Slain in the Wagon
Has Been Established

mystery of the finding of two deserted
wagons filled with bullet holes and

partially cleared by the Identification
of the victims as Archie Irvine of Cos
tos, Okla and his son Thomas. They
were relatives of Cheyenne people, who
had been expecting them here from
Baker City, Or.
The murders, it is believed were COM
mitted by tramps who killed the father
first snd when the son returned seek
ing him killed him also, taking the
wagon to Hanna, Wyo., near which
place it was deserted. The last heard
of the Irvines was on July at Point
of Rocks, west of Rawlins, Wyo
The finding of quantity of women s
clothing in the wagon is explained by
the fact that Mrs Irvine was a con-
sumptive and the trip by wagon was
being made for her benefit. Shortly
before the murders she left the party
and went to Oklahoma by train, where
she now is.
Although both corpses, the faces of
which were blown away to prevent
identification, were found but a few
days ago, the murders were probably
there is now no clew by which to
trace the murderers.
Irvine leaves, besides his widow, an
other son, Edward Irvine, in Kansas
