sult-Coroner's Inquest To-day.
For some time past bad blood has ex
istcd between Hezekiah Saunders and
August Reilly, both colored. The cause
Of the trouble was jealousy, in which
Saunders wife played conspicuous
part
Last night about $50 o'clock the two
men met at Murphy's saloon, on Twenty
first and Main streets, and took drink
together. Whisky being in, wit was out,
as usual, and the old illy-coDcealed feud
between them began to crop out. Words
passed, then blows, then pistol was
drawn by Saunders, and In few mo-
ments Reilly was laid out with his life
blood oozing out of a wound caused by
pistol shot just below the right breast
The above are all the particulars which
could be learned last night. The row oc-
curred at $50, and the wounded man
gasped out his life in two hours, dying at
1890. He said nothing after being shot
except that, Saunders shot me"
The Coroner was notified and viewed
the remains. He heard the facts as
given above, and decided TO hold
post mortem at 10 o'clock this morning
and an inquest at4 o'clock this afternoon.
At 2 O'Clock this morning Saunders had
not been arrested and has probably made
good his escape
