OTHER MATTERS
JACK Miller, who had been working
on farm for Henry Scenften, living
near Pigeon Run, and who received from
his employer seVenty-three dollars,
balance of his summers wages,
last Monday took one Of Mr.. Scentter's
horses and came to the city. Monday
evening about o'clock he was at Jacob
CUllerd' where he tried to buy a horse,
A short time after he left, Mr.. CulIers
heard several shots fired and In the
morning the horse, unhitchad from the |
spring wagon, was tied to the fence
near Pigeon Run. The dash # the wag-
on had several bullet holes through it !
and Miller was gone. No blood was
found on the wagon or near 1t,
but 1t Is the belief that Miller
has been fOnlly dealt with. |
Two men, named Greg. Davis and
Jcbes Hitzly, living at the Patch, and
were heard to make threats against |
Miller, were arrested and locked up. Il |
is supposed that Miller drew out Of the |

had 1t with him when he made his |
mysterious disappearance.
