Mystery Surrounds
Kearney Mans Death;
!. Corone2s Jury Baffled

Kearney, Neb., June l2. Especial
Teiegram) Mystery still surrounds
the murder Of Franks. Lovitt, who
was killed on the streets Of this
city during a storm Sunday night
The coroner's jury failed to bring
out any new facts concerning the
murder and brought in a verdict
that he came to his death at the
hands of persons unknown to them
The inquest was rather perfunc-
tory and routine. No relatives Of
the dead man were examined. Po-
lice say they have been unable to
find any clues to the dead mans
assailant.
.Lovitt was found lying on the
street with revolver bullet in the
brain. The revolver was found ly-
ing near the scene. The fact that
he had another revolver in his pock-
ct police say gives positive evidence
that he did not take his own life
but had feared an attack and armed
himself for defense.
