Cotner went to Idaho where he was engaged in work and when suspicion began to deepen as to his part in the Hot Lake affair, Mr. Good all went to Boise with the intention of having him surrender into custody. Walter Coffin, a prominent citizen of Boise, acting a3 deputy sheriff, went to a cabin where Cotner was staying. He had scarcely got the words from his lips as to hi3 mission when Cotner shot him dead and escaped. Cotner has never been heard from directly to this day, although there have been rumors that he came back later under disguise to see is old father and moth er. It is also said that he followed them when they returned to their for mer home in Texas and that from there he went into Mexico. Gabriel was the only one of all who was brought to trial and he was sen tenced to life imprisonment. Ho was consumptive and died not long after his incarceration in Salem. It should be added in justice to Tem ple Garner that he was merely a spec tator and was not directly connected with the fued. At last accounts he was living in Weiser, Idaho.

(United Press by Mail.) Prize-fighter soldiers expect to keep on fight ing for side purses to augment the king's shilling, despite the complaints of less pugna cious comrades. Jimmy Wilde, flyweight champ having at last joined the gymnastic staff, is hopeful of meeting upstarts just as the heavier boxers have done,thanks to the sportsman ship of their commanding offi cers. "Professoial fighters are oft en granted leave of absence to engage in fights when business men who gave up their enter prises are unable to obtain any liberty," wrote one irate soldier. "In some regiments stationed near London it is a bye-word to say you are a coming champion, to obtain leave." Red Cross relief, however, has been largely furthered by the free services of various boxing champs. Hardly a week passes in London without some glove exhibition for charity's sake.
