The finding of the bodies of Joe Mil
 Ter and Hattie Morgan, about seven
 miles west of Ash Springs, in Graham
 county, Jan. 10th, caused much ox-
 citement at Solomonyille, where the in-
 quest was held and the bodies buried.
 The Graham county Bulletin gives B detailed account of all that is known of .he reyolting crime, and there seems no doubt but that robbery was the m. csntive to the murder. Charles A.
 Bailey, of Los Angeles, Cel, diseoy- cred the bodies about ? o'clock on Sun day afternoon, and, without examining the bodies, he rode post haste to Solo monvillo,snd informed the authorities.

An examina- tion of the bodies disclosed two bullet holes on the woman; one entered the back and came out on the left side be- low the heart, the other entarsd the right side of ihe face near the jaw and emerged from the head on the opposite side. The man had been shot three times--once on the left side of the face, passing through the head, again on the left side in the region of the heart, and third in the right side near the hIp.
