the company street. I never knew the

When asked heiv he felt about the

be knew he could prove that he did
right.
•'I know that 1 did right, and even If
I am convicted I know that Ooil Is the
just Judge and that. I will be repaid up
there. I don’t mind dying so much,
but I hate to think of dying like n dog.
If I had been killed on a battlefield it
would have been different.’’ •
Letters from Home.
He walked over to his coat and
handed me two letters, one from his
mother and one from his sister.
The letter from his mother was aq
appeal to Captain Beattie to do what
he could to save her baby boy. It sta
ted her condition, poor, aged and help-
Uss, and asked that she be told at once
what was dene.
The other letter was one that told
how the family felt. How they hoped
and prayed that God would help him
and. how they waited and trusted in
him.
As I finished reading, the man in
front of me said: “Mister, ain't it hard
on a fellow? t know I brought it oh
myself, but X am here alone. Every
body seems to be down on a fellow
when he is in this fix. When I sit
here and think of mamma and how
this will nearly kill her it makes me
feel terrible. How little I 'thought, when
I kissed her good-bye at the depot that
morning that it might be the last time
I saw her.”

Cheek by the same bullet that hilled Harris. Sheriff Boynton and Chief
Gathrighl took control of the opera house an* made a thorough search. The
officers found five Winchesters and ten revolvers in the building.
The opera house Is now In the possession of (to p«!!ce. deputy sheriff*
and the adherents of ex-Chalrman Broad. No one Is allowed to approach
the doors.
The Effect of the Shooting.
The sibling doors which form the entrance to the auditorium show the
effects of the shooting. The right hand door, as the room is entered. Is
perforated with bullets from Winchesters, and a hall Is also lodged In the left
door. Both were fired from the Inside room and about os high as a man s
head from the floor.

turn the building over to ox-Chatrman Broad. The writ waa refused.
A Statement About It.
“At 4:10 this morning," said ox-Mayor Plumb, “we were inside the opera
house. There was 22 of us. Suddenly a fusilade of shots were fired through

We were forced out of the building. Sheriff Boynton and Chief of Police
Gathrlght were in the front ranks of the attacking party. The police and
sheriff’s oncers claim the attack was made ent tely by men brought from
Denver. They say they only rushed in after the attack began.
Peculiar Fact.
A reeu'iar fact, however, is that they were all on hand. Chairman
Blood has Issuod a statement, In wnich he says that ex-Chalrman Broad. T.
N. Stevens and DeWitt C, Webber arranged with a gang of thugs to come
