He at- tacked the octogenarian with a Knife, it is alleged. Thereupon George Gould inter- ceded and was felled by an ax. He was nut killed. The bystanders were atrald to_touch the drunken man. Just then B. J. Bzldwin came, and tak- ing in the situation, he drew a gun. Mc- Donald and Gould 'lay -on the ground. Breen was threatening to commit murder with the ax. Gould had blackened his eye and McDonald's blood was on his shirt front. Baldwin presented his revolver and de- clared he would shoot if the man did not submit to arrest. Baldwin held Breen cov- ered until Deputy Sheriff Hosmer could be summoned from Sierra Madre. ACCUSED OF AN ATTEMPT TO BLOW UP A HOUSE KESWICK, Sept. 5.—Mrs. J. H.
