to lend him some money Her re-
fusaI to lend him the money desired
no doubt angered Miles who drew a

his own hands and he drew a revolver
and shot Niles in the breast The bull
let pierced the right lung.
Miles beat a hasty retreat and II
was almost midnight when Sheriff
Glover received word Of the shooting.
The sheriff with Deputy Sheriff Bar

posed to have been. While IN that
section a party of bootleggers were
intercepted and Sheriff Glover brought
the offenders to the city, while Deputy
Sheriff Barrett and Constable Mich
ael remained on the watch at Idamay
where they remained until 1870
o'clock the next morning. The Off
GERS are certain Miles did not return
to Idamay that night
At the Fairmont State hospital to-
day It was stated that the bullet had
been removed from Mary Williams
right knee and that she would be able
to leave the institution in from two to
three Gays. The bullet was lodged
