HENRY G. COLE, Mayor of Kokomo,
Ind, was shot dead few nights ago while
surreptitiously conveying some flour from q
mill. The owners of the mill had for some
time been aware Of the loss of -four, and on
the night in question the Sheriff with q
posse had been concealed near by for the
purpose of nabbing the thief should he put
| in an appearance. At little before II
O'Clock, as the Sheriff states, a figure was
seen stealthily approaching the mill from
| the rear. The man entered the mill and
had carried out four sacks Of -four and de.
posted them near by, when he was ordered
to halt. At this he ran and volley Of
shots were fired at him. He ran about 1O(
wards from the mill and dropped on the
ground. The Sheriff's posse followed him,
and when they arrived at the spot in which
he fell they found Mayor H. c. Cole starl
dead, with q revolver in each hand. Coles
previous reputation had not been altogether
unsmirched, but he possessed certain Gle.
ments of popularity which enabled him to
achieve political preferment at the hands Of
his fellow citizens. He was elected Mayor
last spring as an Independent Democratic
candidate, owing to split in the Republican
party of the city. Coles friends allege thai
the whole affair is damnable conspiracy, in
which he met his death at the hands of bit
ter foes.
