a bullet wound which Investigat

shooting occurred at the Southern
Pacific depot here shortly before
six o'clock tonight as Mrs. White
was about to say farewell to Earl
Lawton of Cresswell, with whom
she had been keeping company.
Lawton waa about to board a
train for Sacramento, Cel., after
talking with the woman for about
two hours. T. S. Reese of Moro, a
brother In law, was talking with
Lawton, when Mrs. White, who
had been seated in Mr. Reese's
automobile outside, rushed into1
the waiting room at the depot and
shouted:
"I have something funny to tell
him!"
Reaches For Pistol
With that Mr. Reese turned and
asked her to go back to the car.
She opened the door and on the
outside, clutched at something In
her coat
There was a shot. Reese, think
ing that perhaps the woman was
shooting at Lawton. told him to
get out ot the place through the
north door. Reese then went to
the other side and saw Mrs. White
lying on the sidewalk.
According to witnesses who
were nearby, Mrs. White said: "I
wish I could see his features be
fore I go."
