He grabbed Lovely, took the gun away from him, and when he finished pummeling him with the pistol, he was not quite so lovely. Dud was badly hurt, and was taken to the White House for repairs, and Dr. Slough sent for. The wound was dressed, and Dud is now able to hobble around a little. The bullet came within a quarter of an inch of cutting a main artery, which would have caused death in a few minutes. Next morning after the shooting, Lovely called and said he was sorry, but was not well received, and pulled out for Socorro county. He is now working on the SU ranch. When the boys meet again there is apt to be trouble, as Dud did not like Lovely’s method of breaking up the ball.
