 Within a few hours after his ar rest at Chambers Park, resort north of here, last night, Waggoncr had dropped his assumed manners of the suave eastern financier for the simplicity of the small town business man. His confession was complete. IL was given without urge 10 amazed sheriff's deputies in a dismal cell of the county jail here.

there were evidences of very fierce
fight. Upon the floor were a score OF
bodies-one of them of a clerk whom !
had known, but mostly, apparently, Of
marauders. Here the most unexpected
resistance had been encountered from
the company of Suave-looking, WELL
dressed young men. mostly foreigners,
who were responsible for the coming
and going of the visitors. Behind the
desks, seven or eight of them were
crouching. Even as stood there,
wondering how to join them, score of
marauders came through the windows
. and flung themselves into the fray.
Their leader stopped abruptly, seemed
almost to lean upon the little stab Of
red flame, and spun round, shot dead
from the cashiers desk. The second
man followed him, but the third and
fourth, advancing from my end, almost
reached their destination. I managed to
dispose of both of them, however,
chiefly owing to the unexpectedness of
my attack, and, taking my chance
from the defenders. vaulted the desk
that had been in danger and came
down among them.
A bullet fiicked my ear, and I dropped
