In the other case the man died
one day after the serum had been
injected.
The case in which the serum
was used successfully was in st.

was Felix Ambrosino. He is back
at work again, completely cured.
But he suffered terribly for eight
days. The other case was in the
Kings County hospital. The pa
tient was Charles A. Schultz. The
serum was injected into his spine
at once, and the surgeons worked
hard to save him.. He died, how
ever.

BY UTAH OFFICER ON PRICE
STREET.

PRICE, Utah, Aug. 24.-C. l..
Maxwell, known as "gunplayp Max
well, was shot and killed by Sheriff
Ed. johnson on the street here to-
day. Maxwell who has an interstate
reputation as. a bad man" came to
Price with the avowed intention of
settling an account with Johnson,
which grew out of his arrest by the

When they met today both men
reached for their weapons. Johnson
was the quicker and Maxwell fell
with two bullets in his body before
he could draw his pistol.
Maxwell was we'll known in Massa-
chusetts and it is believed his real
name was Bliss. He has served time
in the Utah penitentiary for bank
robbery and in the Wyoming prison
for grand larceny. His most recent
ENHANCEMENT was in idaho, where 1t
is charged he was implicated In the
robbery of stage coach. The state
ofiicials failed to secure an indict-
ment.
His penchant for shooting up small
towns earned for him the nickname
by which he was known.
