Killino at a Picnic.

Gilbert Reagan shot and killed Bob Madron at a picnic near Danyille. The circumstances leading up to the killing are as follows: Reagan runs cold drink stand in Danville Ma dron, some three weeks ago. went into Reagan's place and bought 9 cents worth of goods. He asked for change for a $20 pill. Reagan told him he could not change it, and Ma dron then said he couId not pay the p cents. Reagan then charged it to Madron's account A few days later Madron was in the store, and Reagan reminded him of the z5 cents and Madron denied the account and call ed Reagan a liar, saying he did not owe him, but went out and came back presently and paid the 9 cents. Ma dron, from that time on, seemed to have great dislike and hatred to- ward Reagan and manifested it Tn numerous ways The day of the kill ing Reagan took a lemonade stand to the picnic, across the mountains from Danville. Madron was at the picnic and got very drunk and was taken off the picnic grounds at one time. He remarked in the presence of three different ladies that fl he caught that boy away from the stand he intended to fix him. IL made such an impression on them that they went to Reagan and tod him what Madron had said. In the afternoon, late, Madron came to the stand where Req gan was. He asked Reagan if he wanted to hear some music Req gan replied no, he didn't care to hear him play. Madron cursed him, and. it is said. threw his hand to his hip. Reagan then picked up a pistol that was lying under table in the stand and fired at Madron.

RECOVERY IMPOSSIBLE, BUT He
MAY SURVIVE FOR SEW
ERAl DAYS.
MAKE DEATH AGoNIts Lfss ACUIt
ABOUT ALL MEDICAL SKILL CAN
DO FOR THE DISTINGUISHED
PATIENT.

most comfortable day yesterday since
his illness began. He is passing one
of the rallies which are peculiar to the
last stages of cancer. for there is no
longer the slightest doubt that that is
the dread malady from which he is
suffering. The following medical
statement of the case may be accepted
as accurate:
In 1899 a skin tumor on the pope's
right side was extirpated by DR.. MAJ
zoni. Its nature could not be ascer-
tanned because the pope did not wish
it to be examined. but he kept it for
some time and then threw it away.
His present illness was at first dag
nosed as pneumonia. DIR. Rossani.
thought it was pleurisy until the
pleuric fluid was withdrawn.
Then the physicians found that it
presented Ee::l.er clinicaill nor mi
croscoricall: the Characteristic of the
ordinary E.:uid produced hy pleurisy.
1t contained
Malignant or cancerous
neoplasms, which left no doubt that
the tumor of 1899 had been of the
same nature, and that the malady had
returned in a new location.
The second puncture yielded
liquor with such large proportion Of
blood that the physicians were I'LL
willing to operate for the third time
when Thursdays difficulty in breath
ing suggested it, because there was
the greatest danger that another
drainage would produce fatal pleuric
hemorrhage.
Recovery is impossible, but it Is
not unlikely that the pope will sur
vive for several days. Such are the
facts of the situation, which the sonle-
what misleading bulletins of the past
ten days have concealed. Serious
comments on the case are current
among the medical profession here,
which promise interesting conse-
quences. 1t may be said on behalf of
the pope's physicians. whether their
first diagnosis was mistaken or not,
ludI lucll llSdlA1G1lI Ids OScu duG-
quate and skilful. 1t would not have
been radically different if the
True Nature of the Disease
had been known at the outset. More
over, it is good nursing that is chiefly
prolonging the life of his holiness.
Nothing could exceed DR.. Lapponi's
assiduity and skill in this respect 1t
is not improbably that the end may
yet come suddenly by internal hem
orrhage.
II cannot say that the pope is bet
ter, but he is no worse"
In these words DR.. Lapponi last
evening summed up the rontiff's con-
dition at the end of the second week
of his illness. in all the varying peri
DDS of which the pontiff scarcely has
had a Quieter day than yesterday,
with the result that last nights bulle-
tin declares him to be little less de-
pressed.
From last nights examination of the
pope it appears that the liquid in the
pleura remains at about the same
level. AS his holiness is reduced al
most to skeleton. if new operation
is decided on it will not be because of
any hope Of saving the patients life,
but simply for the purpose of render.
ing the death agony less acute.
