MURDER NAY HAVE
BEEN DONE BY INDIANS

Sheriff Clark returned Saturday night
from Montello, where he went to investi-
gate the statements made by Ewing and
Morrison. the men arrested at Carlin for
the aaontello murder. says the Elko Inde-
pendent. He thoroughly investigated
every statement maue by them and found
them strictly true and Sunday mornln.
ne released both of them from custody.
Sunday night they eft for the Mcintyre
ranch. where they had secured work.
The Sheriff also made further inves-
tigation Of the murder and now inclines
to the belief that the motive for the crime
was revenge instead Of robbery. and that
1t was committed by drunAen Indians.
He found that the man who was muir
dered was taken of a freight train at
Tecoma. nearly frozen to death. few
days before he was killed. He was cared
for by the family Of the section foreman
and given a change Of clothes when ne
left. He had no money or other yalu-
ables when he left Tecoma. This. taken
with the fact that the only thing found
on his person was a hypodermic syringe.
showing that he was a dope ..eno, strong
ly corroborates the Sherifs belief that
robbery was not the motive for the crime
A knife sucn as those used by house,
wives In pealing potatoes and a pocket
knife were found at the scene Of the
crime. The former was free from blood.
but the latter was covered with it, Sher-
IN Clark examined the ocekt knife and
found the brand. Noi.J of the mer-
chants of Montello deal in that particu-
lar brand of knives and the Sheriff is try
ing to find out If any one in that section
deals in them. He has men also looAlng
after the Indians that were in Montello
drunk the day the murder was commit

the zero mark, to stake out claims as
soon as the old year had passed.
Strange to say, no violence occurred.
although many claims that they believed
to be valuable passed into the possession
Of new locators. The danger OF trouble
is not all past, however. as it is not
improbable that some of the ground has
been located twice on account of the
darkness.
From o'clock until carry in the morn

Every rig in the city was taken, many

The ledge has been tapped by a tun-

mine ever since its discovery several
years ago. numerous mill runs having
been made on ore from the claim by its

American intervention in Cuba Is

Secretary Taft will issue a proclama

force of American marines will dis

The end came to the Cuban repub
lie through the refusal of President
Palma to withdraw his resignation
and the action of the moderates in de
clining to attend the session of con
gress,
II is certain that a sufficient force
of American troops will be maintained
in Cuba TO support the provisional
government and TO insure security to
life and property pending the estab-
lishment of a stable government by
the Cubans.
American troops are moving toward
Cuba. Mobilization of the force will
be at Newport News, Va, for the most
part, although part of the first ex.
peditionary force to Cuba will be

Advices received at the department
of the military establishment of the
government indicate that all is quiet
in Cuba, and that the insurgents in.
tend to lay down their arms. The
probability is that the United States
forces in the island will be landed only
as a precautionary measure.
Some cases of yellow fever have
developed in Havana and Secretary
Taft is concerned lest the disease at
tack the troops which are to be as,
sembled there. Maj. Kean, who has
had an extended experience not only
in Cuba but also in the Philippines,
and is thoroughly familiar with the
health conditions in Havana, will look
