THE LAFEY MYSTERY
Believed That He Was Murdered Dur.
ino Quarrel With a Follow Crook
Who Had conspired With Him TO
Rob q cattleman Named Westfall.

Sioux CITY, Jan l7.---The police now
believe that the mysterlouT murder of
Charles Lafey. alias Joseph O'Brien,
alias Joe Ryan, was the result OF a
quarrel between the murdered man
and a fellow crook, whom Lafey was
going to take in on deal to rob Claus
Westfall, prominent and wealthy
cattleman, residing near Calumet. For
some days prior to his death. Lafey
had been working for Frank Bidwell
another farmer residing near Calumet,
to come to Sioux City with shipment
OF cattle.
Lafey only went as far as Cherokee
on the cattle train, however, and going
to the cooperative store in the town.
asked permission of Charles Dayis the
manager to leave u grip there. The
permission was given. Davis recognize
Ing Lafey as man who had worked
for cattlemen in that region before ana
who had been in Cherokee about six
months ago.
The murdered man stayed at The
Cherokee hotel Tuesday night and
came to Sioux CITY early Wednesday
morning. 1t IL believed by the police
that he had arranged with his murder
er, who was here, to hold up Claus
Westfall, who always carried large
sums of money on his person. Some
dispute is supposed to have arisen be-
tween Lafey and his pal. which resulted
in the murder Of the crook.
No definite clues have been discov-
cred as to who the slayer of Lafey was.
The detectives have arranged with
Charles Davis. who was In the city,
to send the grip which was left in tho
cooperative store at Cherokee by
Lafey, to this city. and it is hoped that
something may be found In 1t which
will put the sleuths on the right scent.

WILL ACCOMPLISH MUCH

The Hayre representatives that at
tended the Mayors convention at
Helena returned Sunday morning
and expressed themselves we'll pleased
with the work accomplished at the
convention, and with the attention
shown the Havre officers.
One Of the first matters of impor-
tance taken up at the convention was
House Bill No. 7, which provides for
the creation Of State Board of Health
Mayor Newman addressed the con-
yention and called the attention
to this bill, particularly to the most
Objectionable feature of it which are
first: that all cities and towns must
organize local boards of health, the
physician of which shall be paid not
less than $1,000 or more than $4,000
per month. The county health officer
shall receive $500 per day when per-
forming duty as such officer and per
diem OF Is cents per mile. Cities
and towns shall provide and maintain
isolation hospitals, stamp out all con-
tageous diseases and pay all costs of
same. The mayor cited instances
which proved that in the event Of an
epidemic of small pox, such as has
been prevalent throughout the state,
that a number of young cities and
towns would become bankrupt.
Another section provides for the
free and compulsory vaccination of all
the inhabitants of every city and town
annually, over the age of two years.
Another section provides that no
city or town shall run sewerage into
any river, lake or stream without
first constructing septic tanks, in ac-
cordance with orders from the State
Board of Health or its secretary, who
according to the bill, has all the power
of the whole board and there is no
appeal from his decision. The Mayor
compared the present law which pro-
vides for cases in which a nuisance
exists that is detrimental to the
health Of any person, or persons Of any
town, that complaint shall be made
to the State Board of HEALTH, who
shall investigate the case and if the
nuisance does exist, and after inyes-
tigation the State Board of Health OF
it's secretary can show sufficient evil
dence that such nuisance is detri-
mental to the health of the complain
