Died from His Wounds.

Thomas Ryan, who was stabbed at
Chloride Friday evening of last
week. died from the effect of his
wounds Saturday evening. On his
death bed he exonerated the man who
stabbed him from all blame, stating
that he had committed an unprovoked
assault on the man aud that the stab
bing was the result. Tuesday Alex.
Mckenzie, who confessed to having
done the stabbing, had preliminary
hearing before Justice Brakeman and
was discharged. The account of the
stabbing as related to us, would not
bear out the theory that Mr.. McKen-
zie was altogether justified in taking
the life of a human being; that at the
time of the stabbing he was in no i'm
mediate danger From the statement
at hand we CLEAN that Ryan went into
the saloon of J. C. Wilson, on that ia
tai night, and assaulted Mckenzie.
The barkeeper proceeded to eject Ry-
an from the place aud while he was
held Mckenzie stabbed him in several
places in the abdomen, but at the time
no one gave the matter thought as it
was not supposed he was hurt. The
doctor stated at the coroner'S inquest
that the knife had been driven into the
body with such force that one rib had
been almost severed and that the knife
had been turned in the wound.
The taking of human life is serious
matter and the time is at hand when a
stop must be put to indiscriminate
killings. In the case of the killing of
Ryan the grand jury ought to look
carefully into the matter and if the
crime was not committed in necessary
defense of his life Mckenzie ought to
be severely dealt with.
