Tuesday morning at 7 o'clock Frank
Kelly waa abut by Jamea I. Dorier and
killed. The ahootlng occurred on the
farm of A. E Laroque, near Buttevllle,
the farm being leased by Mr. Doxler.
I immediately after the shooting, Doxler
notified his neighbors of what he had
done, and went to Aurora and gave
himself op to the constable.
A. E. Larcque. testified before the
coroner's jury that Frank Kelly, the
deceased, waa about 23 years old, and
had been working for him about aiz
weeks ; that he (Laroque) had leased a
part of bis farm to Doxler. and reserved
the privilege of passing through the
dooryard to the barn where Doxler was
living. He reserved one stall in hia
barn, where he kept a stallion, which
wa being cared for by Kelly ; that Kelly
had gone to the barn lo do his chores
this morning, which was the last time
he saw him alive.
James I. Doxier testified that Kelly
had interfered with his business and
threatened his life, until it was unbear
able; that Kelly had taken horses out
of his barn, transferred his hogs from
one field to another, chased his boy
around the place with a pitchfork ; and
had done all sorts of devilment; that
Kelly came to his house Monday after
noon and abused his wife while (Doxier)
was out in the field at work; that Kelly
tried tc drive a lot of hogs through his
dooryard, and that his wife and children
interfered, and that Kelly has threatened
his lite on several occasions.-
Tuesday morning, about 7 o'clock.
Dozier said, Kelly etime thromrh his
yard and commenced to abuse him,
calling him vile names. Dozier wanted
to know why he bad interfered with his
hogs and had turned them out of the
field and driven them into his dooryard.
Kelly replied he would do as he d
pleased. Dozier ordered him off the
place; told him he wanted no trouble
with him, but he must keep away and
let his business and family alone. Kelly
replied, with another oath, that he
would do as he pleased, and used terri
bly abusive language.
The two men were about 8 or 10 feet
apart, and Kelly had turned toward the
ban;yrdgate,-when suddenly be turned
around,, took one. or two steps toward
Dozier, and said, with the vilest of oaths :
'I'll do you right up here !" v
Kelly threw his right hand to his
pocket, as if in the act of pulling a gun.
At this moment Dozier fired, hitting
him in tlm center of the brest, killing
liiin Hluiost instantly . "
Onxier claimed he felt sure, his life
was in danger, and that Kelly intended
to do him bodily harm
A large number of witnesses were
sworn, who testified that Kelly had
repeatedly threatened the life of Dozier
and that during the six weeks Kelly had
lived in tho community he had estab
lislied the character of a desperate man
and the jury, after being out a few min.
utes, returned a verdict that D izier did
the shootintr in self-defense.
Air. Dozier resided for a number of
years on Mark's prairie. Mr. Kelly was
not formerly a resident of this oity as
reported.

"Easily," said the angel.
So they went below and skirmished
around, taking in the sights. The
angel lust track of the editor, anil went
around hades ti hunt hirn. He found
him sitting by a furnace fanning him
self and gazing with rapture upon a lot
of people in the fire. There was a sin
on the furnance which said "Delinquent
Subscribers."
"Come," -aid the ungel, "we must be
going."
"You go mi," said Hie tdkvr, 'Tin
