Was Killed in St. Louis and His Body Will Be Brought to this City This Morning.
The remains of Eugene A. Houghton, who was found dead on the sidewalk in front of Hanlon's saloon, on Chstnut street, in St. Louis. Thursday morning,
will arrive in Kansas Citj this morning in accordance with the request of his widow, who resides at 1711 Forest avenue, this city. Houghton was bill clerk for the Eli Walker Dry Goods Company, by which he had been employed since last May. Thursday morning he was at Hanlon's saloon in company with his desk mate, J. R. Molker. The colored porter, Hallon, had ordeied Houghton out of the place several times. Hanlon, the saloon keeper, claims he saw Houghton and the porter staiidlng on the sidewalk. Mokler came out and pushed the men apart. He shoved Houghton so forcibly that he fell and
struck his head on the walk. Mokler says he knew nothing of Houghton's death until he came out of the saloon and found the body lying on the ground. He testified at the inquest Thursdav that he did not push Houghton. He believes the porter must have knocked him down, as the porter was the only one with whom he had trouble. Hanlon's story is corroborated by two colored musicians and a porter, Robert Townsend. The deceased was 32 years old. He went to St. Louis from Omaha seven months ago. He lived at the Merchants' hotel, Twelfth and Olive streets. His widow was shocked by tho telegram Thursday announcing his death. The funeral will be held afternoon from Stine's undertaking establishment.6

Houghton. When Dr. Houghton was but two years of age, his parents removed to St. Albans, Vermont, and when eight years old, the family removed to Sacramento, California, and after a residence of one year on the Pacific Coast, returned and located at Council Bluffs. Dr. Houghton was educated in the public schools of this city, graduating the high school in the class of 1879. Deciding to pursue the medical profession, he entered the office of Dr. McCrae, of Council Bluffs, where he continued for a time, but in 1880 he entered the College of Physicians and Surgeions, in New York City, taking a three years' course, graduating in May 1883.
