bullet iD the left thigh and was also
won nded in the right arm. 1t is
not known whether the robber was
wounded. He ran from the saloon.
Mr.. Mudd was alone at the time
the man entered the saloon and al.
most as soon as he entered, he drew
a reviewer from his overcoat pocket
and demanded the money in the
cash register.
Perhaps you would rather have
this" replied Mr.. Mudd, as he picked
up pistol, which was close to
where he was standing.
The hoid-up man fired three shots
and Mudd's pistol barked twice.
AS soon as the hold-up man had
been put to flight, Mr.. Mudd, who
lives over the tsaloon, aroused his
wife. who had retired and told her
to call doctor; that he had been
shot. DR. Bounds responded and
two or three of Mr., Mudd's friends,

In the meantime, the wounded
