MOST UNFORTUNATE AFFAIR
YESTERDAYS TRAGEDY NEAR
SHELDON.
George Morgan, a Fugitive From
the lone School, Killed While
Trying to Escape.

A most unfortunate tragedy was en-
acted at Sheldon, a few miles from
Elk Grove, yesterday, by which a sew
enteen-year-old boy named Joseph
Morgan lost his life at the hands Of
James Kelly. who had no motive for
the deed and says it was accidental.
Morgan and another youth named
Siminoff were escapes from the Preston
School of Industry at lone, Amador
County. H. H. Budd and Major Blair,
officers of the school, had traced the
young fugitives to the vicinity of Shell
don, where they (the officers secured
the services Of Kelly and a farmer
named James Carroll, residents of the
place, to assist in the capture Of the
boys.
When the party set out after the
lads Kelly took a rifle with him. The
boys were discovered, young Morgan
attempted to escape, kellys rifle was
discharged. and the boy was killed.
Soon after the fact was telephoned
to this city Coroner McMullen, Sheriff
Johnson, District Attorney Baker and
Court Stenographer Duden left for Elk
Grove--the former to hold an inquest
on the body, and the Sheriff to take
such action in the premises as his duty
might require.
1t was nearly 1 o'clock this morn
ing when the officers returned from
Elk Grove and from Stenographer
Duden Record Union reporter
learned the particulars of the tragedy,
as brought out at the inquest.
Major Raphael Blair, Commissary at
the school, testified that the boys had
been traced to the vicinity of Sheldon,
and Carroll and Kelly were taken along
to try and find them. Kelly took a
rifle from the officers wagon. The
boys were located in haystack.
Siminoff surrendered, but when Carroll
found Morgan on top of the haystack
the latter ran. Witness ran around
the stack to head him off, and the boy
ran toward Kelly, who was told to
stop him. Kelly, who was about 100
yards from Morgan, fired three shots,
and witness thought it was after the
third shot that Morgan fell.
H. Fl. Budd, Commissary at the
school, said he saw Siminoff and caught
him, and while Blair was assisting in
placing the handouts on him Carroll

the latter ran. Carroll called to Kelly
to stop the runaway. Witness heard
the first shot and saw the dust fly near
the fleeing boy. but did not see the
other shots fired.
Major Blair was recalled and said
he fired one shot from his pistol over
Morgan's head. He thought it was just
after the first shot from Kelly rs rifle.
DR.. Mckee testified to the nature OF
the wound, which passed through the
deceased's left lung.
Lou Siminoff. Morgan's companion.
testified that Blair fired two shots, but
that they were fired In the air, while
Kelly's rifle seemed to be pointed to-
ward the boy. He heard five shots in
all. Budd waved his hand to Kelly not

Main Street in BeIpre Obstructed.

The Belpre correspondent of the
Parkersburg Sentinel says in Friday
evenings paper:
The people of Belpre are very indig-
nant over the action of the Railroad
Co. in building supports for the bridge
in the center of Main, and Walnut
streets. The work was done Dsfore
daylight Thursday morning and was
completed before The people knew
what was going on. Even had they
known the work was not begun until
the last train had gone to Marietta so
that there was no way to stop them by
injunction. These supports have been
made out of heavy timbers in each
street to support the long spans of the
bridge whsre they cross the streets
he bridge does not cross either street
at right angles and the supports are
therefore dlagonally across the street
and it is almost impossible to drive
under the bridge without turning the
nOl oSS' me pSpplt vi llG iOWu are
furious over what they consider an
outrage and some of them go so far as
to declare that if the counts permit the
supports to stay there they should be
blown out with dynamite. The Belpre
township trustees met at one o'clock
this afternoon to take such action as
they can looking to the removal of the
supports. They will probably confer
also with the county commissioners in
regard to the matter.
The county commissioners were in
session at Marietta this morning but
had heard nothing of the matter until
informed by the Sentinel's correspond
ent. They went out into the country
this afternoon and will not be able tc
give the matter consideration until to,
morrow.
