A double tragedy, most horri

I son in law ot .Mrs. Daniels, made
a remark that did not please the '
guerilla hoarder. Without a 51
word of resentment or any t x-1

' a towering mountain nearby. The j.
Daniels armed themselves and l
followed the fleeing criminal, h
i shortly afterwards surrounding s

his pursuer*, the bullet, passing
through the hat of one of the '
I party. The enemy returned the
