According to the statement of Mr.
4. T. Anglin, proprietor of the ho-

Cured Nick Lamar ran towards the
men, pistol in hand. Gum had Just

to Lamar, and was standing up when
he, was shot.
The officers say that the mark, or
slight cut, on Lamar's neck can be
explained in due time 1t was of triv-

This bloody tragedy, while deplored
