A COwARDLY DEED.
4 Weli-Known Merchant Assassluated
by Unknown Persons


JACKSON, Miss. May 2S.-Mr. A.
NJ. Kimball, a prominent merchant Of
this city, was assassinated near his
residence early yesterday morning.
The killing was done with a stick or
some blunt instrument.
The key to his store was missing and
the store had been broken open, but
nothing missing could be discovered.
One theory is that Kimball caught
burglars in the act Of robbing his store
and was killed In the fight that fol.
lowed. The family do not share In this
theory, but have one of their own,
which they refuse to divulge
During the war Mr. Kimball was
public printer Of Mississippi. He was
afterwards connected with several news
papers in this city. Later he was re.
cciyer Of public moneys under Grants
administration.
