Durango semi-weekly herald., 1906-06-04

the TWO parties having failed to agree
on terms.
Roy Morrison came down from
Burnt Timber gulch yesterday even
ing and will return tomorrow or next
day to the scene of his mine prospect
development.
w. e. Gill came down from the Dn-
range Girl mine this morning and re-
turns tomorrow. He is putting mp
new buildings to add sleeping room
There are Is miners working on the
mine now and it is expected to en-
large the force soon.
Hon. T. u. Burns went out this
morning to TERRA Amarillo and on to
Denver. He has been visiting Trim
Bile Springs with the purpose OF plan
ming improvements which will make
the popular resort more attractive.
When Colonel Calvin and Mr.. Mears
came down this morning they were
going to hold him and he came near
missing his train.
Rosa May vsnderlip was the name
written in the complaint which was
presented In Judge Houx's court this
afternoon, charging her with murder,
and the murdered mans name WAS
given as Clarence Gray.
District Attorney Pulliam appeared
for the prosecution, and he doubtless
took the name OF Clarence Gray from
the lips OF the dying man who had
been known here as Vanderlip.
Attorney Chas. A. Johnson appear
ed for the defense and waived exam
ination OF his client Judge Houx
held the woman without bail. This is
the extent of investigation, so far as
the courts have been able to give to
the public.
Since 1t appears that the murdered
mans name is not Vanderlip, there
will probably be some peculiar com
plications arising which may effect
various interests. He had given a
bond for deed to $4,000 worth oil
property, which was held by the First
National bank. 1t is understood that
ne had received about $4,000 of the
money. The last payment OF s., 900
had been deferred, and ii remains to
be seen II further time had been
granted by Vanderlip; II time had not
been given. the woman who claims
she killed Vanderlip would become
sole heir to tine entire property, by
virtue of deed which ne gave the
woman last July, when it is under
stood he married her.
Whatever is his real name II lie
gal marriage was performed it will
hold and be valid, unless possibly it
might he shown that fraud obtained
in both the marriage and the second
transfer of the property 1t is prob
able that the purchasing company
will go on and pay the remaining
$4,000 to whomever the courts Will
give It to and take up the Silverton
mining property sold some two years
ago by vanderlip. That deed in es.
crow will hold good as title il the
purchasers have not forfeited their
rights under the contract. 1t was the
$4,000 probably, which has cut a
good deal Of ice
Vanderlips brother is expected to
arrive here tomorrow evening from
Chicago, when he will probably go
into the affairs of the dead man
SILVERTON, June 2.-The deed OF
Charles Vandsrlip conveying to Rosa
May Vanderlip mining property in
San Juan county was recorded at 5
p. M. Tuesday, May 30
Charles Vanderlip was shot by his
wife at midnight Monday. May 2S. 1t
is not learned who presented the deed
for filing at Silverton, or when 1t had
first been left with the clerks Office
there. but it is presumable that the
deed went up the day previous, as the
mail train from Durango on the 29th
could not reach Silyerton in time for
the deed to be recorded at 8. m. II
the deed was sent up by some party
on the mixed train on the morning
of the 29th of May the clerk and re-
corder there will probably remember
who filed it.
This deed Is for the same proper.
ty. 1t Is understood. which is In es-
crow OF under contract for sale to
eastern parties, in the First National
bank of Durango. about $1,000 already
having been paid.
Interesting complications are piling
up since vanderlip was murdered
and the matter begins to bear the
tinge Of conspiracy. 1t may be that
May Fuqua is not alone responsible
for the murder of Vanderlip.
1t is the custom for county clerks
to file documents they accept when
handed to them or II received by mai
to Ale them at the hour of reception
Had this document gone up the day
before 1t would reach Silverton in
the evening and be filed the nexl
morning. The conclusion is that the
deed was sent up on the mixed train
the morning OF the 29th.
