that he had met with foul play. bu
nothing came of it, altho the county
officials were asked to investigate. Ar
mold DieStman. farmer of the some
vicinity, met Posey driving his team
toward home and saw bundle in the
wagon box that looked like a mar
rolled UP. When officers visited the
farm blood stained bed quilts Were
found, but it was explained that fresh
ly butchered hogs had been laid on the
quilts.
After two weeks absence Posey re-
turned. visited around Lawton. and
even went to Devils Lake. the county
seat and called upon Sheriff Rutten
making what was asserted to be sat
isfactory statement in regard to Shan
mons disappearance. No further ac-
ton was ever taken In the matter.
Shortly after the affair Mrs. Posey
dropped a word or two which cast sus-
persons, including A. j. Gronna of this
place she said she did not dare to tell
anything, or Posey would kill her.

feeling that a crime had been COM
mitted. made a thorough investigation
of the premises after Mrs. Posey's de-
parture. with the~result that Shannon 8
body was found under the barn.
It is believed that Posey and Shan
non quarreled over the amount of
money due the latter shortly after
leaving Lawton and that Posey killed
Shannon at that time. The body was
then wrapped in the bed clothing,
which was used as robes, and taken
back to the farm and buried. 1t was
the body of Shannon that was seen by
Diestman and a companion.
Wounds on the body indicate that
Shannon was pounded to death. The
skull was fractured and the features
hammered to pulp. The body also
showed numerous bruises. as if Shan
non had been kicked. Owing to the
continued cold weather the body was
in a good state of preservation.
Now that the crime has been ferreted
out by private persons, the county Of
fcers are waking up and taking an
active part in the matter In the hope
that Posey can be apprehended and

der the circumstances. the crime would
have been traced to his door long ago
and he would now be prisoner in
stead of fugitive.
