About toaF o'clock Monday ate
honn considerable excitement occurred
ON the streets, esusesi by report that
man had fallen dead Ia the Mint

found the report true. From what we
could learn, il occurred rs follows:
The man, whose name is Il. Meilus,
caIue into the saloon and sat down in
a chair. soon tie arose and went into
the lunch house next door, and asked
the man there TO show him IN stairs
over the Mint. He acted quite
strangely. The lunch man then
showed him to the stairway Ia
the rear Of the Mint aud left
aim. He took his seat on the
second step from the bottom, and
remained in that position long
time. Luke Dunn noticed him several
times but thought he was asleep. lie
remained there over an hour Finally
somebody came in and said the man
was dead. On examination il was
found 80 be true. y police officer was
sent for, and in tNe meantime they
carried him out and took him to the
Lamar Hotel, where he had been stop
ping. Drs. Thurston, Field and others
examined him, and pronounced bis
death TO have been caused by apOpltx Ky
or hypertrophy of the heart. Mr.. w. c.
Conner and his brother Immediately
came down and took charge OF the
body, as he was an old friend OF theirs

and the hotel people supposed that he
had gone away. On notification of !
