 USES GUN AGAIN
Special from United Press.)

Especial from United preSS.)
 Willows, Cal, Jan. 12.-According tc a story told today by members of the Bolton family Miss Alma Bell, who was recently acquitted of the murder Of Joe Armes. her traducer, at Auburn, Cal, suddenly went insane Sunday and attempted to kill Bottoms young son with 2. revolver.
 She was disarmed. Later stranger named Burch is said to have visited Miss Bell and talked with her until 3:30 o'clock in the morning. The same day, before the members of the fam fly had arisen. the stranger returned and had long talk with the girl. When the man was gone, it is charged that Miss Bell secured a repeating rifle and sought to xii the entire family. Again she was disarmed.
 The girl is rational now but it is feared there will be a recurrence of her mental disorders. She has been visiting the Bottoms and her mother has been sent for. It is probable she will be sent to some sanitarium until her faculties are restored. The girls wrongs at the hands of Armes are said to have unbalanced her mind.
