I was oapablo of taking charge of them,

statod Ididu'l know tho place whero tho track
was to be torn up. Thero was a limited time
given the company to repair tho road, but
tho Council didn't tear up the roid. I don't
kiow why they didn't carry out the rosolu
tiuu. I was not in favor of tearing up tho
track. I voted against it once booauso I
wanted to give tho company more time to fix
up tho other part of the track, not ou tho
question of right of way. I did a little more
business at my hotel on tho night of
August 21st on account of tho trans
fer of passengers caused by tho tearing
up of the track. That was the only incroase.
The 21st was not fixed for tho toarlng up be
cause on that day tho company would do its
greatest business on becauso tho Lavcllo Fair
opened on that day. I didn't go near tho
toaring up of tho track. I llvo about thirty

shots were fired. I said the man was very
snotty for telling poople to keep away from

Briggs caiao out just beforo the shot he said,
"Horo wo aro ," and then shot
I was about twenty feet from Briggs when ho
fired. I said before the Coroner's jury Briggs
said, "Hero I am, you ," and ho

Tho shots fired were like a bunch of shooting
crackers, right after each other. I oan't say
that I saw Amour grab a gun from anybody,
I did swear before the Coroner Amour took
gun from u man In about the centre of tho
oar: mv recollection is refreshed now. I saw
Amour go In the ear and saw him throw his
arms up and shove the gun out of the way.
Amour never mentioned anything about
