While playing AT the gaming tables In

somebody had opened her bag and
stolen her purse which contained sew

her husband she writes:

His body was discovered yesterday
by Chief of Police Butterfeld of this

men, went back up the track to the
scene of the mad leap but there found
nothing but the broken glass and Kar-

part OF Walton. Earlier in the day
Quackenbush had secured an injunc-
