HOLD NECRESS DIED
OF NATURAL CAUSES
OF PAYNE WON
AN, HOWEVER, HELD FOR
AGGRAVATED ASSAULT.
From Mondays Daily

From Mondays Daily
The jury impaneled by Acting Cor
oner w. B. Wilson to examine the cir
cumstances of the death of Mollie
Payne, decided this morning that the
negress died of pneumonia. John
Jones, Jr., and Will Banks, two ne
gro boys who were arrested soon after
the death of the girl, on a charge of
having beaten /her so severely one
week previously as to cause her death,
were thus freed from the homicide
charge, but were arrested on charge
of aggravated assault and their trials
set for Tuesday at l o'clock p. m.
According to testimony introduced
at the coroner's inquest, the Payne
woman and her sister, Mandy Salter,
together with two white men, were
attacked at the Fairgrounds in this
city by Jones and Banks Saturday
night, March 16. The Salter woman
and one of the men escaped without
injury, but the other man and the
Payne woman are said to have been
severely beaten with clubs. The fact
that Mollie Payne died one week after
the attack led to the belief that the
| injuries she received were responsible
for her death.
At the hearing today, however, DR..
j. S. Westerfeld and Dr. l. NJ Nc
Collum both testified that in their
opinion the cause of the woman's
death was pneumonia. The injuries
| she received, they stated, were not Sc
rious enough to result in death.

Michigan, where he was credited with
beating Michigan single-handed. Miller
is at present studying law at Notre Dame.
The date fer the Creighton-St. Louis

Boil City Water
Next Two Weeks,
Says DR.. Council

Caution TO boil all water used for
drinking purposes during the next two
or three weeks on account Of impure
condition caused by the breaking up Of
Ice and snow was issued yesterday by
Health Commissioner Ralph W. Council.
1t Is as follows:
Although the city water at the present
time from bacterial examination shows
up in fine shape, the chemical exsmina-
tion shows an increased amount of free
ammonia, which is likely due to the melt
ing of snow and surface drainage. These
examinations do not necessarily prove
the water Is unsafe; yet, as an ounce of
prevention is better than a pound of
cure, would advise as precautionary
measure. that all city water used for
drinking purposes be boiled for the next
two or three weeks"
