COUPLE ASSULTED, HUSBAND MURDERED
James Bryson, a cattle rancher, was found robbed and brutally murdered this week. A hand weapon of large caliber had been placed at his head and fired. His wife, also a victim of the murderer, Benjamin Coey, is recovering from her terrifying experience in the home of relatives. So far, law enforcement officers have been unable to apprehend Coey, who has already killed two of the posse. The brothers of Mrs. Bryson, Joseph and William Gage, are with the posse.
Fee
$1000 for Coey alive

Quotes
“To know her was a liberal education.”
Paladin
“Though her mien carries much more invitation than command, to behold her is an invitation to loose behavior; to love her was a liberal education”
Robert Steele attribution to Lady Elizabeth Hastings, his wife
“Steele also did not ill describe, though briefly, the charm of being with a woman whom he greatly admired when he said ‘that to be much with her was in itself a liberal education.’”
Arthur Helps, “Realmah”
“Was it not in this age,”says Mr. Lowell,
“that loose Dick Steele paid to his
wife the finest compliment ever paid
to a woman when he said, ‘that to know her was a liberal education?’”
James Russell Lowell in “My Study Windows”
“Reading maketh a full man.”
Paladin
“Reading maketh a full man;
conference a ready man; and writing an exact man.”
Francis Bacon
“Thrice armed is he that hath his quarrel just and four times he that gets his fist in fust”
Paladin quoting an English proverb
“ Thrice is he armed that hath his quarrel just; and four times he who gets his fist in fust.”
Henry Wheeler Shaw
