A special from Sun Dance, Wyo.,
says: The mystery of the disap.
pearance of James Garrett, a promi.
nent ranchman, on December 10, has
been cleared by the confession OF VIII
lie Erickson, nineteen-year-old boy.
Erickson confesses that on December
10, while Garrett was driving off a
calf belonging to the Ericksons, he
was met by Otto Erickson, who COM
manded him to release the calf.
Garrett, in reply, knocked Otto from
his horse and attempted to shoot him
with rifle. The boy was too quick
and shot Garrett three times. Garrett
fell from his horse, still alive. and the
Ericksons dragged him into some
bushes and there cut his throat with
knife, despite his appeals for mercy.
Later in the day Otto returned to
the body, and tieing a rope to the
feet DIR" gged 1t some distance to
new hiding place. rwo days later
Willie and Otto packed the body on
horse end moved it four miles, de-
posting 1t where it was found by
searching parties.

WEBER WINGED AT CHARGE
IS ACCUSED OF BANK ROBBERY
AS WELL AS MURDER.
Accuses His Father, Whom He Is
Charged With Numbering, With
Having Hidden Coin Found In
the Barn.

Interest In the Auburn, Cal, muir
der case is revived py the announce
ment that $3.50 in gold has been
found where it had been hidden In
the Weber barn, and now 1t is charged
by the authorities that the money
came from bank which was robbed
some time ago, and young Weber
who Is awaiting trial on the charge
of having murdered his father, moth
er, brother and sister, and then set
ting fire to the home in order to con.
ceal the crime, is accused Of being
guilty of robbing the bank as we'll as
committing a most brutal murder.
The lard can found In the Weber
barn by Coroner Shepard and his as.
sistants contained $3.50 in gold, in
the following denominations: $43O
in fves; $3.50 in tens, and $4,000 in
twenties. The amount stolen from the
bank was $6,365, so there is a short.
age of 1926.
There Is the best evidence that the
money is the same as that taken from
the bank. The denominations CORE.
spond exactly. The strongest evi.
dence, however, is that, mixed up
with the money, were leaves and soil,
such as are found on the side Of the
ravine where the bank robber disap.
peared, and where he may have plant.
ed the money in haste and afterward
dug 1t up and again concealed 1t In the
barn.
1t was on the strength OF this find
that the bank officers swore to
complaint charging Adolph Weber
with the robbery. A warrant was Is.
sued by Justice Smith and was served
on Weber by Sheriff keena.
When informed by D. w. Lubbock,
vice president of the Placer county
bank, that the money had been found,
young Weber WINGED noticeably. He
then renewed his request that the
charge of bank robbery be not taken
up until the murder case was disposed
of, adding that the money was hidden
In the barn by his father.

Changing Figures Not a Crime.

On the grounds that the law does
not make the alteration of figures on
railroad ticket a crime, Judge Mullins
OF Denver took from the jury the case
OF A. l.. Hatch and e. e. sissons who
1or ten days have been on trial in the
west Side court for the alleged forg-
ing OF railroad tickets, and set the de-
PENDANTS at liberty. The evidence in.
troouced by the prosecution tended to
SNOW that the defendants had changed
ana plugged numbers and dates in
tickets but not that they ~. forged
signatures.

Battling Demon Had His Man Whipped
In Ten Rounds.

In the greatest fight witnessed be.
tween little men in years, Battling"
Nelson of Chicago won from Young
Corbett of Denver, in ten rounds, in
San Francisco ON Tuesday night From
the tap Of the gong until Corbett's
seconds threw up the sponge Nelson
was master of the situation at every
stage of the game. His in.fighting was
a revelation, and the most brilliant
ever witnessed in any ring here.
For the last three rounds Ut the
fight .Corbett was ss helpless as a
baby, but he wobbled around groggily
and gamely until the repeated calls
from around the house to stop the
fight caused Harry Huthill to enter
