STRANGE YOUNG MAN SHOT

UNKNOWN, WELL DRESSED STRANGER ACCOMPANIED BY PETITE, DARK HAIRED MAIDEjf. ~ ■ ■■ ’• A well dressed young man accompanied by a beautifully dressed young lady were seen about noon today near the court house, apparently absorbed in a violent argument. No one was near enough to them at the time to ascertain who they were or what the argument was about Jade Montgomery decided that they would tyear watching and tn lieu of the fact/that the city police force was home in bed, donned his wig and with two 45 Colts strapped to has hips sallied forth. It is unknown if thfe couple were able to penetrate his disguise or not but immediately that Montgomery approached they beat it, heading in the direction of the Post Office. Montgomery followed closely upon their heels. The couple crossed the street abruptly and all at once “shot” into the Hilliard & Hamill Clothing Store. In a moment they appeared, both loaded down with bundles. Evidently a Bride and Groom they were, and you must acknowledge exercised very good judgment in the selection of the store which' out-fitted the Groom.
