own yard to play with it: When first ex-
amined he said he left this bottle in the
clubhouse a minute before the child was
taken sick. Yesterday he said it was an
hour. He told how there was not much
more liquid in the bottle than there was
when it was given to him yesterday. and
he had to slant the bottle until the small
amount of it's contents could gather and
be seen. yet there was carbolic acid spilled
over the floor of the clubhouse, on the
childs face, on its bib and more bespat-

must have been at least a teaspoonful

for that reason the prosecution argues

case and the child was killed by the acid
its mother bought the night before.

Accident.
S0BBED AT THE INQUEST
FAMILYS SYMPATHY FOR THE
LUCKLESS YOUTH.
Funeral Will Take Place To-Day at
2 O'Clock and the Remains Be
Laid to Rest in the Ma
sonic Cemetery.

The Coroner's inquest held over the re-
mains of poor little Kitty Wannenmacher
showed that the child had come to her
death from wound accidentally inflicted
by a rife in the hands of Joseph Muller.
and the verdict of the Coroner's jury was
we hereby exonerate the said Joseph
Muller from all blame"
The inquest was held yesterday after
noon at the desolate Wannenmacher
home 400 Frederick street. The solemn
little band of witnesses assembled in the
dining-room of the house. and in fearful
accents told the details of the merry jest
that resulted so unhappily for all.
Mrs. Wannenmacher was the first wit
ness called. The broken-hearted mother
explained how Muller had in mock fierce
ness raised the rife that was standing in
the corner of the kitchen. where they
were all assembled, and pointed it at
Ethel Kempster, the friend and COM
panion of the dead girl Ethel was
afraid and ran to hide behind Kitty" said
Mrs. Wannenmacher Il tried to quiet
her fears and turned to Joseph Muller and
told him that the gun was not loaded. AT
my words he fired and Kitty fell.
Reuben Wannenmacher, the nlne-year-
old brother of Kitty, and Ethel Kempster
her friend, practically told the same
story of the killing as did the unhappy
mother.
Joseph Muller was the last witness to
be examined and when he told the sad
part he played in the tragedy his voice
was tear-choked. and he was so pros
trated that 1t was found necessary to sup
port him while he gave his testimony.
Although the family of the dead girl are
Frustrated by grief in the midst of their
unhappiness, they unselfshly condole with
the unfortunate young Muller.
The funeral of Kitty Wannenmacher
will take place to-day from the residence
of her parents. 400 Frederick street, and
the remains will he laid rest in the
Masonic Cemetery
Muller was instructed and arraigned in
Judge Mogans court yesterday morning.
He had no attorney, and the Judge con-
tinued the case till March 81 so that
meantime he can get an attorney to look
after his interests.

sition of Game Warden, eX-Justice of the
Peace Kirkpatrick and A. L. Sage, chair
man of Rea's county central committee,
were the most prominent candidates.
A great hue arose over the prospective
appointment of Mackenzie, and Rea's
lieutenant withdrew and got the place
for his friend Morrison. Sage remained
in the fight. and now is mad because the
gang threw him down"
When the matter was taken up by the
Board of Supervisors four petitions ask
