may not survive his wounds.-
Read is a ' brakeman on the C

weapon with fearful effect, stab
bing him under the left arm near
the heart,-in the palm and wrist
ot nis leic &nana ana lnmciea a
frightful gash upon the thigh oi
his right leg. Chesley fell to the
ground fainting and bleeding
profusely, whereupon Read jump
ed upon him and kicked him
unmercifully and was assisted by
another voung fellow who works
about the same saloon, whose
name was Dotv.
The town marshal who is abont
6o vears ot age.- deputized tw
assistants and went to arrest Rea
who turned unon the old man
with his knife and threatened to
kill him if he came near, thrust
ing his hand into his pocket also
with a threat that ne wouia snoot
him. The marshal in pure self-
dofnre and in the name ot the
law drew his revolver and shot
Read through the head, the ball
entering the neck on the left side
and coming out through tne
right cheek. Reid fell seriously
wounded, and is still anve, Dut
may not recover.
The bullet entered the neck
within one sixteenth of am inch
of the carotid artery, a severing
of which means certain death.
Chesley is still at Newport and
although badly wounded he will
recover if gangrene does not set
in.
