SCHAIDT, Conrad, Jr. (see follow-up story on Murder & Mayhem)

Mr. Conrad Schaidt, who is alleged to have been struck over the head last week with a shovel by one Jack Carson, while both men were working repairing the Evitts Creek bridge, died yesterday at the Western Maryland Hospital, as a result of the injury.  The body was taken in charge by Funeral Director Satela and removed to the undertaking parlor. This morning Coroner F. B. Beall empanneled the following jury, which will hold an inquest at 7:30 o'clock this evening: Charles S. Ring, foreman; Howard M. Fuller, William C. Korus, George Frey, Joseph Johnson, Frank A. Stein, Valentine Holsinger, W. E. Cunningham, James A. Gaffney, J. A. Birmingham, M. C. Button and William E. Eyler.
The deceased was only twenty-seven years of age and resided with his father, Conrad Schaidt, Sr., near Mapleside.  He was a member of the Independant Order of Odd Fellows and is said to have been a young man of splendid habits. His alleged assailant escaped after the trouble happened and has not yet been apprehended, although the officers have been making a diligent search for him ever since the assault occurred. Four witnesses have been summonded to appear before the jury tonight, when it is presumed the exact cause of the assault which resulted fatally will be made known, but is said to have been the result of a quarrel. It is stated that Mr. Schaidt was to have been married yesterday.  The officers are renewing their efforts to apprehend Carson who it is thought is hiding in the mountains of West Virginia near South Cumberland, since the assault.

SCHAIDT, William H.

Funeral Again Postponed
The remains of the late William H Schaidt, who died in Wyoming, have not yet for some unaccountable delay arrived yet, consequently the funeral has been postponed.  Nothing has been heard from them since they were shipped by Mr George Schaidt from Omaha, Nebraska by the Union Pacific Express company.  Mr Schaidt left Omaha eighteen hours after the remains of his brother and arrived here this morning.  It is supposed that the remains have been delayed at Defiance, Ohio, a terminus of the lines of the Union Pacific Express. They are expected here tonight. The late William H. Schaidt was a miner at Rock Springs, Wyoming, where the recent Chinese troubles occurred.  About four o ’clock this afternoon a telegram was received stating that the remains would be here on the seven o’clock train from Wheeling and the funeral will take place tomorrow, (Wednesday) from the residence of John Schaidt, corner Glenn and Decatur streets at 1:45 o’clock p.m
