Another Murder

Last. Friday afternoon /. e. Showalte
who had been working on the Mofrat
grade above Boulder park, was murdered
by being shot through the heart. 1t i.
believed the primary motive for the Kill
ling was robbery. Showalter had cash.
ed check for S6.35, short time prev.
ious to his death, at Rice's store in Ben.
son. He Their left for Rollinsville. After
going about mile it is thought that
some one who had seen him cash the
check and had followed him, attempt ed
to hold him up, when for some reason
the holdup shot Showalter in the breast,
the bullet entering the heart. a butch
er from Boulder happened along at this
time, and seeing man lying in the road,
got out and picking up Showalter found
him just expiring, and also saw man
crossing the creek as though he desired
to escape. Two of Showalter's pockets
had been turned inside out, but it is sup
posed the timely arrival of Minks posi-.
bly, forced the holdup to leave his victim
before he secured any money. Minks
gave the alarm, and parties i'm mediately
began looking for the murderer. Dur.
ing Sunday man named Williams was
drinking heavily, and did considerable
talking as regarded the murder, and
finally it was thought that he knew more
than he cared to state, and he was ar
rested by DR.. Baughman and brought
to Central. The body of Showalter was
brought 20 Central and an autopsy held
on Sunday. and on Tuesday the remains
were buried. An inquest was called for
Monday, but owing to the non-appear-
ance Of witnesses it was postponed until
this evening.

The affection with which his memory is cherished and the joyous admiration with which his name is spoken throughout this country is a broad and sufficient evidence that his conduct of the artists life since then has been less prudent and right than
 kindly, modest, gentle and sincere. It is not caprice which shapes such ca reer as that of MT. Jefferson, nor is it accident that has crowned it with the laurels of honor.
