Shot by Footrnds :lnd Dies In His
own Observation-Disclosures the Cause
of the Crime.

Mankato, MINI, Sept. a coWardiy
murder was committed in this city early
yesterday morning, and no clue has =. YET
been obtained as to the perpetrator. q Inc !. !
victim was Harry NJ. Walrayen, the
young proprietor Of sample room ana
restaurant. He closed his place OF b,lsi-
ness at 1 a. M, placed $22a.4o IN ms
pockets, and walked home, only lew
blocks. Upon reaching his front YARD
he was set upon by an unknown footpad
and a terrible struggle ensued, which
awakened the neighbors. Walrayen IS
thought to have been getting the better
of his assailant, when the latter drew a
revolver aud put ball through wal
ravens heart, killing him almost instant
ly. The murderer Disappeared, and no
trace has yet been found except some
foot prints through the garden to the
alley. These are impressions OF pointed,
fashionable shoes. The murderer must
have stood some little distance from his
victim when he fired, as there We're no
powder burns on Nalraven's clothes.
The bullet passed through the heart and
took course to the right slightly down
ward, and lodged under the skin at the
right side Of the back This was revealed
by a post mOrtem examination. AS
sistance arrived in a few moments and
the dead man was found lying face down
ward on the lawn. His money had not
been disturbed, but his watch chain was
broken in three places. The theory OF
the crime most generally accepted is
that he was assaulted with the intent OF
robbery and thaxhe may have recognized
his assailant, and that the latter to cover
his deed shot him. Being. frightened by
his act he did not wait to rob the body
