He tells of the bravery of a former Grants Psa boy as follows: The shooting took place where several thousands of people were closely packed and the Greek after shooting down the two police officers and wounding another Greek named George Condos, was fighting his way out of the crowd with his smoking revolver held In a menacing attitude, when Curits M. Moss a young man who was standing by his taxlcab, and had the courage of his young man hood, tackled him, much the same as the football boys make a tackle, threw him to the ground and dis armed, while the Greek was mak ing every effort to kill him.
