this Hfernoon and kilhil himself iu
stiiiitly. Whin the fatal shot was fired by
Miller he was sitting in an arm chair
at a disk back of the miling in the
bank. The center drawer of this was
open, and after he firod the shot the rr
volver fell into the drawer. Several
1 rge splashoH of blood f II upon the

his head was foou snrroun led by a
large pool of blood and brains, which
flnved from the two ehastly holes on
either sida of bis head. Tno weipm
with whioh tho deed was done is a
Colts army r-volver,41 calibre, and the

was afterwnrds found on the outside

other person in the bank, and was com
pleUly prostrated ty the and event,
having to be taken home, Th coroner
was notified and the bank placed -oharge

It h ts been statad that Dank Exam-,
iner Miller had completed his work of
Koing over the bank's books, and had
forwarded bis r port to the comptroller
of tbe treasury at Washington; also
that the bank was in better condition
than at first supposed and that it
would reopen shortly.
The truth is that none of these Btate-rVi'-nta
is known to be correct, but it is
a fact tbat depositors have lieen Ilea))
leg cauaure upon the examiner for not
having out a report, and it is now be
lieved that he was also censored by the
authorities atWasblngtnn.and tbat this
will be fonnd to have been the cause of
tbe suicide.
