ONE MORE GUESS.
Abilene Visitor to Mexico Says Gillett
Will Paw His Debts.

An Abilene cattleman, Just returned
from Mexico, spent three or four days
in Chihuahua and saw both Grant
Gilletl and his wife. His says they
have comfortable rooms in the hotel
Palacio and are well, but would both
be glad to re-occupy their home at
Woodbine. Gillett says that he eN-
poets to return to Kansas only for
the purpose Of attending to some bus
mess matters and Mrs. Gillett will re-
turn to their home at Woodbine with
in a short time.
He says; "Gillett says he has de-
termined to make money enough to
pay all his liabilities, and he believes
he can do it more quickly in Mexico
than he could in the United States.
From my talk with him ] infer that
he is too proud to return to Kansas
for the purpose of making this his
home until he shall'be able to pay his
debts, but when the time comes that
he can do so, nothing would keep him
away from this State.
ale has completed no business ar
rangements but has several PROPOSE
tions pending which may be consum-
mated and which promise 20 be very
profitable, His prospects for making
advantageous business arrangements
are somewhat interfercd with by fake
interviews published in the papers Of
this country and the extravagantly
false misrepresentation in regard TIC
what be is doing and can do at Chi
buahua. The idea that Gillelt has
any arrangement with Governor
Ahumada, or the other officials, which
would protect him against a lega
requistion from this country for any
oiIense he may have committed, il
preposterous.
81 had no business with Governor
Ahumada," he adds, "but his praises
are on the lips Of everybody in tina
country and learned a good deal il
regard to him. He is statesman
and a patriot. The work he is doins
for bis people can hardly be eompre

and the governor gives his persona

Bruner and BroOker Tonight.

All arrangements are completed for
tonight's glove contest between Joe
Bruner, of Cincinnati, and Chic Brook
er, of Newport, Ky. This contest is
well spoken of in all the leading cities
where both of these bantams have box
ed and no doubt they will be eager to
know what the result may be after to-
night. Both men are clever boxers
and have world wide regulations.
Those who attend will see as fine a
bout as any body would want to see.
The preliminaries will be a bag punch
ing exhibition by Chas. Conkle, cham
pion of West Virginia, who will meet
all comers who wish to compete with
him. There will also be two six
round bouts between local men of our
city. The Marietta Athletic Club de-
serves credit for bringing such
strong card as the one which will be
given tonight.

DEATH
Has Claimed One Of Natures Noblest
Men.-Louis Mueller Taken to
His Long Home.

The many friends Of Louis Mueller
in this city were greatly shocked to
fearn of his death at his home in New
port, KY, Saturday evening, which oc-
Cured at 11:45. The shock was the
greater because they had not been pre-
pared to hear of such a sudden and sad
termination of the life of one whom
they all held dear.
The immediate cause of death was
Inflammation of the brain, following
most violent case of grip. The sick
ness was of short duration. as he had
intended to take business trip to
Dayton on last Tuesday, but delayed it
because of not feeling well enough to
go, and on Wednesday was unable to
to grow worse, until on Friday he be-
came unconscious and never rallied
from the attack and died at the hour
above stated.
He was in his 44th year, having
been born in Cincinnati on June Gath,
1855, He came to this city when quite
young. His mother, who died in 1866,
lies in Mound cemetery.
He was one of the best known men
in this vicinity having been one of the
firm of j. Mueller & Son, publishers of
the Marietta Zeitung, and in his busl-
ness associations he came in contact
witt a great many people from the
especially liked by all.
He was elected City Clerk in 1891,
and served in that Office until he left
the city in 1895 to assume the respon-
sibhities of a position with the Annis-
ton Pipe and Foundry Co., of Annis-
ton, Alabama, and with whom. he has
since been connected.
He was considered the best man in
the Office of City Clerk that the city
has known in years and was a great
help to the City Council, as he was in
the Office at time when the city was
taking rapid strides forward and his
was the hand that guided the ship OF
municipal affairs toward success, as he
was asked about all important busi-
ness and his good advice was followed.
He was the best known musician
Marietta ever had. He was always
connected with everything musical
and in it all was always the careful
and efficient performer who delighted
all who heard him. And not only as
performer was he recognized, but as
4 man of great musical knowledge.
1t was eight years yesterday, Mon
day, that he was married to Miss Flora
Bennett in this city. To them were
born four children, two of whom are
dead. The wife and two little girls,
Dorothy and Margaret, survive him.
The remains were brought to this
city last evening and the funeral will
take place from the Unitarian church
at ten O'Clock today, Tuesday. The
pail bearers are ]. S. Goebel, w. II.
Ebinger, H. Fred Curtis, w. r. Grimes,
d. R. Gerken and ]. G. Brenan. Hon
ary pail bearers have been selected
from the newspapers and City Council
as follows: AID. Alderman, B. ]. Nc
Kinney, Geo. NJ. Cooke, e. Frank
Gates, Henry Blume and Douglas
Pfaff.
The Marietta band will attend in a
body and do honor to their deceased
member and contribute music for the
sad occasion.
There will be many friends who will
shed tears of sympathy for the be-
reaved wife and children and sorrow
ing relatives, who today return to
earth all that was earthly of one held
in the dearest bonds OF human love.
