Howard, Jr., the well known writer. Turn

established herself three or four years q
on a ranch ut Crow Creek, seventeen miles
from the town Of Chamberlain, in South

Some five years ago she visited the
Hampton school. where a cousin was
teaching, and having taken her cousins
place for a time, duriag the latter's ill
ness, became greatly interested in Indians.
Soon after she visited some of the agen-
cies, and returned TO New York to make
preparations to settle in Dakota. Her
plan embraced the soCuri& Of land, the
building Of a house, the establishment of
a school and of a mission, and the further
auce Of industrial work among the In

Her preparations included the getting Of
an appointment to run a government
school; the interesting of Calvary church,

religious work, and the mastering of such

THE MCDOWELL MURDER.
Testimony at the Examination Tending tc
Show the Guilt of Hale.

NEWMAN, Jan. lin the Mcdowell
murder case Hale is still thought to be the
guilty man. AT the examination to-day at
the Cottonwood school-house, MERGED
County, the testimony was briefly as fol-
lows: On the evening Of January Sth an I'M
known person approached the house of Mrs.
Middleton at about o'clock and fired a shot
through the west window. instantly killing
Mrs. Perry Mcdowell, daughter of Mrs
Middleton and wife of Perry Mcdowell,
who is employed as the cattle foreman on
the ranch of William Howard, few miles
from the scene of The murder.
As the night was very dark, no
trace OF the murderer could be
found, but early next morning, upon
examination of the premises fresh
tracks were found leading ia northeast
erly direction. The tracks led to the house
of L. +. Hale, who was at once suspected as
the guilty party, as the Hale family aud
Mrs. Perry Mcdowell have been bitter enc
mics Ter some time past. 1t appears that
this enmlty started some three or four years
ago while Mrs Nc Oowell was at work for
Mrs. Hale. The trouble was Of a private
nature and has not so far been revealed. A
warrant was Immediately sworn out for
Hale's arrest, the warrant being executed
by A. a. Blther, Constable of the district
After the arrest Bither asked Hale if
he had any firearms about the place.
Hale said he did not. Bither
and William White then told Hale to getIn
the buggy and 20 with them. The request
Hale obeyed, but asked permission to 90
over to his brothers place to get some one
to stay with his wife, which was granted.
BltheI then deputiZed White to take Hale to
Los Bauos while he went back to Hale's
place, and after dIlgent search found the
rife in a back shed. it being the rife Hale
bad borrowed the morning of the Sth from
Johnnie Edwards on the pretense of killing
coyotes. The caltber of the rifle agreed with
the one used by the murderer. Hale was
lett at the Los BanOs Jail until Saturday,
when he was taken to MERGED and lodged in
the County Jail. The examination was ad-
jourHed till o'clock.
