KILLS HIM AT HOMECharles Mntkins Mas Found Head id His

O^n House.

The following taken from the Wichita, Kaa., Euyle of Tuesday tells of the tragic death of a former

Greencnstle citizen:

Charles Mntkins was fo’tml ileaii in his home, corner Ktnporia avenue ami (Jilberl street yesterday morning, lie was found lying on the floor dressed in his underclothing, and there were wotuuls on his lieail which lead his frieinis to believe that Mutkins hail h eiiluHirdered. Charles Mi.tkins was well Ynown around town, and was considered a harmless, good-natured m.ui, and he had few. if any. enemies. It was supposed that Malkins was murdered by tramps, as he was known to have had some money, and none was found at the time of the discovery of his death. Malkins was a widowei and lived alone at ihe above described place, and it is supposed that he died Friday night. He liatl been wiirking in Whitlock’s butcher shop, 213 east Douglas and the men in the shop had seen or heard nothing of him since Thursday night. Mr. Whitlock said tin's morning: “I think Charlie was murdered. The boys here know that he had at least $7 or $8 in hi-, pocket w hen lie left tlte shop, and now his money is gone, “i harles was here on Thursday, and about 8 o’clock at night he walked down Topeka avenue with me as far as my home. lie was all right then, and he had a basket on his arm and said he was going over to the roundhouse and pick up some coal from the ground. The basket was found in the house with some coal in it, and he must have gone over to the round-house and picked up his coal and come home all right and went to bed and been mur-

dered in the night.

“Charlie was an inoffensive man, and I never knew nim to drink to excess. There i- certainly something wrong

of the hoys otilr a few days ago that he was 37 years old.” Mr. Whitlock must have been mistaken about the time of Malkins' death, as the neighbors saw him at the house about C o’clock Friday evening. The police are inclined to think that the man died a natural d ath f r the reason that the doors were found locked and no evidence thal any one had been in the house except Matkins.

Before they could use their guns he fired six shots, which brought one of the wouldbe robbers to the ground, perhaps fatally wounding
