escaped on foot in the darkness; he
ran : niles bsck to ranch. NEXT
morning TO men went on horseback
and overlook and killed him, recov-
ering the team. The owner Of the
team, = farmer who was hunting
buffalo during the winter, was kindly
hanling provisions to TESTERS camp,
who Was engaged at poisoning wolves,
bus were strangers to each other. IL
was reported at the time that saii
Jestsr had murdered = boy in Mis-
souri, with whom he had engaged pas
sage and burned the remains on a fire
where they had cooked, the object
in this case being to secure the team.
l saw the remains lying on the prairie
and the bones after the wolves had
picked them, for they laid beside the
road to the camp, also being q buff
faIo hunter. Now that cas- is so
similar, / think it must be one and
the same and IL you have the right
man the one here was perhaps not
guilty OF any murder in Missouri.
