Saloon is to Blame.
CAPTAIN Fred Fornoff who went TO
Corona to Investigate several shoot
ing scrapes including the killing of
Deputy Sheriff W. S. McAdams, found |
that the affrays had nothing to do |
with each other and were independent |
outbreaks, similar to that which re |
suited in the killing in the same |
place not so long ago of cattleman
named Chase and for which Jap Clark
is serving a sentence in the pen1ten-
tiary. Captain Fornoff says that all
these shooting scrapes can be traced
back to one saloon in the communl-
ty which has been made the rendez-
vous of desperate characters and VINO
when full of drink do not hesitate 10
use the gun freely. He says that the

ite minister Trapp and his two sons
for the killing of McAdams will take

Alamogordo on January 20.
