(From Saturdays Daily.)

1 Halt dozen posses secured tho
 country surrounding Humboldt yes
 terday and last night without success:
 in attempts to take, dead or alive
 Fred Marshall, shoemaker, who shot
 and fatally wounded George D. Casey
 and s. F. Wrenn following a quarre
 over dice game in Casey's poolroon Thursday night. Wrenn died two
 hours after the shooting. Casey was
 operated upon but died at 2 o'clock
 yesterday morning. The bodies oi
 both men were brought to this city yesterday and placed in Lester Ruff
 ner's undertaking establishment A horse, which Marshall stole from the Consolidated company and rode
 away following the shooting, came
 back to Humboldt from the direction
 of Lynx creek about o'clock yester-
 day morning The animal was sad
 dled and bridled and had evidently been ridden hard. Deputy sheriffs are inclined to believe that Marshall has either taken refuge in the hills and is preparing to stand off his pursuers or has ended his life. He is armed with a rifle and an automatic revolver which were stolen from Ben Johnson,
 stableman for the Consolidated at Humboldt.
 Late yesterday afternoon posses cut twice what is believed to be Mar shall's tracks. Near the old Stoddard mill the trail was taken up and is be- ing followed by Deputy Sheriffs Guy Bozarth and Kinsman. Sheriff Joe Young and Bill Fitzgerald crossed q second trail below the Iron King and are following it.
 Inquests over the bodies of Wrenn and Casey were conducted yesterday morning at Humboldt by Justice Ben MONudN diu lh DObh SdSSS tlS NSA diets held Marshall responsible for inficting the gunshot wounds that caused the deaths of the two men. The first coherent account of the tragedy was given by witnesses a; the inquesis. From the testimony given the shooting was brought about in the following manner:
 Wrenn and Marshall were shaking dice in Casey's poolroom and became involved in an argument over g bet, which, the witnesses said,, Mar shall refused to pay to Wrenn. Dur ing the argument Wrenn knocked Marshall down. Marshall went across the street to his home and procured a revolver. He returned to the pool hall and was met outside the door by Wrenn. The two men grappled. Wrenn wrested the gun from Mar shall and during the struggle one of the cartridges i'll the chamber was eX plodei. Several witnesses testified to having heard Marshall scream that he was shot as the revolver was dis charged.
 Wrenn took the gun into the pool hall, tossed it across the bar to Casey and said, laughingly: Heres gun l just took away from that fellow" Marshall again ran to his home, sc cured a 45-calibre army model Colts revolver belonging to his uncle, FL bert Dickson, and returned to the poolroom.
 Wrenn was leaning on the bar talk ing to Casey when arshall opened fire through the screen door. The first shot struck Wrenn in the stom- ach and he doubled up ill agony. Casey ran to the telephone to call for a doctor and Marshall fired again. : The bullet struck Casey just as hc 1 was lifting the receiver from the hook. and he fell to the floor and l pulled down the telephone with him. i mortally wounded, Wrenn ran around behind the bar for protcc- ! ton, and Marshall fired third shot through one of the windows. This | shot also struck Wrenn. but the latter | ran outside and around to the rear of | the nall before falling to the ground, | Marshall fled in the ! darkness, stole horse from the cor ral of the Consolidated, the two guns
