DID SHEPHERD DIE
WITH BLASTING LIE
PASSING HIS LIPS?
Enemy Of Cox Lied or Was
Mistaken When He Named
Assailant Who Shot Him.

Custer, S. d. July 4.-Did Frank
Shepherd, animated by a hatred for f.
NJ. Cox, go to his death with a lie on
his lips when he made the ante-mortem
statement accusing Cox of killing him?
This is the question that is agitating
this community. Shepherd was shot
n killed last week and just before he
died declared thai Cox had done the
shooting. At first the statement was
accepted, but later developments are
tending to prove that it was either
false or incorrect.
Cox and his son Henry ave been
working at the Ideal mine. On the
night of the murder Cox claims to have
gone to bed at Z o'clock and this state
ment is substantiated by the men at
the Ideal boarding house. If this is
true Cox was at the time of the muir
der three miles away from the spot
where it occurred. Cox is an old man
and II is said to be a physical impos-
sibility for a man of his age to have
covered the three miles to Shepherds
place owe a mountain Dad between
the time O was seen to go to bed
and the time Of the kt!.ing. The case
has aroused a great deal of interest in

that either Shepherd was lying or mis-
taken when he said that Cox did the

the belief that she had gone with the
children.
w. E. Doty, in a message yesterday,
stated that Mr.. Fry was his cousin,
and that ne had beer released and had
taken the children to New York, there
being no ground for the detention at
Rock Rapids.
According to a decree handed down
in the New York courts in March, Mrs.
Fry was granted the custody of the
children until June 25 of this year, af-
ter which Mr.. Fry was to have possess
sion of the children for a year. and SO
on alternately. Thus, Mrs. Fry has not
been in legal possession of the children
since June 2b.
The decree given in the New York
courts was a legal separation, but was
not a divorce.
