The first who came, knowing the situation, thought Evans had done the shooting. They were loath to believe otherwise. The girl lingered. She was removed to the home of her sister. She was Induced to make a statement exonerating Evans of all blame and denying the report that he had borrowed money of her. This was when It was thought she would recover and Evans had promised he would marry her as soon as she was able. After nearly two weeks of pain the girl complained that the treatment was not benefiting her. She asked to be taken to Denver. Her brother-in-laand slater had done all they could; Dr. Condon had been in almost constant attendance; a trained nurse from Denver had been called In. When the time to move her came her condition grew worse. They feared she would succumb before the change would be made. That morning Evans, who until then had been with her almost constantly, displaying a solicitude the PROF. VON people give him small credit for, left suddenly. He went to a livery stable rifles will work and hired a cutter, telling the livery- caliber quick-firin- g man that Mrs. Thompson had suggestfar more havoc than the physicians ed that the bells be left off for fear and their assistants can possibly atthey would make too much noise as tend to.

"Above all It will be necessary to renew and amend the International agreement of 1868, which declared against the use of explosive bullets of less weight than 400 grammes. So far this agreement has been kept religiously by all nations, but It seems to me there Is, of late, a tendency to evade It In India, as well as Egypt, the English used bullets from which the mantle had been removed. Such bullets Indict the most serious wounds. In most cases they cripple the wounded for life. HARRY EVANS, "Now this Is not and cannot be the fore his team would put him beyond the object of battle.

Others say that about this time Evans began to insinuate about the character of the girl and to repudiate all Intentions of marrying ber. It appears to have been his insinuations that most Incensed the people of Dillon, their Indignation at one time having taken such a phase that the object of them found It expedient to leave town. For three years matters between the two had been approaching the climax. On Monday, Dec. IS, two ladies came from Breckenrldge to Dillon. One of them, a married lady, had been much with Evans In Dillon society, and It seems had found that her meetings with him formed the basis for the jealousy of the Williams girl.
