ver in the hands of Walter H. the fact that S. A. Nelson, s and prominent Powell, Wyo. Following an argument of the gun against Mr. Nelson's stomach, pulled the trigger three times before the banker knocked the gun aside and grappled with Ball. - In the melee, Mr. Nelson was struck on the head with the gun and slightly in- jured. Ball and two other men entered the bank and dernanded money which Ball has on account but which has been tied up by court action. Mr. Nelson tried to explain how this would be impossible as he would then be in contempt of court. Incensed at Mr. Nelson's continued refusal Ball pulled out the gun and enacted the scene described above. Ball was arrested immediately and spirited out of town in an automo- bile. He is now in the county jail here on a charge of felonious assault with intent to commit murder. He tntered a plea of not guilty and was placed under $12,500 bond. Ball has lived in Powell for many years and about a year ago was a candidate for cogity treasurer on the Democratic ticket. He has a wife and two children living in Powell.
