heard several pistol shots and this morning
John Marovec, an old Bohemian. was found
dead in the private lane leading to John
Novotny's farm, south of town, with five
bullet holes in his head. Suicide is sug-
gested.
He had recently visited friends in Butler
county and returned to Schuyler Monday,
rawning a pistol for a dollar in the morn
ing, and redeeming 1t in the evening. He
has no relatives here. but has a son at
school in the old country to whom he sent
funds. Marovec was said to have been a
refugee. No inquest was held, which many
%criticise, as none understand how so many
effective shots could be fired by the mans
own hand.
