fracture to the skull had been caused by
a Kick from a horse. While Mr. Comes
was here yesterday he reiterated this
opinion. Some of those who served on the
coroner jury say that il has not done its
whole duty. Others say that all the witness

requested that several persons who were
supposed to know something about ne mat

Judging from the great interest taken i'm the
case by Mr.. Merrick, As well as by Sheriff
wallace and Others, that no stone has been
left unturned by them i'm their investigation,
and that ell of the facts will be sent before
The grand jury for their consideration. The
county reward of $50 is still outstanding for
information that will lead TO the arrest of the
murderer, but those vino have exerted them

the reward offered; that is, TO clear up cloud
which has hung over this matter in the coun-
