Aud the Case win b. Thoroughly siftsd
BY the Coroner.
The body Of N. 3. Bailey. victim OF
the attack Of Eldora outlaws. lies at the
undertaking rooms OF Coroner Tresise.
Mr. Bailey died shortly after nine O'Clock
in his home at Eldosa last night. Word
telephoned from the camp and evident
ly the word gwen out by the local phy.
sician is that Mr. Bailey died Of pneu
monia. That may be true. Ii is posi-.
BILE that the doctor knows what be is
talking about. and then again be may
not. The body tells the story Of blood
poison. There is the tell tale right hand
swollen to twice tne size Ct the lett hand
and as black as indigo. 1t will require
the verdict of a coroner's jury 10 con-
vince those who have viewed the re
mains that N. B. Bailey did not die Of
the bullet wound Inflicted by last Suu
days mob. OF course, cunning de-
Tense. IN cases where wounded men
hnger for several days after being shot,
is to plead surgical ma practice. An at
tempt will be made, undoubtedly. to
show that Bailey would have lived had
his arm been amputated or other meth
DDS used.
Coroner Trezise, however, feels that
there Is sufficient lack of proof in the
case to demand Of him that an inquest
and an autopsy be held. He will sum.
mon a jury tomorrow and 60 to the bot
tom in his effort for thorough ,nvesti-
CATION. In The meantime, it is probable
the u.horilies will swear out complaints
