Denver, April 11.-A quarrel, the Sc
Quel Of which was the death Of Willie
A. Truesdale and the probable fatal
wounding Of Mrs. Minnie Miller, occur
red on the old Horner ranch, IL miles
east of Denver, near the village Of Mag
nolia, at 8 o'clock last night. The quarrel
arose over wages owing to Aokl, the
Japanese cook, known as Joe Frank, who
stabbed the boy to the heart with a
butcher knife, and when pursued by Mrs.
Miller, the boys aunt by marriage, turn
ed on her and literally hacked her head
and face. The murderer escaped, and up
to the hour of going to press has not
been apprehended. It is likely, however.
that he will be.
The only witness to the tragedy who Is
able to tell anything Of the particulars to
the authorities was Mrs. NIiller's little f.
year-old daughter by her first husband.
She lisps out only the most meager SEN
tences, however, and the circumstances Of
the crime can be CLEANED, In most part,
only from others, not actual witnesses Of

and will not be disturbed. But, surely, 1t

attitude try to disturb the order and tran
guilty Of the country and place them
