DEATH OF WILLIE HERBERT.

Rarely does a greater misfortune be-
fall two worthy and happy families
than that now bearing upon those OF
Mr.. Geo. keenan, and Mr.. Herbert OF
South Bend, caused by the unfortunate
shooting of Willie Herbert by the Kee-
nan boys. The circumstances OF the
shooting are well known to our readers
and all will regret to learn that the
wounded boy is dead. He died last
Wednesday afternoon after two weeks
of suffering, during which time all that
skill and attention could accomplish
was done to save his life and relieve
the stricken families of this terrible
blow.
A complaint was sworn out by Sol
Taylor for the arrest of George and
Samuel Keenan,, and Sheriff Monks
took them into custody. They were
brought to the city and will have nre-
liminary examination tomorrow. Yes
terday morning Coroner Paddock sum-
moned a jury of six persons, viz: Har-
ry Brown, Chas. Wise, ]. c. McMahan,
Chas. Brown, ID. Goseman and ID. Da-
Wis, and held legal inquest on the re-
mains of the dead boy. Three witnesses
were sworn, Dan Williams, Geo. Tay-
lor and DR.. Andrews. The evidence of
Williams and Taylor agreed in the
main, and is, in substance, as follows:
They went to Mr.. Keenan's garden, on
the evening of Sept. Sd, and entered
the melon patch in company with the
deceased. After looking carefully and
seeing no one about, they proceeded to
help themselves, and Willie Herbert
had picked up melon when a shot
was fired at them from behind corn
shock. They ali ran iFSi3'ert still car
rying the melon, and after they were
outside the gate four more shots were
fired, and Herbert remarked that he
was shot. They continued to run and
the deceased feeling weak dropped the
melon, when the other boys picked it
up and carried it along. After reach
ing the top of South Bend hill the,
wounded boy felt faint and stopped.
They examined the wound but could
see very little blood. He rested awhile
and started again, after going short
distance he stopped and laid down,
but was encouraged after time to pro-
coed again, and finally reached home.
He had been splitting blood but the
boys did not deem him severely hurt,
and when he was home they went on.
DR.. Andrews testified relative to the
nature of the wound, and deemed it
sufficient to cause death. After the
testimony was completed the jury
brought in the following verdict.
That VIM. Herbert came to his
death by missile shot from some fire
arm in the hands of some person or
persons unknown to the jury, on the
night of the Sd of Sept. 1884.
The families are both heavily OPP
pressed by this most deplorable occur
renee, and none more 50 than Mr..
Keenan's people. Both families are
highly respected, and bear unquestion-
able regulations as to all that goes to
make upright and worthy citizens, and
have the heartfelt sympathy of the
whole community in this severe trial.
A post-mortem examination was held
on the remains, but strange to say, the
bullet could not be found, without mu-
tilating the body more than the friends
desired.
