RENO, Nov. Am inquest is being
held today over the remains Of the
man who was shot by Officer Brown
in the street tragedy Of yesterday
This morning the two companions
of the dead man were taken to the
different places they visited yesterday
in hopes that they might be able to
identify some one connected with the
holdup One man has been arrested
for implicitly in the affair but the Of
fcers are very reticent in given out
any information to the public for
reasons best known to themselves.
Word from the bedside of the two
injured men this afternoon is to the
effect that the doctors have many hop
es for the recovery Of Policeman
in a comstose condition as a result
| of the shock and if he comes out of
this before many more hours he Will
have an excellent chance to live.
Young Burrus is in a very low con-
dition and is in great agony. The
! doctors hold out few hopes for his
body is paralyzed and his sufferings
from the wound in his spine will
I probably be too much for his system
and death will result.
! Chief of Police Leeper stated this
afternoon that he ad ordered all his
men uniformed in the future and all
of many that if Brown had had a club
yesterday and used it on the man witt
the gun the terrible tragedy would
have been avertted
