ed to take a whaleboat and try and

headed east by north for Nassau. The
sea was so rough that every wave dash

WRAY TAYLOR
IS MISSING
UNEXPLAINED ABSENCE OF THE
AGRICULTURAL COMMISSIONER
ACCOUNTS FOUND ALL RIGHT.

The long absence of Agricultural
Commissioner Wray Taylor has caused
an investigation into his affairs, as no
reason is known for his failure to re-
turn from San Francisco His ac-
counts have been found correct, and
there is much mystery about his con-
tinued absence.
Taylor left here on January 3, on
the Korea, and was to have taken that
boat, or a previous one, back to Homo
lulu. He went to consult with Com
missioner Craw of California and had
a months leave of absence from Gov
ernor Dole. He has not written to
ask for an extension of the leave of
absence, and no one has heard from
him for several steamers.
After arriving in San Francisco
Taylor attended to the duties for which
he went He sent back two dozen hop
plants, for experiments mere, and they
were received by Professor Perkins.
The same steamer that brought the
plants brought a letter stating that
Taylor would return on the Alameda,
but nothing has been heard from him
since, by government officials.
The China on February 20 brought a
Letter from Taylor to Sister Albertina,
in which he said: when you receive
this | will be far from San Francisco"
The letter also contained limitations
that Taylor would not be seen in Homo
lulu again. Taylor's wife and daughter
here have received no word from him
on the subject, and think he will re-
turn.
On February c. B. Reynolds a
friend of Taylor received a letter from
Taylor asking him to sell Taylors
house and turn the proceeds over to
Mrs. Taylor. A power of attorney for
Reynolds was sent with the letter, Tay-
lor having been advised by Henry
Holmes, whom he met in San Francisco
that a power of attorney he had
given to Mrs. Taylor was not sufficient
alone. Taylor wrote that he had prac-
tically arranged the sale before he
left.
No satisfactory theory has been sug-
gested to account for Taylor's remain
ing away. One theory is that he has
become mentally deranged. An
other possible explanatation is that he
left by Vancouver steamer for Japan,
to visit his son, w. e. Taylor.

SENSATIONAL STORY OF DUEL
In LA FAIR MURDER TRIAL

Denver, Oct ia Grand Junction
dispatch of last night says:
Fer the first time the public was
given an accurate account of the Mas
sey killing when the state to-day pre-
sented its case in the trial of William
La Fair, charged with murder. The
witnesses, who reside forty miles from
Grand Junction. disclosed two import
ant facts, one of which created consid-
cradle sensation in the court room.
This was that Massey used his five
year-old son as a shield against La
Fairs bullets, and that fully half a
dozen shots were exchanged in duel
in which Z. T. Massey was killed.
Testimony favorable to the defense was
given, upon cross-eXamination, by
nearly every witness for the state.
and was to the effect that Massey had
been heard to threaten La Fair. This
is in support of La Fairs contention
that he killed Massey in sef-defense.
c. F. Bowman. wholesale. butcher,
who OWES ranch in the Unaweep
country near those of Massey and La
Fair, was the chief witness for the
prosecution. He testified that he had
gone from Grand Junction for cattle,
and was at his ranch with SilZell, Ham
mond, Castro, Tries and La Fair, cat
tlemen and cowboys. They had been
rounding up cattle when Massey rode
up. They nodded and Massey rode on

Roosevelt that federal troops would be

STOCkMEN AND
FOREST RESERVES

Denver, Oct. 13-Charles Martin
secretary of the Live Stock Association
has returned from trip to Salt Lake
City, where he met with the Utah Wool
Growers Association. He says the
stockmen of Utah are stirred up over
the question of segregating the forest
reserves
Forest reserves is one of the ques-
tions that will cause discussion at the
meeting of the National Live Stock AS
sociation when it meets in Portland in
January" said Mr.. Martin. The In
terror Department has set aside so
much of the grazing land of the West
in forest reserves that the stockmen are
beginning to believe that the range is
being lost to them. Unless some steps
are taken to discourage the depart
ment in making forest reserves of the
best grazing land of the West the
sheepmen will be crowded to the wall.
I'm the state of Utah there are 81
00O00O acres of land, and of this
amount of 10000 900 acres is arid
The arid land makes good grazing land
when the snow is on but in the summer
the sheep must be taken to the noun
tains. Of the 12 900 600 acres in Utah
that is not in the arid belt 1000 900 are
set aside as forest reserves, guarded by
rangers to keep out the sheepmen. II
is said that the sheep destroy the young
growth in the forest reserves. The fact
is that the grazing of sheep in the re-
serves would be a good thing. 1t would
clear away the underground of weeds
that feed the forest fires every year
and destroy thousands of acres of tim
ber.
in Oregon out of e3,00O,oOO acres
of grazing land in the state 23.O0O,O0O
are set aside as reserves. In Colorado
the condition is becoming just as bad
Recently 36S,0 900 acres were set aside in
Gunnison. Pueblo, Leadville and Del
Norte districts. That means so much
less grazing ground for sheep.

AGAINST TIMBER
AND STONE ACT

Washington. Oct 13.-In his forth
coming annual land report Land Com
missioner Richards will present
forceful argument in favor of radical
notifications of the timber and stone
act. He builds his argument upon the
showing of rapidly increasing timber
entries in late years.
Out of 1874, $50 acres of public lands
entered during the past fiscal year
1,765.222 acres were covered by timber
entries, or more than three times the
area of timber entries in the preceding
year. This growth is better appreciated
when it is known that in twenty-five
years the timber and stone act has been
operative. less than 1000 900 acres all
told have been entered under its pro-
vision.
Commissioner Richards objects 10
the timber and stone act because ii
allows entrymen. largely spectators.
to acquire for $3.50 an acre lands that
are easily worth 500.
There is no doubt that the law is
being taken advantage of by specula-
tors, who are getting rich at the eX-
pense of the government and Of men
for whose benefit the law was primar-
lily passed." he. says. 1T Is right that
this timber should be cut and used
commercially. but the government
should get an adequate return for part
ing with the property. Matured tim
Der should be cut when ripe. Therefore
| would not favor a law that proposed
to cut off all sales, but | believe that
the present law is defective and should
be repealed. The government has more
timber land than all lumber compa-
MES own together, and it would not be
just to put fence about the forests
and forbid cutting"
Commissioner Richards also recon-
mends the repeal of the commutation
clause of the Homestead Act.

ing to dinner little later. AS he rode
toward Massey two shots were fir"
from behind, and turning he saw La
Fair riding after him toward Massey.
He supposed La Fair fired the shots
but did not know.
Massey jumped from his horse. ran to
cover behind the rail fence, and opened
fire on La Fair None of the shots
took effect. La Fair dismounted and
duel proceeded. Massey jumped from
cover long enough to pick up his little
son, and holding him in one arm and
his weapon In the other, called three
times to La Fair: Don't shoot the
boy"
La Fairs reply was; Put the boy
down"
Massey, however, clurg to the child,
crouching behind the fence and firing
when he could get sight of his enemy
who was on the other side, possibly
fifty yards down the fence.
La Fair fired the fatal shot when
Massey. putting his head through the
rails to get aim at him. got in range.
The top of his head was nearly blown
off by the shot The five year-old boy
was not hurt.
La Fair walked up to the victim,
saw that he was dead, and then joined

their distance.
