KILLED IN A ROW.

A man named Joe Morgan of Weir
City was shot through the head and
killed Monday afternoon by one Of the
French brothers, party Of travelling
horse racers. The affair occurred on
the race track between Scammon and
Weir and the difficulty arose over the
fact that Morgan, who bad been cho-
sen stakeholder, refused to turn over
the money for the reason that the win
ner had not been fully agreed upon.
The Trenches became very angry and
while attempting to take the money
fsem Morgan revolvers were drawn
and several shots exchanged. French
admitted that he killed Morgan. A
man named StOker was also arrested
with the balance Of the offending par
ties.
1t Is said that while Morgan lay
dying the Trenches stood over him
with drawn pistols and took the money
from his body that had been put up
OH the races.
Personal feeling was wrought up to
a wonderful degree in Scamnon and
Weir over the killing and excitement
ran high for q while.
The coroner held an inquest Monday
evening.

J. n. Humphrey q Sons. Grocery Stool
Entirely Consumed Yesterday Morning.


Entirely Consumed Yesterday Morning.
About 4 o'clock yesterday morning
people living In the vicinity of Militia.
ry and Sheridan streets were startled
and aroused from slumber by the cry
of fire. Dense volumes of smoke were
issuing from the One-story brick build
ing Of w. d. Hornor on the west side,
occupied by ]. H. Humphrey 3 Sons
grocery. August Rehm, G. d. Me-
serve, John West, Col. March and G.
n. Tindall were among the first 10
reach the scene, but the room was 90
full of smoke that It was utterly i'm
possible to get into it TO save any OF
the stock. Col. March made an at.
tempt to break open the front door by
kicking II and was severely cut by the
falling plate glass, q large piece OF
which struck him across the front
6f the right WRIT severing q number
of tendons and arteries and making q
serious and painful wound. Notwith-
standing this he ran to the M. E.
church and with his left hand rang
the bell O few moments to arouse the
people to sense of their danger.
Seeing that it was useless to attempt
to save the building or stock, every ef-
fort was directed toward saving the
adjoining buildings, which was ac-
complished after an hour or more OF
very hard and careful work OIL the part
of few who worked at q great dis
advantage from the fact that water
was very scarce and no tools were to
he had TO work with. The building
of West & %. on the north and Henry
Ohlen's building on the south (both
brick) were on fire at different times,
but were saved with slight damage to
the walls aud fronts. The burned
building was completely gutted, the
only part left intact being the brick
front projecting cornics held up by
two iron columns. This was c0nsid-
erably warped by the intense heat and
for safety should be torn down imme-
diately. The wind, q gentle breeze,
was from the north, which was ex.
tremely fortunate. Had it been from
the south the West & Co. and August
Rehm two-story buildings Oh the
north could not have been saved and
probably the whole group Of four
buildings would have gone.
j. II. Humphrey u Son estimate
their lose on stock, shelving and fix
lures at $500; insurance $1,000. The
burned building was insured for
81, 200, while the damages 10 all ad-
joining buildings are fully covered by
insurance.
As to the origin of the fire no one
seems to have q definite idea. Mr..
Humphrey says that when they left
the store about 8 o'clock the evening
before there was some fire in the stove
as they usually left it, with the door
wide open. to keep until morning.
The very dense smoke in the room
when the fire was first discovered is
evidence that it must have been smoul-
dering several hours and made it ut.
terly impossible to see juFt where the
fire was or had begun to burn, but 1t
is supposed by many that in some way
the floor became ignited by fire from
the stove. Others hold the opinion
that an incendiary did d. bnt there is
no substantial evidence either way,
consequently the matter remains .
mystery.
