Frank Langley, who is running the place for Mr.,Bogue, had a premonition that his peaches were in danger of being patcrowed. "Halt!" He shout ed to Hurlbnrt, but the Mattes kept coming. Mr. Lasgley was armed with a shotgun. Hurl bnrt climbed the fence approach- an especially 'tempting tree and began giving an imitation of man helping himself to another man's peaches under orotest. Langley shouted to him to sneak, . take a walk, get next, and like admonitions several times, but without avail. He then raised his shotgun and fired.

About V o'clock she was Betting the gun at a gopher hole at her home on East Eleventh street, and in some manner it was dis charged whila her fase was close to the nozzle.
