awful murder in North Cheyenne

motive was undoubtedly robbery.
According to her parents. Mrs. Bou.
ton was In the employ of a drug frm.

marks arc found on the body Of the
dead woman, the teeth being the one
mark OF possible identity which the
murderers failed TO destroy.
Mrs. Bouton's mother has wired to
another daughter. Mrs. Charles Nelson

to Colorado Springs and try to cstab.
lith whether the dead woman and the
Kcmpter girl are the same. No word
has yet been received from California
