When man gets into a row in
such resort and is killed there is
not much sympathy for him, and
whoever commits the crime is safe

Just a short time before the no

order of Mayor, Harrison, a promi-

the newspapers said he had died on a

This rumor may or may not have
been founded on fact, but even if it
