house, eight miles south Of here. The
parties first set FIRE to his barn, which
stood some fifty yards from the house,

sleeping. The light from the burning
barn awoke them and they rushed out
in their night clothes for the purpose of
letting loose their horses. Moore and

the barn and cut loose all the horses,

of five men who rushed out from behind
the house Moore and Furguson ran
through the shed part Of the barn. and
ran about 100 yards when the assassins
| overpowered Mr. Moore and shot him
down. One shot from Spencer rifle
hit him in the forehead, and he was so
near the muzzle that his face was badly
powder burned. Several other shots
took effect in his bead and neck; four
or five in his body and one in his right
leg. The parties after finding they had
killed Moore, one Of them said, "come
on boys. let's leave here" and fed.
George Furguson was shot in the fore
head, the ball only penetrating to the
skull. He is all right. The barn con-
tanned twenty or thirty tons Of hay.

i,y over the fearful tragedy. The re-
mains Of Moore will be taken to Santa
