HAS APPOINTED
SPECIAL GRAND JURY

The body Of w. e. Reed, who was
killed In this city the night OF May
10, will be ~disinterred Immediately
and an examination made OF the re-
mains by experts who will thoroughly
| investigate the death OF the
murdered stockman. This is the
result Of Judge Barnets move when
he called a special Grand a Jury to con
vene in this city, next week, and
Inquire into the mysterious killing of
Mr. Reed.
Dan Riley, the detective from Fur
longes agency,i in st. Louis, who has
been on the case, withdrew from 1t,
Tuesday, saying that the best way to
ferret the criminal out was through
the medium OF Grand Jury as then
every channel would be accessible and
nothing remain in "llmbo".
The mystery surrounding the kill
ing has seemed to grow as the public
have had time to think over the pecu-
liar circumstances surrounding the
killing. Many are the conjectures
concerning the manner in which he
met his death but none have felt that
the proper one has been made yet. II
is hoped that this new move will re
~sultIin the apprehension Of the Grim
inal or criminals.
Sheriff johnson, Prosecuting Attor.
ney Orear and Coroner Coil have done
and are doing all in their power t.
run the murderer down and 1t 4
through their suggestion that thu
Grand Jury will be appointed.
The autopsy over the desinterret
remains will be made by experts AM
the stomach examined by a chemis'
and this testimony will be ready tt

Mr.. Furlong said last night that he
could say nothing about the case now
except that he expects to capture the
murderer.

Everything indicates that Mr.. Reed
had a long and desperate fight with
his murderer. II he had cried out fol
help be would surely have been heard
by MIR. Mohn, who sat reading at

Marvellous As 1t may seem. New

way Of fastening their waists up the

then turned around and the arms
slipped into the sleeves without un.
duly straining the fastenings. So sim.
