25-year-old Herman Hollis of Sheridan was shot and fatally wounded in the gambling room of the Kentucky Saloon in Sheridan about 8:30 last night. After committing the deed, the murderer, who kept the room’s other occupant at gunpoint, seized $120 that was on the table and escaped. Mr. Hollis died at the state hospital here this afternoon.
