This Is on the right arm. and Is near -

EKERS0N.
She is ,hat lust over the lett ear; e'iden.ly the
pistol was held very close, aS her sun bonnet
was hnrpel hv the powder. The bonnet IS
small Snn ho,inet Of checkered stuG, small

Since SATURDAYS issr., We went to Wallulaon
purpn>t 10 discover al the eyid-n;e We clu.d;
:, lar nur theory is correct and SubStantiated
hV more facts thaa W. expected Our theory
was that the man recently found murdered IA
the Tonchrt and the poor woman above de
scrihe,i, were man and wife We now think
/ that the woman who went off on the boat ut
7 WallnIa ON Monday. March 18th, with the
man who entered hiS aanre As Fox, Is the wife
! af.tie man found Ia the Tvuchet, and that the
| woman more recently discovered dead Wls
! either the wife of the man or : poor unfoTtu-
: nate he travelled with At any rate they
7 acteI ,-ry ,supicio;.sly When they camied at
th. Biz lake on III. night ot the murder.
, They Lift where :heTe Vas a house aslt went
I az y-h4r4 there was neither wood nor water.
} When spoLen To the man turned his back to
! his interl0cnter and talked away from HIM;
| and when faced would east his eyes down ana
! look I his feet That night trey c;ml'ed az
f, thu BIZ, Lake and It j. supposed that the poor
I yof,n. woriIn who l. described by thoSs who
| saw and spoke 10 her A. being very lady like
VA, ben. linz over the fire cooking; that she
| was shot fruu behind, a. the pistol bail went
through her srln bonnet The two red hanGed
murdrrzrs .hen -retracrd their steps ani told
! that the young woman stayed behind Win
! some friends at Colfax, and sold Their outht
for 500 to Mr.. BasSet, who brought them :"
this city. Here the man, who Is young box
iny, with li,nt hair, had his myistache dyed
he proceeded tnWallula under the cIre'inis tan
crs mentioned in SATURDAYS daily. and had his
lon. ha:r OF crIr!s cut on.
! II should he mentioned that Is an0ther-cor-
. r,1hnraton Of our hypothesis that the iouchet
I murder and this are connected lies in the tact
that the hair 0f the woman : heaa-xas cut on
.s chain of similarity this Is perfect, both
! bodies were found under similar cirruInrtances,
both sho. from behind with = pistol, both
striped naked, both had their hair cut, and N
one case the-ciothing burned and the other 4
VET remains undiscovered There i no earthly
doub. in our mind but that the couple who
left WalIu,a are the guilty parties: the woman
: told down there that she was not marrie1 y
the man whom she said was a gambler S.e
also was seen, with a mouth organ on the dai
the three were las. seen together and was play
ing Home, Sweet Home, when the mar
turne,, b. her and told her To .'shut up FOR h'
had quite enough of it II looks TO Us that any
! smart detective could trace mp this clue, anl
run the partie. down in a very short time ou
citizens are greatly excited, AMI We have NJ
doub, br,: that they would gladly incrrAse % tn
reward u one thousand dollass 10 bring Id
guilty ones 70 the callows- The crime ha
stirred their feelings 10 their lowest 6epth
from the fact tbs. it Is the most heArtiess, as
Eber.te. cruel. cowardly and enid hloode'
! murder ever perpetratei IN this upper country
