ranch HAND HAS
NARROW ESCAPE
Bullet, Believed to Have Been
Fired With Intent to Kill,
GraZes His Arm

Ed Brown, an employe on the Louis
Hyde ranch on Spanish Greek, had
a narrow escape from serious injury
or death last Friday morning when,
while riding fence, bullet which he
believed was fired with homicidal in
tent grazed his left arm.
Brown dropped off his horse and
endeavored to locate the shooter, but
without success.
According to Mr.. Hyde, the affair
is considerable of a mystery. Last
July, while Mr.. Hyde was setting a
trap in his garden. a bullet struck
within a few feet of him, kicking up a
cloud of dust He was unable to
ascertain by whom or from where it
had been fired. On another occasion
ne fourd one of his stock animals
had been shot by some unknown per-
son.
Neither Mr.. Hyde nor Mr.. Brown
will admit that the shots were acci-
dents, the result of carelessness OF
hunters. They are convinced that the
bullets were proposely directed al
them, and that in each instance there
was an attempt to kill.

or four weeks before was found
Sunday afternoon on the jefferson

the body contained personal articles,
but no money.
