Reed left the saloon for purpose! unknown un-known to the writer, as so many conflicting con-flicting stories are in circulation, and it appears was followed out by Dean, who shot Reed as he was returning to meet him. The ball struck him at the right of the breast bone, passed through, thu right lung and is supposed to be imbedded im-bedded under the richt shoulder blade or in close proximity. It it a shocking a5air rendered more I so from the fact that the trouble be tween the parties was not of a natun to call for such stern methods for settlement. settle-ment. Strange as it may appear Reei; did not fall after he was shot, but walked a few doors north from the saloon sa-loon when he was led to Dr. TilsonV office, where he now lies in a critical condition. Dean is in jail. Later Drs. A. J. Shores and Simmons, Sim-mons, of Provo, have been called ir consultation on the case and the diagnosis diag-nosis then made was unfavorable to the recovery of the patient.
