Foreigner Killed
iii Cold-Blood

M. X. Holly, recently Of Frederick
town, who had been working in the
Lead Belt but short time, and Arch
Byers, each of whom is apparently
about 35 years old, and both, SO The
Times Id Informed, unmarried, were
placed in jail here Monday, charged
with the cold-blooded murder of Joe
Jurkson in the store of John Dobron-
syk, near Federal shaft No. 7, at 8
o'clock Sunday night. The facts ap-
pear to bear out the charge that 1t
was causeless and brutal murder.
They are as follows:
Holly and Byers went into Dobron-
sky's store, where were gathered about
half dozen foreigners, and all had
glass Of cider. Presently Holly or
Byers called for another glass around,
but were informed by the storekeeper
that there was no more cider, he hav-
ing discovered in the meantime that
the two newcomers were intoxicated
and inclined to be troublesome. But
Holly and Byers seemed to suspect
that the desire was to get rid of them,
and they wanted to know why they
could not pay for some cider. The
man who was murdered, Joe Jurkson,
told them that Dobronsky had no more
cider, that he was busy and that they
should not disturb him. With that
Holly walked up nearer to Jurkson,
and addressing Byers, said: "Pard,
what do you say we shoot him ?" to
which Byers replied: "Yes, shoot
him." With that Holly drew revolv-
er from his breast pocket and shot
Jurkson through the right breast, the
bullet entering just below the coat
lapel. While the shooting took place
Byers stood by with an open pocket
knife in his hand.
After the shooting Holly and Byers
attempted to make their escape, but
were held by the others present until
soldiers arrived on the scene, to whom
they were turned over. An inquest
was held the next day, and the ver-
dict of the coroner's jury was: "De-
ceased came to his death from gun
shot wound, fred by M. X. Holly"
