ter Love, who was seriously wound
ed by Luizi Carddeli Saturday night
near his home in Monument valley at

doubtful If he will recover The bul-
let which entered his abdomen is
causing considerable trouble. The
wound in his head is not considered
as serious. He was removed yester-
day afternoon from the home OF
Charles Comstock to his own house,
about a quarter of a mile away Ow-
ing to his condition 1t was not deem
ed wise to remove him to the House
of Mercy hospital in Pittsheld

was killed by Love after Carddeli had
wounded him, is now at the undertake

worked at the Pearson estate Tor
about two years. Aside from this, lit
tie is known about him. The bullet
wound in his head entered at the LETT
side of Is nose and was sufficient TO
cause his death The other bullet en-
tered his stomach and from the APP
pearance of his clothing the revolver
must have been held very close to his
body. A hole was burned through ms
oyercoat and his undergarments.
