Fearing that the men had had some
thing to do with Browns disappear
ance the officers placed them In jail.
The posse found evidences OF . muir
der at the ranch house and In the
gulch they found the body.
Sunday night Bunten confessed to
the crime, and yesterday Hollibaugh
broke down and also admitted his
guilt. The story Of the crime, a. told
by the two men, would cast in the
shade some Of the leading dime novels
of the day. Young Bunten's story OF
the murder IL about as follows:
1--WE decided to kill Brown away
back In October. and began to lay our
plans accordingly. We had q rife, a
1910, which we hid in the stable Tor
the purpose. Brown came to the ranch
late on Tuesday. the 22nd of January,
and went into the house to get ready
for bed. He took of his clothes and
sat down on the edge Of the bunk with
his back TO the window, talking with
HollIbaugh and looking through a ma
chinery catalogue with him. l fired a
shot through the window and Holli-
baugh fired another from the inside OF
the house. Hollibaugh ran out Of the
house and Joined me and together we
went to the woods and stayed there
three hours. AS we left the house we
heard Brown halo, oh. boys
"When we returned to the house we
found that Brown had blown out the
light after he was shot, as we found
bloodstaIns on the table and lamp,
He had then lain down on the bed
with his rifle alongside. Hollibaugh
told me to go to the stable and hitcl,
up horse, which did. Returning to

SUFFERERS CARED FOR
AT BIRMINGHAM

Birmingham, Ala, March E.-Cndef
the harmonious working Of the state
militia and the local police force, much
order has come out of yesterday's
chaos, following the fatal storm which
swept portions of this city. A careful
revision Of the death list places the
total number Of dead In Birmingham
md vicinity at II.
Thirty-five persons were more or less
seriously hurt, but their number is
being augmented by the addition Of
many names Of persons slightly bruised
In their marvellous escape from death.
Yesterdays beautiful weather was an
incentive to active effort, and the
storm-stricken district presented q
busy scene. Everywhere furniture and
household effects were being carried
OF, roofs patched and chimneys built
Linemen were gathering up masses of
tangled wires and housewives were
hanging out blankets, bedding and
clothes to dry.
The saddest feature of the day was
the funerals, that Of Mrs. Robert J.
Lowe and child taking place In the
morning. The house was crowded with
men, women and children, and every
eye was wet. The young mother will
be buried with her baby in her arms.
The relief fund is growing rapidly,
over $4,000 having already been re-
ceived. The sufferers nre not In need
of outside contributions. The property
loss Is placed Mt 100000.
The storm seems to have lifted after
leaving Birmingham. and, except for
giving Huntsville. Alabama. a slight
touch, did not make itself felt until II
passed over into Georgia.
At Chambers, Georgia, near Rome, a
railroad station was blown into creek
and washed away.
At RounsevIlle big Touring mill
was destroyed. The handsome resi-
dence of the Rounseville family was
wrecked, but no one was injured.
At Carterville lightning struck q
school house, killing two children.

Brown down q couple Of days be6oee
he came, and the fre was made for
the purpose for which It was after
wards used. We gathered more wood
and kept the fre burning all night
and supposed the body had been en-
tirely consumed"
The location of the cabin in the lone
ly spot on the Powder river was an
ideal one for the commission OF the
awful crime. To the east Of the house,
and about ten feet from 1t, 10 q root
cellar. On entering this nothing sus-
picious was noticeable, except that the
west end was solidly boarded up. How
ever, the officers in the search OF the
place, found q door concealed in the
wall. Opening this concealed door a
tunnel about ten feet long was ex-
posed, which led to a cellar under the
house. The roof of this cellar was
covered with large logs, which also
formed the floor of the house, 1t being
covered with dirt so az to give 1t the
appearance of being ground door.
In the cellar was furnace partly I'm
ished and rocks enough laying around
=
to complete It
1t has since been learned that 1t was
the intention Of the two murderers and
some companions, who have not vet
been located, to conduct an Illicit still
and a counterfeiting den under the
house, but, failing to obtain the neces-
sary machinery, the men never got
down to actual work.
Many letters from green goods men
were found In the den and other evil
dences that the criminals intended to
do business on large scale.
The fact Is also being brought to
light that Brown was implicated with
the murderers In their proposed illegal
transactions, he having furnished
sums of money at different times with
which to construct the still and foun-
dations for the counterfeiting ma
chinery.
At the coroner's inquest DIR. Allen
testified that the teeth found in the
ashes of the bonfire were those OF
Arapahoe Brown. DR.. Onderdonk also
testified that portions of the remains
were those Of Brown, and there is now
no doubt that the body found in the
fire was that of Brown and that the
confessions of the men are true.
Under the law the murderers ara
punishable by hanging, and as feeling
here is intensely bitter against the
men the chances are they will pay the
penalty Of their crime on the gallows.
