The victim lived for some hours and told the story of the shooting. He did not see his assailants, who were ambushed behind a stone fence. They fired twelve shots. During his term of office, Mr. Beeler was a relentless pursuer of outlaws who may have taken this means of revenge. A few months ago in a personal quarrel, he killed a well known character named Monte Slaughter who had many friends.
