petition Sunday night. At the close Of
the entertainment he and his suite
took their departure. Amid the cheers
of his loyal subjects Humbert entered
his carriage and was just seating him
self with his aide-de-camp when the
plaudits Of the crowd were interrupt
ed by three pistol shots, fred in rapid
succession. One bullet pierced the
heart Of his majesty, who fell back in
the carriage and expired in few min
utes, without uttering a word. The
assassin made a desperate effort to es-
cape in the confusion that followed,
but he was arrested by the police.
When the crowd learned the fearful
work OF his bullet it was furious, and
the murderer was with great difficulty
saved from 8 violent death at their
hands. The assassin gave the name Of
Angelo Bressi and said he came from
PratO, in Tuscany. He refused to
make a statement or give any reason
for his crime, but it is supposed he
is one Of the band Of anarchists who
are pledged TO the assassination Of
European monarchs, and to which the

FOUND DEAD III his GHBR
Guy Bumgardner Lay Dead Five
Days Before Discovered.
Young Man Was Living Alone on 3 Etaacl
Near GOOdland-BOdy In Horrible
State OF Decomposftion-Cor-
Onsr Holds an Inquest

Guy Bumgardner, who has been Iiz-
ing on q farm seven miles southeast Of
GoOdland, was found dead Wednss6ay
afternoon at one o'clock By 3 neigh
boring farmer named Charles Ger5es.
The tragic news was at once brought
to the authorities in GoOdland, where
upon the coroner was summoned, and
q small party Of men were soon On
their way to the scene.
From the crowd which had gathered
about the house Of Mr.. Bumgardner,
jury was impanelled, but as the odor
which filed the house and issued from
the door was too offensive to be borne
by the jurymen, Dr.. FarrOW clone en-
tered the room and made a careful ex-
animation Of the corpse; giving IS his
opinion that Guy Bumgardner died
from an apoplectic stroke. The jury,
securing no evidence conhictiEe with
the opinion Of the doctor, had no alter
native and therefore gave their verdict
in accordance Herewith.
Meanwhile, @. r. Bumgardner, father
Of the deceased, who is living on the
John Bray ranch, IL miles northeast OF
Goodland, was sent for, he being the
only near member Of the family. Mr..
Bumgardner arrived later in the after
noon, but the body was IN so bad con-
dition that it was not seen by the
father.
Undertaken Bower incased the body
in a casket and burial took place at
midnight in the GoOdland cemetery.
The young man was living alone, and
as the calls Of neighbOrs- are few, owing
to the distance which separates them,
and especially to the harvest work at
this time, no one was at the Bum
gardner house since last Friday even
ing until one o'clock Wednesday, when
Charles Gerdes rode up to the house TO
see Mr.. Bumgardner. He raped on
the door but no one came. Thinking
that the occupant might be taking
nap, he pushed In the door only to find
that his neighbor was asleep-h death
be called that.
The body was left unmoved until the
arrival Of the coroner.
The sight was ghostly one. Imme-
diately back from the only door which
opens into the sod house, and in an OBJ
Hque position, lay the dead body Of
Guy Bumgardner fat on its face with
arms clasped underneath. The body
was dressed and hence the state Of de-
composition was visible principally on
the head and face. The corpse was
greatly bIoated, the magots had shorn
the head of one ear; the face, Of the
nose, and had eaten deeply into the
lips-tO all this was added the ghast-
illness Of the face which had turned to
blue-bIack, while the accompanying
odor was nauseating.
The high state of putrefaction was
evidence that Mr.. BUmgardner must
have been dead for four or five days,
but Just how and when death came TO
him must ever be assigned to that cat
alogue Of the mysterious and unknown.
The deceased was . years Of age, and
beside his father, has two brothers, one
Of whom is employed on the Omaha
Bee; the other is living IN Texas.
Funeral services were held at the
Christian church yesterday at ten
o'clock a. m, Rev. Stevens, officiating.
