first degree. N. L. Mcleod, who shot
and killed George Quay, a stage driver

leased upon a $4,000 bond, a proceeding
which Is very unusual and one which
is likely to be Investigated by friends
of Quay and also members of a lodge
to which he belonged. and in which he
carried $4,000 insurance.

Of the shooting is told to that given
by relatives OF Quay, the substance of
which is that Quay attended dance

her home. She refused his company

house they heard a noise on the roof
and upon going out. Mcleod found
Quay there and ordered him to come
down, which he did, landing on Nc
Leod's shoulders and both fell to the
ground.
According to the story. Mcleod or
dered Quay to go home to his family
and he threatened to strike him.
whereupon Mcleod pulled his gun and
ordered him back and as he kept after
him he pulled the trigger, shooting
once over Guay's head. again In front
of him just as he was grabbed by Quay.
fired the third shot which killed the
stage driver.
The above story is the one told by
Mcleod and 1t Is said was corroborated
by the girl. Further proof OF its verac-
ity, the parties claim, is the fact that
three empty shells were found in Nc
Leod's revolver when he gave himself
up.

who lived at Rocky Bar is now in
