The End
OF the shooting scrape of the 18th
inst, was mild one and yet a just
one. The Greek who shot young
Fogle was fined $1575 and 1854 of
his money returned to him. Bob
Seal of Ely used his kindly perSua-
sion on the attorney, r. S. McClin-
tic and as all parties realized the
shooting was purely an accident
and that the Greek carried all of
his saving on his person therefore
from one view point was partially
excusable for carrying the gun. AS
young Fogle is recovering nicely
from the wound, it is a case of all
is well that ends well.
