Appleberry and the trigger pulled.
The bullet penetrated the heart
causing instant death.
There are other stories circulate
ing at Herington concerning the
tragedy. County Attorney Bischoff
and Sheriff Hassler went down this
morning to conduct an investigation.
At $3.50 this afternoon the coroner's
inquest was being held and 1t has
not yet been determined as to the
nature of the boys death.
Appleberry was the son of la

story goes. Some startling evidence

Chicago, June 1O.-The Republi

Signs Of ParatyphoId.

Paratyphoid has recently come to
the front as a disease. Among the al
lied troops in France there have been
more than 1900 cases, with case
mortality OF 1.5 per cent, The Lon.
don Lancet says 1t is not always pos
sible to distinguish 1t from typhoid,
but in general 1t is a milder disease
with shorter duration and often ap-
pears as a sudden onset with SILVER
ing, abdominal pain and aching limbs.
without abdominal distension and
when there is an eruption this is of
large and palpable spots. Abnormally
slow heart action is characteristic.
The mosquito is suspected as the
means Of transmission from patient to
patient, but this is still in doubt.
