and shot the latter in the chin the bullet penetrating the jaw below the line of teeth and knocking Schader down As soon as Schader recovered from the shock of the impact of the bullet he started to run down the hill and Skid more again tired at him but fortunately the bullet missed its mark From what we can learn of the cause of the murderous action of Skidmore it would appear that there has been a dispute between Jack Karlinand Skidmore over the title to certain mining claim abuting on the Tom Reed This dispute between Karlin and Skidmore was settbd in the Superior Court last week in favor of Skidmore but there was another party claiming a fraction of ground the title to which was not quieted by the Karlin Skidmore suit and this party employed Schader to look after the title work for him During Wednesday Skidmore appeared at the mine and ordered Schader off and Schader ordered Skidmore off Along in tho afternoon during the absence of Schader Skidmore came to the shaft where the men were at work and ordered them away from the claim He picked up rocks and made threats against them and when Schader appeared he told the men that he was going to get his gun and shoot Schader Going to his cabin Skidmore armed himself with a pistol and told a bystander that he was going to shoot Schader and then went to the mine when about thirty yards away ho stopped and aimed his pistol Schader who was standing at the shaft asked him what he was going to do with the gun when Skidmore without replying fired the bullet striking Schader as above described Skidmore was arrested and at a
