This weeks issue of the Milton Eagle

stance that occurred few miles from this
city, and which Is vouched for by one of
our leading and most respected citizens.
William Nichols of Milton, when gather
ing his horses from the range last
fall, found that favorite Per-
cheron colt was missing, and all efforts
to find him proved unavailing, so the
animal was abandoned to its fate, which
no one doubted would be that of the vast
number that have found their way into the
equine paradise through the inclemency of
the present unusually severe winter Dur

COWARDLY MURDER,
s Farm Laborer Shot BY Drunken Fello,
Workman

& Farm Laborer Shot by Drunken Fellow
Workman.
MADEIRA, April 2S-A cold-blooded mur-
der was committed on the Dos PaIos ranch.
near Firebaughs Ferry, twenty-five miles
southwest of MADEIRA, yesterday. August
Koenig, laborer on the ranch, went to
Firebaughs Sunday morning, loaded up on
bad whisky and went home in a fighting
mood. Koenig fiOurished a large pistol and
threatened to kill somebody. The Dos
Palos ranch is the property of Miller & Lux.
and Henry Meller was on the place yester-
day. Koenig directed his threats par,icu-
larly at Meller, and said he would kill him
and the foreman, E. S. Davis, on sight.
One Of the employees finally succeeded in
disarming the crazed German, but this en-
ragged him the more and he rushed into the
harness-Shop near by and secured shot
gun. AS he came out Henry Berger the
harness-maker, asked Koenig what ne in
tended doing with the gun. Without max
ing an answer, Koenig wheeled quickly and
about fifteen feet distant. The load
struck Berger in the breast and
killed him instantly. Koenig then held the
gun on the man who secured his pistol
and compelled him to giyeup. Armed with
this and canteen full OF water the MUIR
derer struck out across the country, ad-
monishing those present that he would kill
anyone who interfered or followed him. A
posse was formed, however, and the muir
derer was oyertaken about one mile from the
Dos Palos ranch. He was ordered to halt
and throw up his hands, but instead of
complying he showed fight. The posse
opened fire, and a rifle ball struck Koenig
just above the left eye, passed entirely
through his head and issued just back Of
the left ear. The wound was not fatal.
and Koenig was taken to Firebaughs. Feel
ing ran high there over the cowardly crime
and there was decided sentiment in favor
of lynching. Henry Miller, the cattle king,
strong speech in favor of justice. Two de-
termined men armed with rifles, kept the
crowd at bay until the feeling subsidized
somewhat, when the wounded man was
roughly thrown into wagon and brought
to MADEIRA. He was taken to Jail at Fresno
this morning. His wound will probably
result fatally.
