till = this morning. When quiet was
finally restored il was found that one.

two more persons were injured, but not
fatally. From the best information OBJ.

ceedcd to shoot up the town. Marshal
Scruggs was soon ou the scene aud tried

shooting.
One of the toughs, who afterwards
proved TO be Bacon, told the marshal
that he was going TO kill him anyway,
and proceeded TO whip out his revolved
to carry out his threats. AZ this, some
one shot the desperate twice, but not
until the latter had fired one shot at
the officer. The town was dark and

One of the shots went through the
Oregon Short Line station and the night
operator proceeded to vamoose Many
windows were shot out and the whole
town was in terror for hours. The
darkness was all that saved the rest OF
the outlaws from being killed.
The dead mau was well known in this
section, having relatives living IN this
COUNTY. Marshal Scruggs is brave of
ficcr and has been for weeks chasing
the Whitney brothers through the
MOUNTAINS back of Cokevillc, but so far
