DEATH OF HOLDUP
WILLIAM YOUNG, ACCUSED OF
ROBBERY, FOUND DEAD.
SEQUEL OF DURANGO AFFAIR
Fugitive From Justice Discovered
Dead in Lonely Canon-various
Theories as to How He Was
Killed.

~ S'J SdHon-VdTlouS
Theories as to How He Was
Killed.
Durango, Colo.-Mysteriou killed
In canon, the dead body of William
Young has given rise to a problem
which is puzzling the police. 1t was
found mile north of the Neglected
mine, seventeen miles northwest of
here. A bullet hole in his abdomen
showed how he came to his death.
Young was fugitive from justice at
The time of his death. He was accused
of being one of the band of four
masked highwaymen who held up
party of young people on the road
from Durango to Trimble Springs.
The gruesome find was made by G.
II. Van Endert, who has been working
at the Neglected mine. He was at
tracted to the spot by the barking of
his dog, which would not desist and
would not leave until his master had
reached the body. Immmedatelv af-
ter the discovery Van Endert notified
the men at the mine, and Horace Riv-
ers and James German returned with
him.
The dead man was lying on the bank
of stream fiat on his back. His belt
full of cartridges was around him, and
a. his side lay his revolver.
Rivers came to Durango with the
news tonight.
Frank White, one of the victims of
the robbery, had claimed that the mask
of one of the robbers slipped from his
face during the robbery. He said he
recognized Young as the man whose
mask slipped. Bessie Kelly, one of the
party, also declared that she recog
ni2ed him.
Young left the next morning for
Salt Lake. When he had gone as far
as Mancos, Colorado, he was arrested
snd held. He telephoned Sheriff
Thompson at Durango, asking the
sheriff if he could not come to Du-
range alone and without a guard,
promising faithfully to return.
The sheriff relied on his promise,
and told him to return, which Young
did. and placed himself in the hands
OF the sheriff. He was released on
bond later. His preliminary examina-
tion was completed last Monday noon,
when the judge announced that Young
would be held over to the District
Court under 1000 bonds.
The court then took a recess. At
o'clock it was announced that Young
had fed. Every effort was made to
find him, without success. The news
OF his death was the first word heard
of him here.
Van Endert left Rivers and German
in charge of the body, saying they
would stay there until the arrival of
the coroner. Coroner Lackey left for
the scene of the death at once.
There are several theories concern
ing the Nuse of the death. Some think
Young was shot accidentally by his re-
yolver falling as he drank at the
stream; others say suicide; others de-
clare he had an enemy. The meager
information at hand renders it impos-
sible to substantiate either theory.
The horse of the dead man, with his
blankets and provisions. was caught
near the Neglected mine Tuesday
night.
