Sunday the water was stopped and at
4 o'clock in the evening,he started up to
turn it on. About q miles from the
house he found a large break in the
ditch and the water escaping down the
hill. Here on Monday morning he was
found by his son.in-law, j. Ill. Beebe,
with the right side of his head blown
off. The coroner and sheriff of Gunni-
son county were wired for at once and
arrived at Weston's ranch Mnnlly
night. Tuesday morning the inquc t
was held before w. Z. Rainbow j. r.,
acting coroner, who empanelled q jury.
Quite a number of witnesses were ex-
amined, including the dead mans sun In
law, j. L. Beebe, and some of Thomp-
sons hired men, Sprigg Shackleford,
deputy district attorney for, Gunnison
county, being present on behalf of the
state. The verdict returned by the jury
was as follows:
"We, the jury find that the deceased,
Samuel Hoiroyd, came to his death on
Sunday, July 30, 1899, sometime hetween
the hours of 4 and o'clock p. M, at a
point on what is known as the HOlroyd
ditch about l y miles from the residence
of the deceased, and that his death was
caused BY a rifle shot wound in the right
side of his head, and that the deceased
was killed by John N. Thompson, but
as to whether there was any felonious
intent upon the part of the said j ohm N
Thompson we are unable to determine
from the evidence before us"
The deceased was well liked by those
who knew him, was of peaceble disp0
sition, and in his desire to avoid trouble
he is believed to have made many sacri-
fees. He leaves son, Charles. and a
daughter, Mrs. j. L. l3eebe. The flu
neral took place Wednesday morning
from the residence of his daughter, and
was quite largely attended. Rev. M. b

There has never been political cam

The republican party, backed by the

it will seek by every means in Its power
to maintain its supremacy.
Democrats must be up and doing.
They must wage an unceasing war up-
on their enemies. In no better and
more effective way can this be done
than by the circulation of good, sound
democratic newspapers. The publisher

S0AAAASA AASAAOy0 A4AAAVAV As
We made mention in the Democrat
recently of the death of Samuel Holroyd
near Lake City, Colorado. He was at
one time resident of tn is county and
was sister of Mrs. G. o. Harrison, of
this city. Mr.. G. M. Osgerby, former
resident of Richland township, this
county, now residing at Lake Shore,
Colorado, kindly sends us the following
clipping from the Lake City, Colorado
monograph containing the particulars
On Monday morning our citizens
were shocked, although not greatly
surprised. to learn that Samuel HOlroyd
q ranchman. living IL miles below town
had been found dead in his ditch, the
top of his head blown off by rifle shot.
On account of threats made and his
actions of the past year or two, it was
at once settled in the minds of every
one acquainted with the two men, that
John Thompson, a neighboring ranch
man, had done the shooting, and soon
the first report was changed from "Sam
Holroyd was killed last night" to "Well
Thompson got Holroyd, at last" Later
on it was learned that Thompson had
admitted the shooting, and was in Gun
nison.
The scene of the tragedy is on Elk
creek, about two miles from Youmans
station, in Gunnison county. The
shooting of Sunday night is the Gull
minstion of litigation of three years
standing, involving certain lands in
Elk creek. Up to 1895, John Thomp-
son had worked 100 acres of land upon
which he had proven, and was also en-.
ljoying the production ard possession of
Uncle SANS domains. In June of that
year, Samuel Holroyd pre- empted 1860
acres next to Thompson, making his
filing in the Gunnison land office. Three
months later, Thompson filed on the
same land, making desert entry. From
that time there have been numerous
suits in the courts and land offices, the
most important being one in the Gun
nison land office IN which Thompson
got the decision; Holroyd appealed to
the commissioner of the General Land
Office at Washington, who reversed the
ruling of the local office, and decided in
Holr0yd's favor. Thompson has since
taken an appeal to the Secretary of the
Interior, who has not yet handed down
his ruling. HOlroyd lived on the pro.
perty AID worked the land, but has not
been permitted to enjoy it as Thomp.
son and his men have persisted in cut
ting at least part of his hay and ship
ping 1T, as several replevin suits bear
witness to. Two cars of hay were ship
ped here during July of this year, which
Holroyd claimed was cut on his ground.
Fearing that he would lose this
years crop, Holroyd went to Gunnison
two weeks ago to have Thompson en-
Joined from molesting him with his
crop or his ditch. The ditch referred
to is about 2 miles long and irrigates
the land in dispute from Elk creek, ira,
versing government land until it
reaches Holroyd's ranch. Holroyd
claimed that Thompson has been in the
habit of preventing the irrigation of
the land by turning off the water at the
headgate or breaking the ditch. On
