The Inquest.

~, Coroner Paddock summoned the fol-
lowing jury Saturday: S. s..
Smith, B. f. Shafer, S. W. Callahan,
w. H. Glenn, John Dates and Cor
nelious Rudd. The inquest was held
at the residence of Mr.. Leisner, I'M
der the shade of the trees in the
front yard. The testimony confirmed
the facts as given above, and added
few, which we take from the testi-
mony.
Harry Abbott testified that Leis-
ner was rocking on his front porch in
his rocking chair just before the
( shooting. After the shooting he fell
forward upon the brick walk leading
to the front gate, and tried to get up
again but could not. He said to Jay
Chittenden, jay, is that you?" and
asked him for the revolver.
Jay Chittenden testified that he
went for the police and doctor and
when he returned about ten minutes
later Leisner had spoken to him and
asked him for the revolver. The
shooting occurred at $40 p. m. Leis-
ner told man during the afternoon
that he had taken his last drink.
Willie Chittenden saw the shooting
and saw Leisner raise the revolver to
his head again after shooting and be-
fore falling, as though attempting to
shoot again. He was alone and shot
. only once. He identified the revolver,
which is an old one and has two
empty chambers.
M. r. Abbott said that Leisner was
living alone in his house. An hour
before the shooting he went across
the street to witnesses house and
wanted to sell him rocking chair, as
he had said ten days ago that he in
tended to sell all his things among
his neighbors for his wife's benefit.
Witness asked him to sit down and
stay, but he would not and said he
could not be contented unless NOV
: ing, and also remarked either to wit
ness or to himself as he was leaving,
But that's not the worst of it,"
James Thackary testified that a
moment before the shooting Leisner
was smoking in an apparently con-
tented manner. After he fell forward
the revolver lay at his right side and
after gaining consciousness he tried
to reach for it, and called for it. Mr..
Abbot had picked it up and put it out
of his reach. 1t was an old 3S calibre
Remington revolver.
q, The jury brought in the following
!, verdict:

COMMITTED SUICIDE.
CHAS LEISNER FINDS SOLACE
IN DEATH.
The Cause of His Rash Act is Traced
to Whisky-Was a Good Citizen
and Workman When Sober-After
Shooting Himself Death Resulted
in Three Hours-An Inquest Held.

Chas. LeiSner whose home is 322
Minnesota street, committed suicide
last night by shooting himself in the
head with revolver.
The fatal shot was fired at 500
o'clock Friday and Leisner was
in an unconscious state until o:45
o'clock, when death released him from
his sufferings.
Leisner was at times heavy drink
er, and this had gotten him into trou-
BILE several times with the officers.
He was on one his sprees this week,
and yesterday was still under the
influence of liquor. His weakness IN
doubtedly brought on mental de-
preston.
Last evening Leisner sat on his
front steps and there fired bullet in
to his brain, the ball entering his
right temple and lodging over the left
eye. He attempted to fire again,
reeled and fell forward upon his face
onto the brick walk, while blood
spurted from his wound. The firing
attracted number of people to the
spot, who picked the wounded man
up and carried him into the house.
Drs. Andrews and Harrington were
summoned, but they realized at once
that death was inevitable, and all
they could do was to make the I'M
fortunate mans last moments as free
from pain as possible. Leisner died
at S:45 o'clock, without having re-
gained consciousness.
Coroner Paddock took charge of the
body, and after ascertaining the
facts in the case decided to hold an
inquest.
Leisner was born in Prussia and was
about So years of age, He served
through the Franco-Prussian war,
and afterwards emigrated to Ameri-
ca. He is brick maker by trade, and
was employed at Panenburg & Pays.
His wife is an inmate of the asylum
at St. Peter, where she has been for
a year or more. A son resides in Mil

An Evening Drive.

It is becoming quite the custom for ladies, gentlemen and children to drive out about sundown after warm day, minus their hats. It is common sight to see two or three ladies in a carriage, all hatless, jogging out North Central avenue, the favorite driveway, about as far as the Simms addition, the favorite high class residence district, and then back and up and down the sprinkled streets of the town until thoroughly ceefed of.

The Silver Belt of last week had an interesting article on the subject of the Indian troubles. The article is all the more interesting now since it foresaw things which have in part already come to pass. There is reason to believe that unless early and more vigorous steps are taken by the government, the situation will soon become more grave.
 Said the Silver Belt: There is evil dence on every side of dissatisfaction among the agency Indians and urepara- tion for tostiities. Pow-wows, at which toulpai (tiswin) is freely drunk, are of freuuent occurrence at the Indian camps along the Gila river, and the h. dians are making extravagant offers for guns and ammunition-a wagon and two ponies for Winchester and cart ridges, and one pony for thirty cart ridges. Ben Fox of Globe was offered $1 for six cartridges by Indians who are here on leave of absence. Certainly there are enough signs of impending trouble to warrant the authorities at San Carlos to take steps to curb the un- ruly Indians and avert threatened dan ger. If necessary, and We believe it ad- visable, regarrison San Carlos with troops and double the rations of the h. diane. Much of the discomfort arises from their poverished condition, many of them being on the verge of starvation.
 The people of Gila county have a vivid recollection of past Indian out. breaks and dread their recurrence. Aside from the bloodshed and plunder incident thereto, the cost of the trial of Indian criminals is heavy burden Gila county is now ont $7,S73 4S, and interest amounting to about $S,000, in cured in the trial of Indian malefactors on the reservation, and which thus far she has been unable to recover from the United States, although the justice of the claim is not disputed.

BRITATNS TLTINATUM
Opinions Of the British Press on
Salisbury's Latest Move,
TIL" OUTRAGBs BY VBNBzUELANs"

London Newspapers Prove to Their own
Satisfaction That tho Existing Compli-
Can in No Way BE ATeoied by the
Monroe Doctrine of the United stntea.
LONDON, Oct 21.-The st. James Ga
zette follows up its disclosures regarding
the policy of the Right Hon. Joseph
Chamberlain, secretary of state for the
colonies, regarding Venezuela and the
apparent determination Of the British
government to uphold its claims by force
of arms, by making the following impor-
tant statement:
1--WE are in position to state that the
Marquis of Salisbury has sent an ulti-
matum to President Crespo, which not
only sets out the demands Of the British
government for reparation on account of
this arrest of the deputation and inspec-
tors of police at Uruan, but it also states
the terms upon which Great Britain will
definitely determine the boundary dispute
with that republic The ultimatum is now
en- route to President Crespo, if it is not
already delivered to him"
The Times and The Chronicle this morn
ing print articles explaining in detail the
position of the Venezuelan matter, the
latter paper especially as regards the
American point of view as indicated by
official reports issued from Washington
"There is no doubt" The Chronicle says
"that the United States is determined to
bring about an early settlement Of the dis
pute No answer to Mr.. Bayard's dispatch
to Lord Salisbury has yet been received at
the embassy"
The Standard says: "The Venezuelan
ultimatum is unlikely to lead to pro
longed or doubtful complications The
convention of 1850 has been repeatedly in
fringed by the Venezuelans in encroach-
ing upon soil indisputably British. These
calling and high-handed acts might have
been overlooked had not the outrage by
the Venezuelan authorities reached
lengths no longer endurable. We shall
be surprised if the responsible diplomats
of the United States persist in maintain.
ing that the Monroe doctrine has any
bearing on the present case"
EThe Daily Telegraph says; at is diff
cult to see how Monroeism is applicable
to the Venezuelan affair. If the Venezu.
clans invade British Guiana they must
either be punished by us directly or they
must be forced by the assumed protectors
in the United States to respect intorna
/ tiOnal laws"
