The flames started on the north side of

and with a very strong wind blowing from

Taney County ana His Deputy.
ST. LOUIS. July IA special from Ozark,
Mo-. SAYS: Granville Vaughn. a thor
oughlv reliable gentleman, who resides in
this county, has just arrived from Kirby
Vile, fancy County. with the intellie
that at the Fourth of July celebration
there the two Niles brothers, Bill
and Jim. shot and killed the sheriff
Of Taney County, G. E. Bransoa.
and his deputy. Ed Funk. The latter
was the deputy who assisted Sheriff Bran
son in the encounter with the burglars at
Cummings store on Bear creek last week,
in which the alleged detective, Dennis
was killed by young Combs.
The Miles boys are under indictment for
the murder of the Bald Knob leader, Cap
tain y. n. Kinney, at Forsythe last August
and were to be tried for that crime in
Spring feld as soon as the new Grimm al
court there should be organized. Their
cases were taken from fancy County to
Green, on a change of venue. and they
have teen out on bail for the last three
months. James Berry is still in the
Springfield Jail, charged with being an
accessory to the murder of Kinney.
The account of the double murder at
Kirbyville is to the effect that the Miles
brothers were ordered TO dissrm BY the
sheriff but instead drew their weapons
and opened fire on Branson and Funk,
and killed them both.
Sheriff Branson was elected last fall.
and like all the fancy County officers.
was a Republican. His brother. R. S.
Branson. il the pre- sent county and circuit
clerk of Taus.y The Bransons belonged to
the Bald Knob organization and the Miles
brothers to the Sticker or anti-Knobber
faction The duty of preserving thu peace
in fancy County will fall temporarily into
the hands of Coroner Madison Day and il
is highly probable that be will have his
hanis full for the dance of death which
has been opened up in the last two weeks
