dertaking rooms. 1t was held under the

which Faulks was a member. aud the
local lodge attended in a body. DR..

mains at Turnbull's parlors, after which
the body was escorted to the burial place

The body was let down in the open
grave but it was not covered over. 1t
was subsequently removed to the county
hospital, where the postmortem was con
tinued 10 the hope of finding the missing
ball. 1t will be remembered hat the ball
which entered the head was recovered,
but the one which entered the body be-
tween the seventh and eighth rib was not
1t was this ball that the doctors sought.
Faulks' brother reached here from Salt
Lake after the funeral aud went soon al
terward to the county hospital to take his
last view of the remains. 1t is his inten-
ton to take the remains to Salt Lake for
final interment.
1t was learned yesterday that Mrs.
Hopkins, upon whose ranch worked
Sparks. whose movements at Laramie
were being so closely watched by the po-
lice, had for some time intended to leave
Granite canyon and 90 to work at the
Keystone mine near Laramie. He left
Granite with this object in view and Mrs.
Hopkins is positive that he knows moth
ing whatever about the murder.
As was believed from the first File
brown went southwark on his fight.
Sheriff Kelley. who was in Denver on his
way back from Joliet, telegraphed that it
was positively known just about where
Fillebrown was, which is someN here in
the vicinity of Fort Collins. and it seems
altogether probable that the young man
will be captured perhaps today.
j. D. Fillebrowu, father of the boy now
charged with the crime, wAs in town yes
terday. Mr.. Fillebrown lives with his
vile and son on a ranch at the foot of
Table Mountain owned by Fisher 4 Chad
wick OF which firm he is a member. He
came TO town to meet his young daughter
who has been attending school at Wolfe
hall in Denver. She returned from that
place yesterday. Mr., F.liebrown is a man
Of fine education and is highly respected
BY everyone who knows him. He is pros
trated with grief over the murder. Speak
ing Of his sou he says he was not of a
quarrelsome disposition and was more
tlmid than daring. If the murder was
committed by him. knowing the boy's dis
position. he believes it must have been
in self defense. He doesn't believe that
Sparks had nYthing to do with the muir
der as be learned at Granite hat Sparks
did not take tie train to Laramie for
about two hours after the dead body of
Faulks was discovered. Mrs. Fillebrown
had objected to her son staying at the
pump house with Faulks as she believed
that the %latters' influence on the young
man was not for good. Young File
brown, however, always took the part of
Faulks, whom he said was much better
than he was painted. From this it was
evident that the men were good friends,
A man who came down from Granite
Canyon said the new pumpman had a
rather queer experience Sunday night.
He did not relish the idea OF staying
alone all night in the pump house and 80 in
company with a boy named Roberts start
ed out for the house in which the father
and mother of the latter live. He closed Sc
curely the pump-house doors behind them
and took with them a large dog owned by
Faulks. This dog was left. in the yard of
the residence, while the pumD engineer
stayed in the house all night. About s
O'Clock the next morning, when he re-
turned to the pump house he found the
dog inside, with the pump house doors
closed as he had left them. He cannot
explain the mystery, except on the theory
that some one visited the pump house in
the night during his absence.
