SILVERTON, July 5.-A short time
after midnight Monday night miner
named Ed Mesch was found dead on
Thirteenth street east of the First
National bank. AS the man had been
drinking and his head showed the eff.
fects of first having been beaten by
a six-shooter the supposition is that
the gun went off accidentally while
engaged in drunken row, but this is
only superstition the only clue being
that some one was seen running east
from the place with gun in his hand
about the time the killing is supposed
10 have taken place. Very little is
known of the man. He nad worked
20 days at the Gold King mine, com
ing, as believed, from Pennington.
