a few minutes before 8 tonight by Ofllcers
Cyrus Smith and William Solomon. Tho.v
both lodged -14-hullot In him and ho died
Instantly. Tno ofllcors had been on the look
out for Malm lor several hours. During the
afternoon ho terrorized the Missouri Pucilic
yards because Conductor Stone had laid him
off as a brakoman. Mr > hn had bcoa drunk
with raorphino nud whisky for a week or
moro and Stone was compelled to got rid of
him. Matin armed himself and once was
on the point of killing the conductor with a
pistol , but Stone , by getting down on his
Alices and begging in the name of his wife
and children , induced tha craved man to re
lent. Still ho pursued Stone , who took
refuge in Superintendent Hathburn's oftlco
down town. The chief of police was notified
from Mr. Hathburn's ofllco and the two oltl-
curs were detailed to take the matter In
hand. They found Matin at thu corner of
Sixth and Commercial streets. Malm drew
hin pistol , but the ofllccrs wcro two
quick for him. They fired simultaneously ,
both bullets taking effect. As Malm fell
his weapon was discharged , but without oi
led. Mnhn died less than soventy-flvo
yards from where ho himself bad killed

hind tno pair ns they were riding in a buggy
and shot Wells in the bacit. For this crime
Mahn was convicted of murder in
the ilrst degree and sentenced to death
by Judge A. G. Otis. As the death penalty
in Kansas only means lmprisonmentfor lifo ,
Mahn was not hanged and by the efforts of
his relatives his sentence was finally com
muted lo len years , 'this was reduced by
good behavior , ana ho was discharged in
UuconiDor , Ib83. For a long Inno ftlahn
avoided drink and morphine and tried to
lead an industrious life , but the old habit
got the best of him , and six mouths ago
ho returned to both morphine and
wluskv. It scorned to bo his fate to
die wiln his boots on. In former
years ho was always ready with his pistol
and was at the head of many scrapes Ho
3ti co sent Dutch Bill word that ho would
kill him , but the penitentiary caught hiui'bo-
fore ho could carry out his throat , and about
live years ago a desperado killed Bill in
Now Mexico and saved Mahn the trouble.
Mahn comes of a good family and has rela

tom of the buggy , opened It ntul from It
took n revolver , the murrlo of which she
placed against her left breast. Thou fed-
lowed the bhnrp report of the weapon ,
which , as she throw'up her urms , foil on
tbo ground behind the buggy. The deed
was douo BO coolly and quickly that tnoso
who had been observing her from tbo side-
wnllc did not divine her purpose until it was
too late to prevent its accomplish
ment. A gentleman sprang forward
at the sound of the explosion and
reached the buggy just in time
to Catch Miss White as she wits falling from
