Willie Barnhart, f5-year-old boy. who
lives with his parents few rods from the
Gloystein house, says that ono sunday
night be heard sounds WHICH he thinks
were uttered by Gloystein while being
murdered. Sunday night the boy suffered
from bad cold and couldn't sleep and
while tossing on his bed be heard wagon
on the road and then some one called out;
"6loysteinl Gloysteinf
There was no answer, and then he heard
q door siam little later he heard
smothsred cry as IL some oneowas In dis
tress. lie listened attentiyeiy, but the cry
was not repeated. lie told his story to the
sheriff. and a search of the field adjoining
the house was begun.
EVIDENCES or MURDER.
About two hundred yards from Gloy-
stems house the bloody hat was found.
recognized by everyb body as belonging to
Gloystein. 1t was an old white straw, and
ii showed the dents OF three distinct blows
indicating that the first blow was evident
ly dealt from behind with ala iron instru-
ment, probably the back OF an axe. for the
axe was crushed into the skull and there
remain traces of blood. bits of fiesh. and q
little bunch OF hair. The next blow evil
IDENTITY hit the victim. on the top OF the
head. and the third one over the right ear.
The theory Is that tho murderer or mur-
derers snticed Gloystsin as far away as
possible, and when he became suspicious
he was promptly knocked inCthe head. liz
is supposed mat as the weapon crushed
irtc his skull Gloystein uttered the sfttled
cry of pain and fear which reached the ears
Of Willie Barnhart. 70 O
But what the assassins could have done
with the body Of their victim remains
mystery. Perhaps the body was carried
away in a wagon; maybe 10 was cut up
and burned; probably IL was hauled to
one of the adjacent lakes twelve or fifteen
miles distant. and sunk with rocks; per-
haps IL is planted in some piowed field,
where the naturally uneven surface of the
soil would not attract suspicion; itis even
limited that the body may be concealed in
the cellar OF some anarchist rahcher who
favors the humiliation of Republicans.
The roads In this vicinity are travelled a
great deal. and IL would be impossible to
trace a vehicle any distance. After a sys-
tematic search for five dayssthe sheriff has
been unable TO discover ANY spot within n
radius Of ten miles where any wagon left
the road and went into the brush. All
trace OF the missing man Is completely
lost For the purpose OF exciting interest
in the search the commissioners OF this
county have offered $500 reward for the
body OF the man and 81. 600 reward for the
apprehension Of the murderers, while the
governor has been petitloned TO offer an
additional reward OF $1,000 on behalf of
tho state.
The sheriff Is undecided what TO do and
no arrests have yet been made. Rubeck.
while suspected. has conducted himself
with remarkable GOODNESS and has aided
the searchers every day until todays when
he went 60 Spokane To- attend the Populisss
county convention. Rubeck does not be.
iieve Gloystein is dead and says that he
will turn up in time. The sheriff and
posse. aided by farmers. are now securing
the woods east ofcMiea. Q
