There is ample evidence to prove,

MURDER AT lockwood.
Fred Hyle Shoots Charley Murray in

The startling news reached Sheridan
On Tuesday evening, says the Enter

Murray in the formers saloon at Rock

bring him to town. Hyle, who is thor
oughly familiar with the country from
Mexico to the British line, made no at
tempt to escape, and he arrived in Sher-

Wednesday night. An Enterprise re-
ing and ELECTED the following facts in
regard to the tragedy:
Charley Murray. who has got a tie
contract ON the mountains, had been
in my saloon pretty near all day Tues
day. accompanied by a gang OF friends.
He was drinking and was very quarrel-

An important suit involving about
$4,000, was decided in the United
States circuit court this morning by
Judge Riner. The CASE is that Of Sam
uel Barker vs!Robert Smiley, which has
been before the court for several years.
In 1892 Barker contracted to purchase
a herd of 5000 sheep form Smiley and
paid him $4,000 ON account. The con-
tract was made in the summer and the
sheep were to be delivered in THE fall.
Subsequently a verbal agreement was
made reducing the number of sheep to
be delivered to 5000 and changing
some of the details as ITO the payment
of the balance on the sheep and the
manner and place of their delivery.
Smiley also claimed that Barker vio-
lated the terms Of this agreement and
sold his sheep to a Chicago dealer. The
price he received being considerably
lower than the price he was to receive
from Barker established a claim ON his
part against Barker for over $1,000,
and he retained the $4,000 paid on ac-
count of the sheep to partially satisfy
1t. Barker sued to recover this sum.
The court decided in favor of Barker
and gave him a judgment for 5 5000
with interest ait 8 per cent from the
time of the transaction to the present.
