mountain town on the North Santiarn.
With death facing them every min
ute, both men lived all yesterday aft

Though a late report from Gates to
night says that Herve has but little
chanre to live, physicians are making
a hard fight to save him. Herve's
brother Gene is on the San Francisco
police force and his sister Is the wife
of C. R. Hansen, of an employment
agency In San Francisco, and they
have wired to spare no expense in his
treatment. Herve has a divorced wife

of the wounded man, reached Albany
tonight and will take the train for
Gates in the morning. If possible he
will bring Herve to St. Mary's Hospital
in this city tomorrow evening.
Reports received here today give the
c-Huse of the trouble between the two
men fully, and it develops that the
woman in the case is Mrs. Klgie Rey
nolds, generally known by her maiden
name or Klglo Shaw. Herve had been
paying attentions to the woman ever
nine he came to Oregon four , years
ago. and says they were to have been
married in August.
About a month ago he arranged for
her to stay at the Gates Hotel, so that
he could come in from the logging
camp where he is employed on Satur
day nights and spend Sunday of each
week with her. Though warned to
lfave the woman alone. Sullivan began
devoting, attention to her and finally
won her away from Herve.

She got off, however, at Mill City, only
four miles from Gates, and there Sulli
van met her with a buggy Wednesday
night and took her to his mine in the
Gold Creek district. Herve, heard of
this Thursday night, and the next
morning he announced his intention
of going to the mine to find the run
away pair. He was then told that
Sullivan would come out from the
mines that noon and calmly sat down
on the hotel porch and awaited the
arrival of the stage.
Sullivan's friends warned him not
to come to Gates, but Instead of adopt
ing the advice, he loaded his revolver
and came on with the stage. When it
reached the hotel the tragedy occurred.
Mrs. Reynolds is still at the mines,
where Sullivan left her when he board
ed the stage Friday morning- on his
fatal trip. Her stepfather from Aums
vllle was at Gates today and it Is
reported he has sent her word to re

over the tragedy lessens.
