belonging to the party in charge of

track late last Friday evening. One
of the party was engaged in target

Holloway got within range, receiv
ing a bullet near the left shoulder
blade, which passed around the left
side and lodged underneath the
skin in front of the heart, making

upon them. Music may have
charms to sooth the savage breast, '
but the soul stirring strains do not |
have that effeqj in civilized com-.
munities, they rather seem to stir j
up strife and jealousies. It is'
really too bad that the boys andj
'their energetic manager could not'
agree, as. they were malriog great!
