Little that is new was brought out in
the short session held today by the
coroner's jury inquring into the death
of Mrs. Henry Anderson, mysteriously
shot while in bed beside her husband

examined were the two physicians who

Husband still Irrational.
An attempt was made to examine the
husband of the dead woman. but he
proved so irrational that he could not
tell a connected story and the inquest
was adjourned till 10 o'clock Saturday
morning. In the meantime no further
arrests have been made, though de-
tectives are making thorough investi-
CATION.
Those who talked with Mr.. Ander-
son Saturday state that he was more
talkative than usual that day, but
there was nothing to indicate that he
was not then perfectly sane. His
friends are satisfied that if he fired the
fatal shot it is ample evidence of in
sanity, for the relations of the couple
are generally understood to have been
most harmonious. The most diligent
search has failed to reveal a revolver
about the Anderson premises. and so
far as can be learned nothing to sup
port the husbands story of the pres
ence of unknown parties in the build!

A Regrettable Affair

The citizens of Missouri VAL
ley were shocked yesterday af-
ternoon at about $50 at the re-
port that Editor Sniff had shot
Mort Brundige. The shooting
occurred at the back steps of
the Douglas Cafe, and at the
south steps of tie office of Har-
rison County News. There
were several eye witnesses of
the affray but none heard what
passed between the two men,
but they were pretty close to-
gether when the shot was fired
which laid Brundige low. The
victim was carried to Tamisiea
& Tamisiea's office and was
given the necessary medical at
tention. 1t was found that the
bullet had entered the front of
the neck and passed almost
through to the back. About
1000 o'clock Brundige was
taken to his home on 9Th street,
where he is lying in a critical
condition. AS we go to press
no arrests have been made. It
is thought the trouble grew out
of the stabbirg affair Of last
Saturday evening.
