intoxicated on the night of the killing, June

said, caused his pistol to accidentally
discharge.

Downstream
Breadline
Business is sagging in the "High Country," reports the Denver Post.
Coors brewery has announced it's
laying-off 500 people—7 percent of its
entire work force.
Company spokesman Whit Sibley says
the mass firings are unprecedented in the
company's 109-year history, adding, "We
didn't even have any during the prohibition."
The move comes amid rumors that the
firm is being sold to Coca-Cola of Atlanta,
although Sibley dismisses that report as
"hogwash."
Coors beer Bales have been sliding for
some time now, and are currently running
13 percent below a year ago.
