Tragedy in Michigan.

DETROIT, Feb. 5. Aoout II o'clock
last night, Deputy Postmaster Elmer
Sheeler was shot in the street in Union
City, Branch county, by James Soy.
The latter reached that town yester-
day forenoon and during the after
noon was drinking freely flourishlng
a revolver and vaguely threatened to
shoot somebody. At the hour named
he met Sheeler and friend walking
towards the postoffice when he ordered
them to halt, Immediately began firing.
Two balls took effect in the neck and
of Sheeler. There are small hopes of
his recovery. The young maa bore
an excellent character. Soy has not
yet been arrested. He was in the en-
ploy of Dave Holcomb at the time of
the murder in jackson county, and /
is said the pistol was of the same cal
ibre as that used in that famous trag-
edy.
