Day empanelled a jury as follows: Eli Teuche. Geo.

Stavetz, John Radacv, James Kennedy ami Humpbrav Nt-il. A number of 'witnessts were examined and the verdict of the jury was that Mike Nemicttek came to his death from a olow on the heac by some blunt instrument in the hands of a person unknown to the jury, and George Rovnak and Mike Simczyk were held i the charge of murder.

Mike Owanko, Andy Kostic and John Pop The two men charged with the murder weie taken to Greensburg iai! today to await trial on a charge oi murder.

This trouble occurred at a christening at the home of John Rovnak at No. 1249 Morgan avenue about 9 o'clock Sunday night, and the man died at Ifl o'clock a. m. Tuesday. It seems that some misunderstanding arose among the men in the house, and the fesling continued to grow as they carried the fight out into the yard.

The man was struck and be- coming unconscious the police was notified Chief Wheatley and Assistant Entineer made the round-up Tuesday rooming by arresting the ones implicated where they were working at the different mills. It seems that the man's skull was cracked and a large blood clot forming on the brain caused death. This was shown by tha post morten examination made by Dr. Day. From reports there was a lively time at the christening, and intoxicants were plentiful.

Beer bottles, glasses, were flying thick and fast, and it is supposed that the man was possibly struck on the head by a flying bottle. The dead man was twenty one years of age.
