Death by self in Bloomington minister shocks Decatur
The coroner's jury in Decatur reports Rev. James Miller of Bloomington died by his own act, a pistol shot, as the body was identified by G. Spenzler of Springfield who bought a revolver there. The watch is missing, and insurance details suggest possible theft by others. Miller's friends doubt murder and favor insanity. Memorials note William Waldorf Astor's $50,000 gift to the Children's Aid Society for a school in a crowded district in memory of Mrs. Astor. Other items cover cabinet speculation, Missouri presidential electors, heavy snow in North Dakota, a West Point concert tour, Forsythe inquiry, new consuls, Bennington command, New Jersey vote, mining expert dies, postoffice receipts, and McKinley praising leagues.
