Jury Klimlly lociilr that Willie Muurrr Shot Emily. WEST POINT. Neb. , May 26. ( Special Telegram to The Bee. ) The coroner's jury lias completed' Its Investigation of the kill ing of the Maurer girl and late this evening brought in a verdict of intentional killing on the part of the brother. In the Investi gation the boy resolutely denied hiving ever fired a pistol or having been near the barn when his sUter was shot , although the sister In a conscious moment before dying yesterday afternoon made the statement before sev eral witnesses that her brother Willie had shot her. The boy simply makes a general denial of everything that tends to implicate him in the murder of his sister. He testi fies that he was in the house when the fatal shot was fired , and hearing the shot he ran down to the barn and discovered his sister in her death agony. The jury thereupon repaired to tlie barn and fired off the same pistol , to see if is could be heard in the house. The sound was not audible there. The dying evidence of the sister is that on which the boy is held. Kearney rrcurliur It KEARNEY. Neb. , May 26. ( Special to The Bee. ) Rev. W. E.

Kem , any town In this district that does not sport at least one candidate can be de clared dead. John T. Mallalleu of Kearney. an avowed aspirant , was looking up his ptcspcctlve fences in this section of the district some time ago. He appears to have quite a following in the southern part of the district. Judge Klnkald is In the race , and expects to win. The judge has many admirers in the Fifteenth judicial district , where he has presided lor some years past , and his followers c'alm ' he can carry more votes outside of his own party than any other man. Certain It is that he is a strong man for the place. Hailing from the same place ( O'Neill ) comes Colonel A. L. Towle , who is of the opinion that he can carry the honors gracefully , and report has It that he carries considerable weight In his own vicinity.
