blOodad murders that has been con-
mittaG in tho Territory for some limo,

lped up to him and said something,
waen they both walked away about
two feet from tho crowd. The first

attention was hesring Jones,
say: "You called me d-n
lier?" and at the same moment drew
his pistol ana began firing. The first
bah struck Bouton IN the breast,
making death wound. and the dying
man Tell forward, when Jones fired
agsin, striking him in The back and
going through his body and into the
ground. Another shot broke his right

away. The wife and children OF the
come to the eyes of strong men, with
their cries Of grisf. The hesrtbroken
wife and mother, kissing the
face OF her dead husband,
and staining her dress with
his iife.biuud, ought to have brought
remorse TO any human being, but her
cries only inaddened the murderer the
more, aud he came back, drove her

husband and father, and, turning him
over, added insult to murder by kick
ing him several times in the face. A
friend OF Jones then brought him his
horse, and they started together for
his ranch, but on the way they met the
partner of Mr.. Bouton, and Jones tried
to kill him also, firing several times at
him, and run him all the way back to
Caddo, but he succeeded in escaping.
The crime of Jones seemed to make
him q devil of the worst kind,
and he rode through the streets
shooting off his pistol and driving
everybody into houses, defying pow
der, lead and officers, and finally left
town, aud was last seen 12or IA miles
frem Caddo, near his home.
