the Boss Barn where the stock
pound Is located and where the fight
occurred after Mr.. Williams had
empopnded number of horses.
The impression is that when Sor-
row went to the peund he believed
bis horses had been empounded.
This is question as to Sorrows
views. However. the horses did not
belong to him but were the property

He was met at the barn by Sorrow

that Williams came from Main street
and walked down toward the barn.
Sorrow and Williams then met and |
after a brief controversy Sorrow told
Williams 10 throw up his hands.
