WANTON MURDER.
A Colored Man Named Peter
Cokeley Kills q Colored
Youth Of Seventeen.
And Then, Under Pretence of
Going. for Q Doctor, Makes
Hrs Escape

This morning about ten O'Clock
party Of coloreR men we're loungin
around in the vicinity of the mario,
gauge depot waiting to go to work
Some four or Eve of them were en-
gagged in playing a game of cards. an,
among the number was Peter Cokeley
a six-foot. ssddle-colored negro, (sait
to be half negro aud halt Indian) aged
between twenty-five and thirty years
In the immediate vicinity were
several other negroes. and among
them colored hoy no; yet seventeen
years old. This latter party had been
playing and. fooling among themselves,
and after some scuffiing Stanford ran
up where the card players were seated.
As be approached them, Cokeley sang
out, "Rau!" meaning it for Stanford.
The boy did go, and in an instant
Cokeley pulled out a ive-sho: revolt
YER, shooting a 81 calibre ball, and
fred. The ball took effect in the
back of the head, near the neck. 60
ing clear through the head. The boy
fell and expired in about ten minutes.
As soon as CokeIey had fired he
saw the effect of his work, SO he
grabbed up bis cnat and made his
escape, running north on the NJ, X.
4 T. track. under the plea of going
for . doctor. There were some twenty
negroes in the party. but NJ one made
an attempt to stop the murderer. 1t
was as clear a case of cold -blOOded
murder as was ever recorded.
Word vas Immediately dispatched
up town, and parties started in pursuit
OF Cokeley. but at this writing no
clue as to where he has gone had been
obtained. He had been boarding
with a colored man named Smith,
north If the railroad, but he had not |
heen there after the shooting. .
He has been in this city about Que
year, having come from the Indian
Territory. and has been working on
the narrow gauge for some time. He
had on when he left dark c"lOred
pants, blue WOODEN shirt. straw hat;
he is If slim build. and his front teeth
protrude; while he has small, round,
black eyes. his neck being long and his
face small |,
The deceased had formerly worked
On the narrow gauge. but was not en-
ployed there at present. His parents
reside in Cotton's addition. aud as his
father sat beside the corpse, it was
but q pleasant sight to wit
ne8.
Coroner jones was notified, aud I
.fter viewing the remains he decided
70 hold an inquest at l o'clock this
afternoon. /,
THE VERDICT.

THERE was public trial of the H.
gersoll rock drill at the works OF the
Capital Ice Company, on Saturday
forenoon. This company not only
kindly volunteering the use of steam
from their boiler, but adding thereto q
cordial Invitation to spectators Of the
rock drill performance to witness the
process of removing ice from their
watts. Promptly at the time stated,
$40, the drill began work upon a
large block of stone that had been
bedded solidly in the earth. Several
holes two inches In diameter were
drilled. Sixteen inches were drilled
in two and half minutes; the rock is
the ordinary lime stone of which our
buildings are constructed. Upon ex-
animation of the drill it was
found that the stone had made
so little impression upon the steel
that the fire marks of the blacksmith
were yet to be seen. An inspection of
the ice works was then made by those
who dared to venture from the heat of
the sun to the refrigerating atmosphere
of the ice vsts. Blocks of transparent
dOOub WV lCCO III ny ClkAI
feet In length, by six inches in thick
ness were beng holsted out of the
