MISS MILLER
DIED OF WOUND
Did MOI Regain consciousness After
Blow on Head Which /
Crushed Skull.

limited Press Leased Wiro Service
AURORA, ILL.,, Nov. 20,--Miss Jen-
ME Miller, wealthy Aurora woman,
who was mysteriously attacked in q
church yard Wednesday night, died
early today without regaining con.
seriousness. The police made vain ef-
forts to get statement from her that
would aid them In tracing her assail-
ant.
An operation was performed at mid
night and several bits OF bone that
had been driven down upon Miss
Miller's brain when her skull was
battered in, were lifted In the hope
that she might regain consciousness
Once she stared about the room
but she tried in vain to speak.
When the little spinster breathed
her last just before daylight. she
left the police with only slender
clue in their search for the man who
beat in her skull with heavy pipe
wrench-the description of man
seen lettering near the church yard
and no clue at all to the motive. De-
tectives today considered the posi-.
bility that an insane man may have
killed both Miss Miller and MISS
Thereasa Hollander who was slain In
a similar manner in the Aurora grave
yard several months ago, but at the
same time sought other possible mo.
tives.
The explanation suggested In Au'
rora is that Miss Miller WAS slain to
avenge some fancied grievance
against her father, Holmes Miller,
former mayor Of Aurora and q
wealthy manufacturer at the time OF
his death.

FUNERAL SERVICES
OF EDWIN v. LANG
kahoka Man Who was Killed by Train
In South, was Laid to
Rest Tuesday.

The funeral of Edwin Vollers Lang,
who died near Jupiter, Fla, Tuesday,
November 10, took place in Kahoka,
Tuesday, November II, says the Clark
County Courier. Services were con

and Mrs. Adam Lang, on West Com.
mercial street, at o'clock p. m, by
Rev. w. Bechtold, pastor Of the st.
Paul,s Evangelical church. The inter
ment was in the ST. Paul's GENE
terry, northeast OF Kahoka, the
burial rites being under the aus
pices of the /. o. o. F., of which the
young man was member The pail
bearers were Graydon darkness, Paul
J Thompson, George v. Calvert, Ray
Meyer, Harold Trump and Ralph
Crear. A large number of relatives
and friends were present to pay their
last respects and extend their sympa-
thy to the family.
AS announced last week. Edwin v.
Lang met his death in a railway acct
dent near Jupiter, Fla. The family
of this city, were apprised of his death
by telegram, which arrived Wednes-
day, Nov. II. Carl G. Lang, his broth
er, left at once for West Palm Beach,
arriving there at $40 p. M, Friday.
He easily identified the remains, and
left with them for Kahoka at 4:40
O'Clock the next morning, arriving
here Monday evening, November 16.
While Carl G.. Lang was in Florida
but few hours he learned practically
all there was known concerning the
death Of Edwin. The young man,
while travelling on a south-bound pas
senger train of the Florida East Coast
railway the evening Of Tuesday, Nov.
10, in some manner fell from the
train and was killed. His body was
discovered later in the night by the
crew of north-bound freight, who
moved the body away from the track,
and at the next stop notified the
authorities. A section crew from
Jupiter went for the body, which was
later taken to West Palm Beach. The
belongings, watch, jewelry, money
and baggage OF Edwin were intact and
turned over to Carl. The latter trav-

Beach with the same crew which was
in charge OF the train from which ed.
win fell. A member OF the crew told
Carl that he had talked with Edwin
and that he informed him that he was
bound for the fruit belt. The train in
question is made up Of open cars for
ward and the supposition Is that Edwin
lost his balance while passing from
one coach to another. The train runs
about fifty miles per hour at the scene
of the accident
After taking all testimony, the YER
dict OF the coroner's jury was that
Edwin v. Lang came to his death In
the following manner: Being killed by
a Florida East Coast railway train In
a manner unknown to u.s."
A coincidence is that the wife Of
the foreman Of the jury, w. H. Reeves
OF Jupiter, was formerly Miss Ora
Masters of near Ashton. She identf-
fed the remains of Mr.. Lang, whose
identity was further established by
