POSTMASTER KIpPEN KILLED.
Old Trouble Over Land in the Neg
Perez Reservation.

Lewiston, Idaho, Jan, BID. A. Kip
pen, postmaster at Kippen, a prominent
citizen of the reservation district, was
killed Friday by Joseph Morangue, coun-
ty surveyor OF Nez Perez county, at the
latter home on the reservation.
MorGngue, accompanied by two men.
came here and surrendered himself into
the custody of Sheriff Barton. When
surrendering himself he made but a brief
statement of the affair and the details of
the tragedy will not be known until the
findings of the coroner's jury are made
public.
From information at hand, however, it
appears that the men had not been on
friendly terms for some time, owing to
unsatisfactory business relations. Mo
rangue owns homestead near the sta
ton house conducted by Kippen, and the
latter had plowed and cultivated the land
with the understanding that he could Sc
cure a lease from the owner. Morangue
subsequently, discovered that if he leased
his homestead he would lose his rights.
and 50 explained the case to Kippen. The
matter resulted in bitter feelings between
the men and was finally temporarily set
tied by Morangue giving his note to Kip
pen fer the amount of labor performed,
with the understanding that if possible
Kippen would be given lease of the land
in future. The matter was in bad condi-
ton three weeks ago, when Morangue
came to Lewiston in attendance on the
session of the county commissioners Mo
rangue completed his labor here and
reached his homestead Friday about IL
o'clock, WIN the tragedy happened.
His brief sta tement of the affair is to
the effect that when he reached his home
Kippcn was there, and the land difficulty
was Immediately the subject of a spirited
discussion. Morangue reported that while
in Lewiston he secured legal advice and
could not lasc his homestead, when Kip
pen assumed Il threatening attitude and
stated that he would compel him to sign
lease. Morangue then drew a revolver
and fired several shots at Kippen. The
latter fell across the threshold of the door
and expired almost instantly.

the party landed. The cowboy was over
bearing and at last his arrogance became
unbearable. and four of the party, talking
the matter over. came to the conclusion
that the best thing for all parties con
rerncd would be to divide the outfit, give
the cowboy his share and let him shift for
himself. The conversation took place n
a tent and the cowboy, eyerhearing the
remarks. walked to shanty half mile
distant, got his six shooter and returned.
The four men were sitting in small tent,
surrounded by baggage. The cowboy
stood in the doorway Of the tent, holding
the flap aside with one hand. his other by
his side He said
II overheard your talk about me and
am here for business.
He then shot twice in rapid succession,
killing Mr. Call and Mr., Lee instantly.
The conclusion put out the light, so that
his next shot was in the dark. The party
at whom il was aimed fell down, and the
cowboy, thinking there was only one left,
went inside and waited considerable time
for him to come ont He at last gave it
up and went away.
