and danced. They finally had a misunderstand-
ing over one of the Gila belles, and went out
to talk it over. John Lovely, who was in any-

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.
