Shorty Anderson were uncovered. All
that remained of the body was the
body proper and the head; the arms
and legs having beeo entirely burned
up. The head wa. better preserved
than any other part of the rem aims add
this was probably due to the
fact that the head of his bed
was right against a thin partition which
cut his room off from the store and
against this partition in the store was
stacked sacks of flour and corn and this
had all fallen over on Anderson's face
and had entirely covered it to the
chest. When the remains were ex-
posed to view wat was Sprlnkled over
them and the black, charred debris was
washed off the skull, then 1t was pla
to be seen that the skull ha1 cracked
aud that the crack extended from over
the left eye, going clear around on the
right side to the back of the head.
The skull so showed two large holes
right at the top and an ther mark.

made by some blunt instrument.

then teephoned into town for DR.. Villas.
In the meantime word had been sent
to town for some of the firemen to come
out and Chief Connors with several
other fremen soon arrived and then
the remains were taken out of the burn
ed debris.
There is no clue as to who committed
the foul crime of murder and arson and
this morning no suspicion rested Oh any
one. Mr.. RhOtau was in town
when the fire occurred and when
he arrived at the place the
roof of the building had fallen in.
Another bed and AndersOn's trunk and
were found in the back part of the
buii ding and extricated from the ruins,
they were all badly burned, but still
recognizable. Mr.. RhOGan also found
ounch of keys on tie outside near
the back door, and the back door is
said to have b. en- found open by parties
no first reached the burning building.
A Ratchet was found lying near the
red on which Shorty slept. Ira ks
were also followed across the ground
leading from the back d. or towards
the northwest and from the long
strides and the heavy foot prints left
in the earth it wa, apparent that the
party who made the tracks was rum
ming, but farther than these signs
there was nothing to throw any light
on the mystery. The Ratchet found
near the bed was recognized by Mr.
Rhotan IS belong ing to The store.
The building and the goods belonged
to. Mr.. w. E. Rhotan, who had Shorty
Anderson employed to take charge of
and run the place as road house. 1t
was opened up nearly three weeks ago
and had been doing very fair business,
especially on Sundays, when a Der
of people who went out the Hsleta road
would stop there and get refresh
meutS. Mr.. Rhotan was out there
last night and counted up the
cash and brought the money to
town, so that if robbery was the motive
of the murder very little money was
secured. Mr.. Rhotan said his los in
money value would amount to be-
tween 81 900 and 81, 700 with no insur-
anCe.
Shorty Anderson has resided in and
around Ell Paso for a number of years.
He has been employed in different oc-
equations. For while he drove an

the fact that if several sacks OF flour
had not fallen on Shorty Anderson s
head, that bis skull would have been
burned so badly that it would have
been impossible to tell that he bad

around Anderson's head in such way
that the skull was Id intact and

ed with the murder. At about $50 the
party kicked Cooper out of the house
and said they didn't want him th-re.
Instead of going away Cooper went
around at the back door of the house
and sat down. After awhile the must
clans left and what became of the
other American Cooper did not
know. Along near day light
Cooper heard the MeXicans
talking about killing Anderson. but he
was stupidity drunk ard did not then
realize that crime was about to be
committed. One of the MeXicans sug
gesred that they shoot Anderson, but
the others objected saying shot would
make too much noise and suggesred
with a Matched, which they did.
The crime was committed
near the door in the petition and af er
Shorty was killed they carried the
body into Anderson's bed room and
threw it on the bed and then set fire to
the house and left.
Cooper was so drunk when
he made the statement that his sem
fences were unconnected and be was un-
mitted but says he could Sc
them strike Anderson with the
Ratchet from the place he
was setting in the back door. After
the murder Cooper started for the city
and arrived here very drunk and in
this condition he was met by Pat Dunn
who pumped him enough to get an idea
that he knew something about the ID ur-
der and put the police onto him and
through Mr.. Dunn the murder was
found out.
All the parties to the murder live at
Concnrdia and werearrested there about
2 o'clock and brought to town. They
were all very drunk when arrested and
said they did not know a murder had
been committed.
Cooper is half breed and is now ~
ing in q drunken stupor at the city ia J.,
when he sobers up he may be able TO
throw even more light on the murder.
The officers and Pat Dunn deserve
credit for the prompt way in which
they ferretted out what at first seemed
to be a very mysterious murder.

A CLUE.
This afternoon the officers think they

derers of Shorty Anderson and one
man has been placed under confine-

for two other parties. The man con-
fined is said to have told the officer
that he knew who did the deed and l.
said to have named two parties who
the officers are after at this writing.
