A coroner's jury was impaneled

to the cause oi his death.
It is t'lai iir.'il by I'ovi II :ih 'II people

' s i J.r.' I he Kid is a "sure tiling
gambler and highwayman who has
served several sentences in the
county jail for robbery and niiniir
ollences. Dully was under ifiiKI
bonds lor his appearance at the
next term of district court for rob
bery from the person, committed
on Peter Mollitcr of this county
last April. Puffy claimed his home
at St. Funis. He leaves a wile.
Sherilf Wynu about a month ago
endeavored to suppress pri.e light
ing in Covington ami arrested two
principals who were about to enter
the ring, but when the case was
called in court it was dismissed by
County Attorney McAllister. Since
then Covington has been more un
lawful than ever, but the happening
last night will probably end the
sport, as the tax payers are becom
ing indignant at the amount of use
less prosecution necessary lo main
tain peace in that place.
ShcrilT Wyan tonight brought up
from Covington and lodged in
jail Jack Keefe, principal; Hilly

not return without a reipiisitiou.
Complaint will be lodged against
the prisoners as soonns the coro

were scared nearly lo death, and
hurrying along the I'ttle path
through the Weeds they emerged
onto Dodge street and told the
fu st people the) met. a couple of
inmates of a low resort, of their
discovery. A police whistle was
blown by one of the women and an
ollicer hurried down tbd hill, lie
was directed to the locality and
alter looking at the bloody (ot Hi,
called the patrol wagon.
The ollicers with the stretcher
!ecoglii.ed the mail as C. P. Miller,
mayor o! South Oniah i. The doc
tor was at the jail as soon as the
wagon with the dying mayor ar
rived, and was at once ordered to
carry the patient to the Methodist
hospital.
An examination showed that a la
calibre bullet had 'entered the h it
side of the forehead near the
temple and that the left e e was
l)ing down on the cheek, hanging
only by a lew shreds of Uesh. Dr.
Soiners probed for the bullet and
traced its course for a short
tam e but could not lind il.
In Mayor Miller's pockets were
found his watch, cards and docu
ments which proved his identity be
yond a doubt. The police obtained
the information that two women
who lived down near the Jones
street dump had seen the man raise
the weapon to his head and lire but
the women could not be found mid
diligent inquiry among the resi
dents of the quarter where the dy
ing man was found did not throw
any light on the subject. All the
women denied having heard a shot
lired.
Dr. Somers worked with his pa
tient for a couple of hours and when
he left the hospital to answer
another call he staled that Miller
could live but a little while. At ten
o'clock the nurses said the mayor
was still alive but that he was sink

Mayor Miller was unconscious

has recalled to mind a chapter in
the history of that famous property
which came near ending in the dis
grace of the 1'nited States minister
at the court of St. Janiew, when Gen

ore was struck. He and his Fng
