SHERIFF HUNTING FOR
MURDERER IN SAN JUAN
Clues in Hands of Officers Nav Lead
TO Detection of Slayer of Sheen
Hertler Near FarminotOn.
Especial Dispatch to the Morning Jonrna

Especial Dispatch to the Morning journal. !
Pennington, N. NJ, Jan. 1S.-It is
believed that the murderer of the late
Manuel Montoya, the sheep herder
who was found twelve miles from here
with two bullet holes through his
body will be apprehended in the
course of the next few days. as the
sheriff is following up some valuable
clues which he thinks will put the
criminal behind the bars soon. Mon
toya's two sons left yesterday for La
Posta where the body will be inferred.
Recent Investigations near the
scene of the crime revealed several
clues which will assist in discovering
the murderer. A 44-calibre cartridge
shell was found 200 yards from the
body under a cedar tree with some
shavings and horse tracks showing
that some hOrsemen stopped under
the tree and whitfield. 1t is thought
the shell was put there for a decep-
tion, however.
After hearing evidence i'm the case
Tuesday and wednesday the coroner's
jury returned the following verdict:
I'VE, the undersigned, Justice of the
peace and jury who sat upon the in
quest held January 10th. 1907. on the
body of Manuel Montoya, found in
precinct number 5, of the county of
San Juan find that the deceased came
to his death by reason OF gunshot
wounds inflicted by a gun held in the
hands of a person or persons un-
known to us, and that we believe that
the deceased Manuel Montoya was
wilfuly murdered"
No possible motive for the crime
has yet come to light as the deceased
bore the best possible reputation. The
sheriff and coroner both have received
some valuable information which they
will not divulge.

IBy Morning Journal Special Leased Wire ]
Salt Lake, Utah, AIN. 1S.-The con-
vention of the National Wool Growers
association had but one session today
and that was wholly devoted to the
receiving of addresses and discussion
OF the topics presented. This after
noon the delegates devoted to inspec-
tion of the 500 sheep on exhibition at
the state fair grounds.
II. G. Giltiman of Helena, secretary
of the Montana Wool Growers asso-
citation, began todays program with
a paper on "Depredations of Preda-
tory Wild Animals"
Dr. f. ID. Titus of Minneapolis, dis
cussed Government Dips" and Rob-
ert Taylor of Abbott. Nebraska, pre-
sented THE Best Methods of Scab

Standpoint" Vice President j. Fl.
HALEY of Delta, Colorado, spoke of
the Cooperative Livestock Commits
sion Company" f. $, Gosney of Flag
staff president of the Arizona Wool
Growers association. closed the day
program with a paper on THE Fu-
ture of the Association"
1t developed early that the delegates
almost to a man, are bitterly opposed
to the forest reserve policy of the
government. This sentiment was Wig
orously voiced by the vice president
and set the convention wild with en-
thusiasm and the defense of Chief For
ester Pinchot of the agricultural de-
pertinent, was eoldly received.
AT the climax of his address DR..
Wilson. declared that the transfer OF
The range into forest reserves from
which the sheen are excluded will nut
Wyoming back twenty years and re-
duce her wealth.
Proceeding, he also discussed the
transportation question, saying the fa-
cilities of the roads should be ample
in view of the increased equipment
within the past year. The trouble. he
suggested is due to Lack of speed
rather than to Lack of cars.
Mr.. Pinchot took the broad ground
that the sheepmen represent only a
small proportion of the people of the
United States and that their interests
must give way, If necessary, to the
welfare of the nation. He expressed
his personal sympathy but added:
This question of ranges, is your
question, not ours. Our concern Is
for the hemesteaders. The govern
ment wants to raise children instead
of lambs"
The following delegates were Sc
lected today 10 constitute a committee
on resolutions: p. II. sullivan, Ari-
zona; F. Gooding, Idaho; Dan p.
Smythe, Utah; H. f. Campbell, Ari-
zona, and ]. e. Bower Montana.
This committee went into session
after the convention adjourned and
