MURDER: RESULT OF FEUD
". II. Champ, Father Of Mrs. c. c.
Rumsey Of This City, Murdered at His
Ranch in Chaffee County, Near SaIida

Late yesterday afternoon the start
ling intelligence came to Mrs. @. O.
Rumsey, the wife of the we'll known
railway emplove that her father. a
we'll known ranchman and cattleman.
residing in Chaffee county had been
shot and killed. No particulars came
with the dispatch and at once Mrs.
Rumsey prepared to go to Salida on
the evenings train. She took No.
leaving here last night for Salida.
Today the full particulars of the
shooting have reached this city. The
many friends of the lady in this city
were much shocked to learn that Mrs.
Rumsey's father had been murdered
and sought the Rumsey home yester-
they could.
The following is the complete story
of the shooting and the cause leading
up to the same:
Regan was accompanied from the
ranch by Hugh French. neighbor,
who is said to have witnessed the
shooting, though no statement could
be secured from him. lie returned
Immediately to the ranch and declared
that he would tell his story to the
coroner's Jury at the proper time and
place. 1t was learned from authentic
sources, however. that the killing
grew out of an old feud over cattle
and water rights which has existed
for the past two years. Champ and
Ragan owned ranches which adjoined
each other. but Champ had been on
the ground for % years and considered
that he had privileged right of pri-
ority. Last summer some of Champs S
cattle were shot OH RaGan's ranch. but
sufficient evidence could not be obtain
ed to warrant court action. Later
some stock belonging to Joe Scango,
an Italian ranchman, were also shot
