details of the affair are very meagr
Information was received by the sher-

der had been committed, but on con-
~sultation with the county commission
ers II was decided that more than like
ly the murder had been committed In
Custer county. and the sheriff did not

positive news was received and then
the sheriff went out. He found a trail
of blood across the prairie. near the
home ranch. and following II up he
discovered in an old chimney place
evidences hat a body had been con-
cealed there at some time.
Another Of the stories is that two
men by the name of Calder, were seen
by a neighbor driving MacRae's sheep.
which have also disappeared. They
were asked where MacRae was and re-
piled hat he was In hiding. while they
took his sheep to the railway for him.
When the inquirer attempted to APP
proach the wagon. in which they were
riding, more closely, he vas warned to
keep away. on this evidence the the
DRY that the bodies of the murdered
men were in the wagon at that time
has been built up. The message states
that the men have been followed from
