Some one had made a complaint

house at a dance to help stop a
fight , and it is thought that because
of. his responding to this call that
someone reported him to the warden
at.Lincoln. Judge Walcott went
down to Lincoln this week to in

than likely that Mr. Grooms will
not have to go back.

the Alliance 'Herald :
"Henry Miller and James Connolly
nelly had become involved in dispute -
! pute over the ownership of cattle
! that had strayed or were stolen.
Ono animal a steer that was in
Connolly's possession , was the
principal contention. Connolly
was in alliance last , Monday , when
Miller informed him of his intention -
' ion of going after the steer. The
j same day the de-ceased , accomp'an-
! ied by Harry Desch , went out to
Sioux county arriving at the Connolly -
nelly ranch Tuesday forenoon.
, They were met by Lou Hay , an
employee , to whom Mr. Miller
( explained his errand and asks for
, Connolly. When told that he was
not in the house he went out to
find him and have a talk over the
matter. According to the evidence
of Desch , Miller saw Connolly a
short distance away and went to
ward him when Connolly fired with
a riile and Miller fell dead , his
body being pierced with a bullet.
Connolly is then said to have rode
horseback towards Scotts Bluif.
Harry Desch and Lou Ray at
once went to neighboring ranches
and gave the alarm. The coroner
of Sioux county was notified but
failing to arrive by Wednesday
evening , the remains of the mur
dered man were brought to his
home in this city by Guy Lock-
wood , who went to take charge of
the body.
The funeral of Mr. Miller was
held from the family residence this
afternoon and was attended by a
large number of friends who in life
held him in the highest esteem.
