MEMBERS OF BOARD
TO FIGHT ASSAlLANTS,

The state board Of pharmacy, COLI
sisting Of Messrs. Roedel of this city,
Eggleston of Laramie and GunneIl OF
Evanston, were in Cheyenne yester-
day and held a session at the state
capitol, say the Cheyenne Tribune.
The meeting vas behind closed doors
and no statement of what ~transpirej
has been made public. The fact, how
ever. that the governor and the at
torney general were called into the
conference indicates that the princi-
pal subject of discussion was the as
sault made upon Messrs. Gunnell and
Eggleston by a gang of roughs after
they had secured the conviction of
the Buffalo druggists for the Illicit
selling of cocaine and morphine. The
two members who were victims OF the
assault are unable to explain why they
should have been set upon and say tibet
the better citizens Of Buffalo deplore
the affair which has given the town
such a bad name. Action against the
leaders of the mob, who are known.
will doubtless be brought.
