Following
his

Cooper
el

to
stand

on
a

charge
arising
from
the

affair,
the
wounding
of
Martin
La

proprietor.
The
date
for

trial
was
set
for
May
1,
when,
it
was
hoped,
the
uncertainty
of
La
Belle's
physical
condition
will
be
resolved.
While
La
Belle
is
at
present
able
to
give
testimony,
a
change
in

condition
might
result
in
