two deputy sheilfis guarding him.
Henry '.ftiiK, who did tho shooting,
coolly handed his pistol to a pollco
sergeant, who ruslwd up at th?
sound of tho shot remarking: "I
Juit had a little trouble with Simon,
and I had to shoot him. I ilon'i
know whether I killed him or not."
Carrol's death, for which Simon
was on trial, was attributed by tho
local authorities to n gang feud and
trouble had been feared when tho
rase rnmo up In rotirt. Neverthe
less, tho deputies who had been do
tailed to guard tho prlsonor had
fallen about a block behind htm it

'You'll never testify against inc. I

Tho matter of restoring tho county

tho first fow months went up to 95.

to divide this money between tho
county banks, whicft would furnish
