knocked down by Ed Franklin, colored
man, and received injuries from which
he died that night The trouble arose over
20 cents which Phenix claimed Franklin
and another negro named Taylor had
stolen from him in a crap game. They
met on the pavement in front Of the st.
James hotel. Franklin struck PheniX
with his fist somewhere on the face or
head and knocked him down. He fell on
his right side, his head striking the pave
ment first He never regained conscious
ness and never knew what hurt him.
He was taken 10 the county Jail in a
hack, and DR.. Hoicomb county physician

LIEF. The body was taken 10 Undertaken
AxtelrS apartments where a post NOR
tenn examination was held Sunday after
noon by Drs, Guy, Emerson, Jacobus,

OF the skull was found on 1he left side,
just above the ear, and on the right side
the brain was clotted with blood. His
wife was visiting at their old home in
Peoria, Ill, and the body was taken
rhere for burial, leaving on the Santa Fe
