and his aged wife were shot to death
by an unknown assassin at their home
near Jacksonville, nine miles southwest
of here, sometime during Christmas.
Their bodies were found at 9 o'clock
that night by their son Harry, who was
passing the house and stopped to pay
a Christmas call on his parents. New
was one Of the most prominent and
prosperous farmers in the vicinity in
which he lived. Officers are today
securing the country for the murderer
but as yet he has no been found.
When young New tried to enter his
parents home he found the doors lock-
ed. He forced his way in through the
cellar and IN entering the sitting room
a horrible sight met him. In a chair
near the window lay the form of his
mother, her face entirely blown away.
At her feet was all that remained Of
her husband and a CHASTITY hole in the

murder. At his side lay a double bar

HORSE THIEVES ABROAD.


Two head of horses belonging to a
man named Williams. Il ranchman on
Snake river, and another horse owned
by O.. c. Smith were stolen from d. D.
Doty's barn on the Rawlins-Dixon
stage line last Wednesday night. Mr..
Williams was coming to Rawlins for a
load of freight, and camped at DOty's
Wednesday night. The thieves left
three horses in the place of the ones
they stole from the barn. The same
night a fine saddle belonging to J.. T.
Ryan of Baggs was stolen from L.. N.
Boner's place.
d. R. Castiday received a letter from
Matt Watt, his foreman, Monday stat
ing that two of his horses had beeen
stolen from the stable at the old Cor
lett place at the big bend Of the Muddy
on Thursday night. One of the horses
taken was Mr.. Watts favorite riding
horse. a handsome bay. The thieves
than they were at Doty's. They left
three worn out plugs for the two they
took from him. 1t is believed that two
of the horses they left at Mr.. Castiday's
barn are the team belonging to Mr..
Williams. His horses were not in very
good condition, and the thieves were
no doubt disguised when they discov-
cred the kind of stock that they secur-
ed the first night.
Mr.. Watt said he took the trail Fri
day morning and followed the thieves
fifteen miles in the direction Of the
Powder Springs rendezvous, but the
horse he was riding was too slow for
him to overtake them. The thieves left
an old saddle on the trail a short dis
lance from the Corlett place, which Mr..
Castiday has leased.
Deputy Sheriff Reid went out Friday
to ooh for the thieves. but did not dis
cover any trace of them. He is salts
fed that they belong to the Powder
Springs gang. There were two of them.

came TO an end at noon last Friday. At
6 so p. m. a large representation OF both
sides gathered in the association rooms,
all ready to cat turkey, but some destined
for a disappointment.
Each side formed in single file and
marched up to the hall, where Secretary
Reed declared that the "reds" were the
winners of the contest and invited them
to sit down at the turkey table. The
blues" sat down at table well loaded
with several varieties of crackers and
cheese, according to DR.. Fairbanks, the
staff OF lie, and the best brain food in
existence, and being a blue he was
supposed to know. The "hlucs" were
hungry and for few minutes relshed
the crackers and cheese, with cold spring
water. But a few minutes chcwiug of
that kind was sufficient and there was
longing expressed in their counteuauccs
for something else Doughuuls were
presently brought them and they bright
encd up, and the cake and coffee that fol-
lowed brought forth cheers.
The turkey supper enjoyed by the
reds was one of the Ladies Auxlary's
best spreads and willloug be remembered
by all who partook it.
Secretary Reed performed the duties
Of toastmaster in pleasant manner,
highly complimenting both sides lor the
good work done. In summing up the
contest he gave the following figures:
The "reds" gained 122 points, the
"blues" 101, and total of 81 members
was added to the rolls. Harry NJ. Mel

ond with "a points. F. A. Pierce, Fred

charged as follows: For every entry of
cattle and horses so cents, and so cents
