BULLETS WHIZZ
ON BOX ELDER
A shooting scrape was reported
to have taken place Wednesday
on Box Elder between two pro
minent ranch men who reside
there. It seems that the parties
intersted have been on the "outs"
for several years and that here
to-fore they have been known to
have come together. No words
were reported to have been
exchanged by the two parties but
it was a case of shoot on sight.
The men emptied their six
shooters at each other but the
only damage done was that one
of the party's horse was shot
from under him and killed. As
no arrests have been made up to
this time we will refrain front
publishing the names of the|men
interested.
