RLAZER HAS LITTLE FIN

Blazer never was on the best Of terms with his
rear neighbOr Mrs Giluley, and she never per-
mitted much Of her goodness to flow for Blazers
benefit. They might have lived lovingly, as good
neighbOrs should, but the difficulties in the way
Of that were two first, Blazer thought Mrs. Gilu-
ley a low minded coarse clothes wringer, too
ignorant for any use; second, Mrs. Giluley
thought Blazer delicate little high toned chap,
that didn't consider it right for her to make an
honest living so neal his door-hence the calami-
ty.
The other day Mrs. Giluley's black cat, while
on a surveying expedition, entered Blazers house
He observed 1t, and quietly told Maria he meant
TO have a little fun with that Irishwoman, If It
cost him a scratched nose. When ne mentioned
a scratched face he referred only 10 the cat and
never thought Of its owner. Blazer stroked and
coaxed Tabby until she bumped her back in
good natured way and with the aid Of little
meat he succeeded in getting a string lOoped
tightly over the index Of her mind without
scratch. There was a second hand oyster can on
the other end Of the string Then he opened the
door, elapped his hands, gave Comanche WhOop,
jumped hghtup into the air and yelled 'shooT'
and the cat went sailing through the yard, an in
deschbable streak Of black and white, the can
flying along rattle de bang over the ground.
As soon as the can had disappeared through
the fence Blazer shut the door, and he and Maria
Wilted into chairs and laughed like two maniacs.
MB. Giluley has only seven cats, and that black
one is her chief delight As it entered the house
she saw its distress, and eomprehended the situa-
ton at glance and seizing beef steak FOUNDER
and chair leg, she left the cat sitting patiently
on the can, and started out for a call She weighs
over two hundred ayOirdupOis pounds, and she
len home with the intention Of holding mass
meeting at Blazers house, and she did it.
Blazer and Maria were still laughing like two
fools, when the door suddenly opened and some
one entered-some one whose presence, with
flashing eyes and stiff, grizzly hair filed them
with q notion that laughing wasn't precisely ap-
propos at that particular moment and their two
hees, - lone, Heightened INTO an expression Of dig
ntaed superiority. But hat didn't trouble MnL

DEATH o. DIR, Mccoy.

EDITOR SENTINEL: trust. Mr.. Ed
itor, that you will permit an old friend
of Major Mccoy and Of his family, to
consider in your columns the verdict
of the Coroner's Jury rendered yester-
day, upon the body of his deceased
son. Duringthe evening, Immediately
after DIR. McCoy's death, a most pain
full rumor was circulated. to the effect
that DIR. Mccoy had Intentionally taken
his W life. This rumor was based
upon no foundation of fact; and all the
evidence taken before the Coroner, as
published in your columns, goes to
show that the shooting was accidental.
Such was, ! am informed, the OriniOn
of the majority of the jury; and I do
not intend to give offense when l say,
that canno but believe that the mi
nority, in declining to join in a verdict
of accidental death, were influenced by
precOnceived opinions based upon
empty rumor, upon the misty imper-
sOnality of "tiey say" 1t was proven
rthat DIR. Mccoy for months had been,
in disposition, genial, good tempered,
warm hearted; that less than half an
hOur before the fatal occurrence he had
returned To his residence in the best of
spirits; and that within two minutes
after rising from the table with a Joke
upon his lips and u smile upon his
! face, tho shot was discharged whereby
he met his death. 1t was further
proven that there was no prcdiSpOs.
ing aus of suicide; that his business
prospects wcrc bright; that his rela-
tons with his family and friends were
most tender and amicablc; and that
in the words of one witness-no young
man had before him Il fairer future. 1t
was further proven that at the time of
the fatal shot he was standing at an
was not more than fiftcen:feet distant;
and in this connection I would
say that it is a rule almost
without exception, that would-be sui
cides seek the most absolute secrecy
under cover of which to consummate
their awful purpose. 1t was further
proven that DR.. Mccoy was in the
habit of laying aside his pistol after
returning home, in the very room
where the accident occurred; that the
ball ranged u~JpWuT3S; that the skull
was crushed for a space of two or
three inches in diameter, and that
there Was no marx Of powt'cr upon the
.f"ce. A suicide would have placed the
pistol close to his head and fired d.
ycctty into the brain; and it is well
known that Il ball at short range makes
Il wound no larger than itself. and
when fired within a few inches the
marks of powder are always plain up
on the surface abou: the wound. The
evidence of the surgeon alone is more
than sufficient to rebut the idea of in
tention.
TO suppose DR.. Mccoy guilty of sui
c,de is to suppose a concurrence of
four or five physical ana moral inn
possibilities, and respectfully sub
init that upon the fact the jury should
so lave found what the entire COM
muniiy now believes. He was a
Young inan of noble impulses, of
genial character, devoted to his par
cnts; by whOia he was equally be-
loved, and with the promise before him
OF a mos happy future. Why should
he take his own life, and why should
such an idle, cruel runlor meet with a
moments crcdcnce? H..
