Trindle's employ, had spent the after
said to have drank quantity OF liquor.
They returned to Token Greek at 10
o'clock in the night and stopped at the
store kept by Postmaster Paskarbeit.
Trindle and Miller drove on to Trim
dies barn, a short distance away, and
Scofield, after a quarter of an hour,
followed and called Trindle, who was
assisting Miller to stable the horses,
out into the road, pretending to desire
Miller is said to have heard Scotield
say:
Charlie, you have always been a
friend of mine, haven't you?"
Then came the report of Scofeld's
revolver and Trindle fell in his tracks.
Scofield fed and when Miller reached
Trindle he found his employer dead.
A nstnT l,D - hni
there was no known motive for the
crime, as Scofield, while bearing a
rather hard name, was known to be
very friendly with Trindle and the
three men, when they parted at the
store after their return from Sun Prai-
RE, were laughing and joking. Neither
was drunk, although they had drank
considerable at Sun Prairie. SEQ

mother and ran the old Trindle farm
for her at the edge of the village. He
was quiet, Industrious young man of
80, unmarried.
The village was thrown into the
greatest excitement by the tragedy but,
although practically all of the male
population collected at the postoifice,
no one was bold enough to follow SEQ
field or to ascertain whether or not he
was at his home, near the scene of the
shooting, or hiding in one of the build
ings of the farms. Neither did any Of
them attempt to remove the body from
the road, they seeming to consider
that there was nothing for them to do
but await the coming of the sheriff
and the coroner, who had been notified
at late hour by telephone.
Deputy Sheriff Charles Kanouse left
for Token Creek near midnight and
was followed by Coroner Lynch and
Deputy Sheriff Burmester.
LATER: -Sheriff Kanouse phones
that he now has the murderer lodged
in the county Jail. No resistance was
offered when found at his home.
