The dead man was about tive fect, 5 inches tall, rather dark complexion, strongly built and would weigh about 140 pounds. He refused to give hia name to the officer and his identity remains unrevealed. Many of our people who viewed the corps» said they had seen the man on the street, but no one wes found by our reporter who knew the man’s name. He is not prepossessing in appear- necessary, and the officer whose mis- fortune it has become to put out a human life—however much we may deplor we !oss of life under any cireumstances—i3 entitled to the sympathy and encouragement of every good citizen, and all should uphold him in the discharge of even to disagreeable a duty.

Sometime Sunday night, it 18 be- lieyed, the man now cold in death, together with several pale, landed in this town. No one knows whence they came or whither they were going. Their actions were very wus- picious, however, and all their move ments have been closely watched by our city police. On Monday night they were seen to make an examina- tion of the windows, and inspection of the premises of several West End homes, among the number being the residences of T. D. Sanderson and Al. Loudermi!k. A citizen who dis- covered them, reported to Chief Beaty and was at once given a Win. chester and revolver and deputized to patrol that portion of the town. Next day (yesterday) Policeman Sam Talbot caw the same pair in the east part of town, one of them looking in at wirdows one side of the street and the other making a similar sur- vey of things as the other. Mr. Talbot followed after them. The one now dead, ran as the officer ap proached and he saw nothing more of him till a corpse. Mr. Talbot continued to follow the other man and finally overtook him. The custo- mary conversation followed, and the officer warned the fellow. But he became ugly, cursing the town and calling Mr. Talbot barsh names (we have not the epace for detailing all of the conversation) Mr. Talbot told the man he would arrest him, Beaty made the victim as comfort- able as possible and called in Dr Youngs. The physician found little pulse, and before he could make an examination to ascertain the place where the bullet entered or the di- rection taker, it was decided to remove the injured man to City Physician Nolaud’s office. Dr. No land said at once he could not live. He was ther removed to the Mer- chant’s Hotel, where he expired shortly after. and thereupon taken to the undertaking rooms of W. C. Brown, where farge erowds viewed the remains THE INQUEST. Coroner Renick arrived from But- ler on the afternoon train and at once proceeded to impanel a jury and conduct an inquest.
