A Little Boy Found Himself Lying
When He Aw0ke in a Shed.
THE BODY WAS MILLS VICTIM.
He Tells Dramatic Story of the Horrible
, Murder of Dugan.
NEWSY NOTES FROM NEARBY TOWNS

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.1
BUTLER, March 23-[Specia1. l-Several
witnesses told graphic stories of the murder
at the Mills trial here to-day. Frank Nor
ris testified that Mills and his victim, Du-
gan, early in the morning of December 8,
came into his place, and began quarreling.
They had returned from a dance and were
very drunk. Both men drew knives, but
no trouble resulted then. They parted and
Dugan went TO his boiler house and lay
down on the floor between the two Diller-
man boys Witness also said that Mills
went to another boiler house, where he told
q man named Blair that he intended to
catch Dugan asleep and kill him before
morning. He left the house shortly after
with a hammer in his hand.
Willie Dillerman. one of the boys, told a
straight and very dramatic story of how
Dugan staggered in and lay down between
him and his brother, and of bow, toward
morning, he was awakened by queer sounds
of tapping, which he thought were in
tended to waken him up. Willie sat up
and heard some one going out of the door.
The man turned, and. the boy recognized
him as Mills. He had hammer in his
hand. Soon after this the boy placed his
hand on Dugan's head, and was surprised to
find it wet. He was horrif1ed to find the
stuff was blood, which flowed from several
fearful wounds in Dugan's head. The tap
ping, he said, was made by someone hitting
Dugan on the head.
George Dillerman, father of the little boys,
said he was the first person to go to the
house. His 7-year-old boy had come home
in the morning with blood and brains on his
clothes. There were specks of blood on the
wall and window and pieces of skull lying
on the bed. After dinner Dillerman went
over to Mills boiler house and found the
hammer on a bench. After the examination
of other witnesses the prosecution closed its
case. Counsel Farquer, for Mills, in open
tify tomorrow that he did not kill Dugan.

nights in succession thieves have tried to
rob the residence of George Lysle, wealthy
resident who is travelling in Florida. and but
for the nerve and pluck OF Miss Mary Bat

attempt would have been successful. Satur.
day night the house was entered and a lot OF
eatables and other stuff taken, and on Sun
day an attempt to get in failed, as the door
which they tried to force was too well
barred.
Yesterday morning. at 2 O'Clock, door
which was barred and against which re.
frigerator was placed, was forced open, and
while two men were plundering the house
the young lady up stairs awakened. The
burglars heard her and crawled out on the
lower porch, where Miss Battomly got a
view of them, and she promptly fired at
them. Both men jumped Off the porch and
fled. Last night at a late hour an unknown
man almost beat girl to death. Her
screams for help brought citizens to the
rescue. This occurred in front Of the

drifted into Broadway chop-house where
"Honest- John Kelly was.
such a tough as you ought to be locked
up" Dlurted Kelly to Mitchell.
Mitchell fired up at once and it looked like
trouble. Then Slavin found an opportunity
to pick a quarrel with Kelly regarding John S
timing at the kilrain-Slavin fight before the
Granite Club in Hoboken last year.
81 don't think you acted square, Kelly
yelled Slavin.
well, that's a matter of opinion replied
Kelly. Every man is liable to make mis-
take. But if you are talking of honor and
reputation l will stake mine against yours.
IL you can find $4,000 backing for Your
honor / will find $50. 900 for mine. In fac ct,
personally don't think you are on the level
yourself"
Then there was small riot. but the whole
party were soon put out. Major McLaugh-
