which should always attend q scene of pub
lie grief. Besides that, it fell to me to
arrange the burial of my old patrone,
which it was difficult the preachers, cof-
fins. hearses, carriages and all the funeral
fixtures being engaged that day, and like
wise also the graveyard. I had to go
without. Moreover, the cowboys were
mostly away at work the roundup, so
only caught eight of my tribe to help
me. We laid our friend on a blanket, then
four of us sripped the corners up to the
horns of our saddles and rode slow the
other boys coming behind until we got to
the place where we had dug the grave.
There was only one man of us all well
educated, and that was Monte, who had
been raised for preacher before he broke
loose to punch cows Monte was shot in
the face, weak and feverish, SO I had to
feed him whisky before he felt proud
enough for his job He read the service

EDWARDS CASE CLOSED.
Coroner Filed Verdict Declaring VIC
tim Suicide.

Coroner Mix filed a formal verdict of SUI
eide at New Haven, Conn, yesterday In
thu case of Charles A. Edwards. who was
found dead in bed with a bullet wound In
ms skull two weeks ago. 1t appears to be
based mainly upon the presence of poison
In Edwards stomach and bladder.
The most important Of the points not
heretofore printed upon authentic informa-
ton and now disclosed by Coroner Mix's
review of the case are these:
That Edwards was feeling Ill on the after
noon of Monday. January g. the last day of
his life. That he was stirring about In the
Hitler house after midnight. That there
was blood. which had fallen inside the open
shirt of the union suit he wore in bed, In
dtcating that he was on his feet after the
shooting That dose Of laudanum had
been taken long enough before death for
the kidneys to have carried off a part of it.
That the front door of the Hitler house was
not bolted on the night of the tragedy.
That Edwards on his last day of life had
expressed q dread OF apoplexy. That emf
nent doctors say Edwards could have shot
himself in the left ear with his right hand.
