An inquest was held yesterday after- noon in the case of H. Benjamin, the aged auctioneer, who died on Monday last of a fracturea skull, received in an altercation on the Sth uit. Ed Shirran, whom Benj the assault, was the principal wit- n He explained to the jury that on the evening in question he was walking on Market street with his wife, when Benjamin, who was with another gentle- man named Tungate, bumped into her. This was repeated, and later, when Shir- ran stepped back of his wife to_ allow some ladies to gate took hlfifflfe and kept bumping against her and staring at her. He asked Benjamin what he meant and was given an insulting reply. While trying to have Benjamin desist, Shirran was poked sev- eral times with a cane In the stomach by Tungate and forced into a corner. Shirran_called to his brother to help him and Benjamin, applying a_vile epi- thet, gaid: “Now TI'll fix you." He raised his arm to strike when Shirran assaulted him, knocking him down, and treating Tungate in a like manner. Tungate testified that he had been vis- ited by a brother-in-law of Shirran named Josselyn. who sald that the affair was the result of a mistake. Josselyn. he said, - | explained that two men had insulted Mr. | and Mrs. Shirran and that he and Shir- ran had gone back to find the men. Mrs. hirran made a mistake in pointing them out ond the row resulted. The fury retired and brought in a ver- dict “That Benjamin's death was caused by a fall precipitated by a blow struck by Fdaward R. Shirran.” After the verdict Shirran was charged at the City Prison with manslaughter and was immediately released on $3000 bail. - ——— e Order of Chosen Friends. ! be beached and ued.

The house-breaker effected an entrance Through a small window opening on the front porch. Evidently it had not been securely locked and was easily forced with a jimmy. Before discovering the | window, however, the burglar had made futile attempts to bore holes through two | hea doors on the porch. The main | door, of heavy oak, had a half-inch auger hole bored through part way into a panel | near the lock. The other door, of red- | wood, had five holes in it. They were bored close together in a small panel near the lock. One hole was entirely through and the others nearly so.
