Mokoluinme hill Friday evening. The
news Of the suicide has created pro.

no disposition to take it for granted
that the act was iustigated by any NAL

Mr.. Maynard has been long time in III

Subsequent developments, tho suicide

made a complaint to Justice Hoffman
that on Tuesday afternoon Nicholas
Gmrans came to his residence and asked
for paper on which to write letter, and
that he furnished Gerrans with paper,
pen and ink, and then went out on the
porch. While on the porch Weaver
heard a chair OF bench ovcrturn aud

the last he recollects until he awakened
to consciousness-how long after he
could not tell. lie found himself all
covered with blood and badly beat, Ii
about the head aud neck. his keys and
tobacco lying on the floor and that he
had been robbed Of six shooter and
half a dollar in money. Although the

Gerrnns could not have opened 1t owing
to the popularity of the lock. He
thinks Gerrans had an idea that he had
