Cowardly murderers you have fin

blood poured from tho mouth of the
wounded man and choked his utterance
With tho word mother on his lips
Lauer fell back dead Even theso har
dened riuilans could not refrain from
shiiddorlng as thoy saw tho coudltion to
which they had reduced the young man of

voice Wovo finished the old fool
