ments occasionally. He spoke at the
Methodist conference held at Streator
year ago, when his eloquence and
force and firm footstep we're much
commented on.
He was born at Hinesburg, VI, on
Nov. 5, 1906. He preached In New
York conferences a number OF years
before coming to Illinois. In this state
his first assignment was at Woodstock
where he remained ten years, going
later TO Gardner and Verona. The
latter was his first regular appoint
ment, and expired fifteen years ago.
There are curious coincidents In the
careers OF the Rev Mr.. Alden and the
Rev. Mr.. Ayres, the two oldest Method
tist ministers. Both we're born IN
Vermont, each entered on his first re
gular assignment In New York in 1880
and each is spending his last years

CHARLES CAUSE
MURDER D
LEONARD WOOD COUNTY RANCH.
MAN SHOT DOWN IN THE
DESERT.

District Attorney S. b. Davis, Jr, has
received word from Leonard Wood
county of the cold blooded murder OF
Chas. Cause, the wei known ranch
man and stockman Of FL Paso. Ac-
cording to the reports received from
men who came up from that country,
Cause left Gallinas Springs, where
he had some sheep, Sunday to drive
to his home at Ell Paso. He was
never seen a..se again. Monday
were two ghastiy 5pllet wounds In the
Head and two IN II. ". Whatever
may have been the motive, 1t was
not robbery. r.. lollars which the
man had In his pocket was untouch-
ed, and the stun in his blackboard
had not been molested.
Cause was not known to have any
enemies. There Is said to be abso.
lnteIS no clew to the perpetrators Of
one Of the foulest crimes that has
ever disgraced New Mexico. Deceas-
ed was hard working. unostentatious
and generally popular man. Formerly
he lived in Socorro county. The Of
flcers are making every effort to run
down the criminals, but 1t is feared.
with little hope OF success.
Sheriff Cleofas Romero. also. re-
ceived word regarding the murder Of
Chas. Cause today. The information
given to the sheriff inclines him to
the belief that some man on foot ap-
preached Mr.. Cause on the road and
asked for ride, that taking ajvant-
age OF the kindness, the migrate shot
and killed Mr.. Cause. then drove his
team some distance further until he
came to a place where he could walk
away from the road without leaving
any trail. AT any rate. there is eyi.
dence that the team had been lriven
some distance from the place. where
the body was found in th road. fhe
sheriff has had no information that
would lead him TO believe there is
ny cne to the perpertrator Of the
crime. Unless some motive for the
murder can be learned, II seems as
though the task Of nniing the Grimm.
lal will be almost an impossible one,
