defendants in this suit against the said

COWARDLY MURDER.
Riley Scott BrutaIIy AssasSInated by
hobeTt Caviness.

Last Saturday morning at 10 O'Clock
Bob Caviness walked toto Paddock's
store on the La Plata, and stepping up
to Riley Scott, with vile eplthet,
said; You are the man am looking
for" and drawing six-shooter struck
him over the head. Upon Mr.. Scott
attempting to rise Caviness shot him
twice, one ball going through his leg
and one through his abdomen.
Mr.. Scott died from the effects of his
wounds in an hour aud half and be-
fore medical aid could arrive.
Caviness jumped into his wagon,
which was in waiting, and with his
son, Barney, started on race for his
ranch where he took horse and made
for the hills.
Sheriff Brown with posse have
been securing the country for him
since, but has not apprehended him up
to this time.
The circumstances leading up to the
killing are that Mr.. Scott charged Cav.
iness' young son, Barney, about l6
years Of age, with the commission OF
an unspeakable crime. Mr.. Scott's
last words were that the charges he
had made against Barney Caviness
we're true.
Mr.. Scott has been resident Of this
section for a number Of years and is
Il brother.in-lsw Of John Pearson OF
Durango and Geo. W. Spencer of the
Florida mesa. H. was highly respect
ed in the community in which he lived,
and by all who knew him.
The people of La Plata are highly
iucensed at the high handed dee l and
seem determined to bring the murder
er to justice. They've asked the gov
ernor to offer a reward for Cayiness
and we understand are circulating 6
subscription in the La Plata valley
asking private contributions SO that {
reward will be offered sufficienl il
amount to make his capture certain
We are opposed to trying men il
newspapers before the courts are al
lowed to pass on their guilt, bnt il
this matter we are unable to find {
single extenuating circumstance il
Caviness' favor, it seems to have beer
a murder deliberately planned anC
cold.bloodedly and cowardly execut
I'd, and while we council the people Il
moderation and desire to zee the Law
take its course we think every effor
should be made to apprehend the mur
derer.
The people in other parts Of tn
county have signi6ed their willing
hess to contribute to the reward.
1t would indeed be sad state Of af
fairs in this or any other county il mel
conld not condemn the misdeeds o
