Olnim II was Murder,

OMAHA, Neb. Oct. 8.-The coroner's
inquest over the body OF May or Miller
of South Omaha, who, it was supposed
committed suicide Wednesday, 1evel-
oped that it was probably case OF
coldblooded murder. An expert test
fed that the handwriting Of the note
found on the body saying ''My head
hurts me and can stand it no longer, "
is not the mayors handwriting. The
pawnbroker from whom the revolver
was bought that was found by Miller's
side, and who at first said Miller pur-
chased it, how says it was another
ran. The woman, also, who said
Miller told her it was his last night on
earth, gives a description that does
not fit Miller. The developments have
caused sensation. The police are
puzzled, but claim to be shadowing a
suspected party.

Tried to End Her Life.

OMAHA, Oct. 8,-Grsce Williams,
as she is known in South Omaha
made an unsuccessful attempt to COM
NIT suicide yesterday morning, taking
sulphate OF atropia. The girl is about
seventeen years old and is a waitre So
at Wards oyster parlors at 2409 N
street, South Omaha, where she has
been employed for about a month.
The name OF Grace Williams is an
assumed one, the girls name being
Nellie Stalker, and her parents reside
at Beatrice. She Is an attractive bru-
nette. The poison was taken at an
early hour yesterday morning and
came near causing death. The prompt
attendance of physician and the ad-
ministering OF an antidote saved the
girls life. All day she lowered be-
tween life AMI death, but in the even
ing she was pronounced out OF danger.
Unhappy relations at home caused her
to leave, and a demand from her pa
rents that she return or be sent to the
state reformatory are supposed to be
the causes leading to the attempt at
self-destructien. Her relatives at Be-
Beatrice were notified
