Mr. Chas. B. Gillis, eldest son of Judge James L. Gillis, and outee a res Ident of Ridgway. was murdered at the door of his residence, Mt. Pleasant Iowa, on the evening of Feb. 23, 1881. The following account of the deplora ble tragedy we take from the Mt. Pleas ant Journal: short time after eight o'clock last night the citizens of Mount Pleasant were startled at a reort that flew over the city that Charles Gillis had been shot dead in his own house. The re port could hardly be believed that such a deed could have been commit ted iu our quiet city, that an old citi zen was murdered in cold blood, and one that did not have a known enemy. In a very short time hundreds of ex cited citizens had gathered at the resi dence of the murdered man, on West Monroe street, and found the rcjort to be only too true, by finding Mr. Gillis lying dead iu the hallway where he had been shot through the heart a few minutes before by an unknown assas sin. The only particulars we could learn was that Mr. Giliis was setting in the room with his father.Judge Gil lis, the other members of the family being iu another part of the house. A short time after eight o'clock a rap was heard at the front dour. Mr. Gillis stepped into the hull and to the front door and opened it. At the same time the door was opened, his father heard a noise in the hall and the murdered man called for help, and the report of a revolver was heard almost at the same moment. Mr. Gillis stepped into the hall as quickly as possibly and went to the door, but no one was to be seen, but his son lay dead at his feet. The alarm of murder was given and in a few minutes a number of the neigh bors, who had heard the report of the revolver, were soon at the house to learn what had happened, and could hardly realize the fact that their highly respected neighbor hud been murdered. Charles B. Gillis w.s about fifty-five years of age, and has been one of our most highly respected citizens for the past twenty or twenty-five yeurs, and did not haven known enemy iu the city or county us any one knew of. The murder is clouded In a mystery that it is hoped may be brought to light and the perpetrator receive the fullest penalty of the law, Physicians made an examination and found that the ball had entered the left side and passed iu an upward direction, cutting the aorta close to the heart, passing through the right lung and lodged under the right shoulder blade, producing instant death. Coroner Leedham was called and empannelled the following jury: Dr. MeClure, Dr. C. F. Marsh, J. A. Hig gins. The City and County will each offer to day, a reward of $500, making $1000 for the capture of the murderer. At the present writing the jury have not given a verdict. ESTRAY NOTICE.
