Peck, governor of the Igorrote province
OF Benguet. in his report to the Bureau OF
Insular Affairs OF the War department for
the year 1902 says his administration has
been marked by manifest contentment on
the part OF the people and hearty co-opera-

FIRST SHOT PROVES FATAL
Lee Jones of hartley is Shot and
Killed by Charles Mcmillan
of IndianOIa.

INDIANOLA, Neb., May S1.-(Special Tel
egram. )-Last evening about 1850 O'Clock
in front of Haley's saloon, Charles d. Nc.
MILAN. in the presence of several witnesses,
shot Lee Jones of Barley in the left
breast with a revolver. the ball striking
near the heart. After the shooting Jones
ak north on the sidewalk about twenty
five feet, where he fell and died without
having spoken a word.
After the killing Mcmillan went to his
room at the hotel. where he was later
taken into custody by Sheriff Crabtree. He
is now confined in the county Jail at this
place and his preliminary examination is
set for tomorrow before Justice of the
Peace Phillips.
Mcmillan is a harness maker. who has
been working here since about the middle
of April. He had formerly been employed
here at his trade. He is about IS years
old and a single man. Jones was a single
man, % years old, and has been working on
a farm near BARLEY.
Last evening Jones and a companion from
BARLEY came to Indianola to have a good
time. During the evening they met McMil-
Ian in the saloon and were importuned by
him to enter into a poker game with him,
which they good naturally refused to do.
This seemed to have the effect OF angering
Mcmillan, who proposed TO Jones' COM
panion that they fight. While Mcmillan and
Jones were talking Mcmillan walked over
to where Jones was standing and shot him.
While all had been drinking during the
evening, apparently none Of them were
much intoxicated, and at no time was there
anything in the nature OF a quarrel or loud
disturbance. No motive for the crime is
known. Mcmillan had never met Jones or
his before last evening.
