the WEAPON was found broken off III the lower
part of the victims back bone. The broken
blade had to be pulled out with pair OF horse
shoe pinchars Dr George thinks that the heart
thrust was the first Of tie knife wounds Miller
received and that Dr. Walker lnus sT have held
showed that Dr. Walker had received in al ses-
en- bullet wounds, and his arm had been broken
below the elbow by chair.
Though he lost consciousness for few min
utes in the courtroom, DR.. Walker quickly re
covered and was carried down to his home. He
knew that his wife. whom he called BETTE, was
wounded, He asked if she was dead, then asked
a mortal wound in the bowels He added that
he had no regret for having to die
The shot which killed Mis- Walker passed
through the base of the brain from one sid Il
the head to the other. Death inst 'ntane-
Gus. Or: Walker died in his own home at one
ter the ARRAY.
Justice Bosworth, acting as eoroner, held an
inquest on the bodies of the victims, and the
jury rendered verdict that James miller killed
Mrs. Walker that DR.. Walker Killed by piS-
t2d Slq.s reu oy 'e Msr pdHs Mltn i IVA
father, was killed by Or. Walker.
This makes three Killed, but Dr. George is pos
tive that d. O. Miller will be added to the list,
as he is mortaly wounded in the back in way
similar to the fatal shot which killed President
Garfield. T. A. Beaver. another participant IL,
the ARRAY, has a knife wound in the neck, and
John Henpsey is slightly wounded by u pistol
shot in the side. :
1t is wonderful in so crowded room and with
such a general firing that more people We re not
hurt. nuIaber of those present were scratched,
and several had bullets sent through their hats
and clothing, The walls of The Temperance
Temple show the battle sears ttieK, ana the
Sheet-if0n pipe of the stove I'd He'd by bull
lets. On tile floor where Mrs. Walser died is a
large puddle of blood. and the floor is sprinkled
with gore.
The question was asked Justice .csworth
where all the pistols came from, and he an
swered that it was i'll evidence before the coro-
ners inquest that four or five pistols were
brought into the room after the alterca tioE be-
gan between DR. Walker and Henry Miller. The
Justice says these weapons included several va
rietieS of reyOlverS, and it is said that one man
had gun. There were five of the Miller family,
the father and four sons, engaged in the affair
Three of the Miller boys, James, George and
William, are in jail at Lexington, along with
John Reese, charged with aiding ard abettng
while David Miller is under charge OF the sheriff
until the result of his wound is ascertained.
''Nolandine" is not a "cure all, :" but if
you are suffering from a torpid liver Or
bad blood, it will give you wonderful re-

Philadelphia Bulletin President
Harrison is reported to have said that
the position of the administration to-
ward Malone in the recent campaign in
Virginia was not one of friendliness. He
even intimates that Malone in forcing
the party organization to accept his lead
er-ship to the exclusion of the dissatisfied
republicans, violated his promise last
summer, that the party of the old Do
miniOn should be united on a basis fair
to all conflicting interests. 1t is evident
that the president is by no means dis
turbed at the downfall of Malone, and
it is not likely that many other Republic
cans will take it seriously to heart He
has shown himself to be politician who
cannot be trusted and he will not be
permitted to deceive the party a second
time.
