Death With a Rock by an
Unknown ASSdildnt

A bloody deed was committed
Thursday night in the half world,
says the Reno Gazette, when Margar-
lite Mirot, a French woman, was
struck over the head with a slung
shot and her skull fractured in sew
eral places. The bones of the skull
were so badly broken that it is next
to impossible TO remove the pressure
from the brain. The act was commit
led about half past ten at nighI. II
was after 1 o'clock Friday morning
before the woman was discovered,
She spoke but a few words and
iapsed into unconseiols1ess and Died
shortly after.
Marguerite Mirot was seer in her ae-
customed place on the Terrace early
Thursday evening. About 10 o'clock
A quarrel was heard in her apartments
by women in the adjoining houses,
out such things are of frequent oe-
gurrence in this section and assistance
5 only given when asked for. About
lalf past ten all was quiet and it was
lot until the early hours of this morn
ng that a woman from an adjoining
% entered the apartments. The
sight was something appalling. On
the bed lay the injured woman, her
head unrecognizable and all about a
pool of blood. The only words she
was heard to utter were: 81 am so
cold" Then she lost consciousness.
A th%ree-pound rock, wrapped in an
old cloth, was found by the bedside
in a pool of blood, telling a tale of
deadly work. The woman lay in bed
with her outer clothes removed.

Speak kindly to the millionaire;
Perhaps he does his best.
Don't try to drive him to despair
With rude, unfeeling jest.
Don't laugh at portraits which dis
play
His face with comic leer.
And when he gives his wealth away
Don't take it with a sneer.
Speak kindly to the millionaire,
He has a right tt live
And feel the sun and breath the air
And keep his coin or give.
You may be rich yourself, you see,
Before your life is through.
Speak kindly, and remember he
Is human, just like you.
