from the stag«» station on Mud creek
on the Plush and Lakeview line.
He was watching two horsemen as
they w«'re riding along, and did not
see the two officials, who opened fire
on him
it is said that tbe first shot
struck hl» rifle from his bands, numb
ing his left hand until he could not
get it around under hts left side,
where he had bls revolver hanging.
Th«' bullet wounded him In the leg.
Then seven other shots were fired
during his capture. He confessed to
the murders, and told the officers
thvy were poor shots, and that he
expected to hang, aad wished they
had killed him.
He told of shooting the boys be
cause they had made him angry when
they had discharged him.

tain he did the fonl and fiendish act
It was a pitiful story that was told
by a note found In the grip of one of
the boys. It seems that after Harrold
had killed his brother and shot him
he managed to get to his tent, where
he laid down and wrote a note to his
folks, and put It In his grip, telling
of how Harrold had killed his broth
er and shot him. and that he was
bleeding Inwardly and could live but
a short time. It must have been after
this that Harrold found him reclin
ing In his tent and picked up his own
gun and blew the top of his head off
Then he folded his hands and placed
the gun across him, to make people
believe he bad killed himself— but he
made the fatal mistake so often made
In such cases—he threw out the emp

would have been Imposaibte for the
murdered boy to have done himself.
The parties from I-akeview state
that the people are much excited, and
