H.P. Miller’s memorial on findagrave.com states he was murdered Dec 31, 1896. I feel perhaps he was the victim in this incident. https://findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=28840894

Hi Virginia – that could very well be him! I am pretty sure as I was reading through these old issues there were additional stories that I just didn’t transcribe and add to the site. I’ll be sure to take a look next time. Thanks!
