Deputy Marshal Tom Harris died at the Wyoming General Hospital at 1 o'clock today from wounds inflicted by Rafugia Angel last Saturday night when he tried to arrest him in the room's over the Grand Restaurant, for robbing the Fountain Saloon. This news is shock to the community, and it is deplored that an officer had to give his life while in discharge of his duties. He was a good officer, fearless and ready to tackle anything that came up. All during his illness he showed pluck and declared he felt fine and would be all right. He has been in the employ of the city as deputy marshal since last September and his record has been a creditable one. He leaves a wife and four children to mourn his untimely death No arrangements have been made for the funeral as yet.

Saturday night was a "big night" in the recounting of bad deeds, and almost resulted in the death of Tom Harris, one of the city's deputy marshal and whose condition has occasioned anxiety to his associates and friends. The first affair to require the attention of the officers was Joe Garcia, who had been cut about by the throat by a companion. Deputy Dankowski was just finishing his duties of making the rounds to see that the saloons were closed, and was in the Capital saloon, when a couple of men who had been in place, returned to tell him a man was lying out on the street with his throat cut, and was found on the sidewalk by the water company's fence, just where the drain pipe is located. He was taken to the barber shop, where an effort was made to stop the flow of blood. His throat had been cut both sides of the windpipe and within a close margin of the jugular vein on each side, and the wounds were spread open. He was questioned as to who was the guilty party and gave the name of "Big Frank" (Francisco Buboufont.) who was working on the section west of here. He was apprehended and put in jail, and spots of blood were found on his collar and shirt front, and the knife blade had been carelessly wiped and showed traces of blood. The victim of the affair was hurriedly taken to the hospital and his wounds attended, and from all indications will recover, and his recovery is considered miraculous. Just following this affair, the scene of action was transferred to the Fountain saloon. Rafugia Angel held up the bartender who opened the door to go out for coal. The man made remarks about killing him, and the bartender we understand, who was unarmed, went up the stairs in the back of the saloon. Rafugia Angel jumped the bar and took silver from the register amounting to something like $36.00 and it is presumed he intended to go through the front window, as a foot print was found in the dirt in the box of flowers. Seeing a man on the sidewalk, he turned and ran up the steps into the rooms above and started out the window. By this time Officer Harris had been notified and immediately went in search of the man. When he opened the door into the room Rafugia Angel shot at him three times, one bullet entering below the heart, striking the rib and plowing through the flesh several inches, another struck the head and one the wrist. Officers Allred, Lewis and Dankowski came upon the scene and Allred climbed on the roof of the Grand restaurant building and the man was hiding just below the window of the room, on the roof several shots were exchanged and Rafugia Angel finally gave up, and was found in the room. Allred had shot him three times, one bullet striking him in the backbone. He was placed under arrest and is in the hospital, guarded. His injuries are probably not serious as his condition still continues favorable. The man whose throat was cut is improving right along and as soon as he is able to appear in court, his assailant will be tried. We presume the charge will be "assault with attempt to kill."
