Aged Man Slain in His Store

Aged Man Slain in His Store
 Mystery surrounds the murder of Samuel Randolph, aged 80 years, owner of a general store at Dogtown two miles from Mulberry, whose body was found in his store at an early hour Wednesday morning. A large gash, apparently cut by blunt in strument, was found in the back of his head. This wound had caused his death.
 The motive for killing the aged man cannot be fixed as he was not known to have any enemies, and the con- siderable amount of money which was in the store at the time was not touched. He had $40 in cash on his person and about $500 in the store. Not a cent was taken.
 The body was discovered Wednes- day morning by Sterling Party and Lem Beneaux, who went into the store to make a purchase. They found both doors to the store open and the body lying in pool of blood be- tween the stove and a counter The lamp was still burning. The coron- CTS jury, which conducted the inquest over the body, returned a verdict to the effect that Randolph was mur- dered by parties unknown to the jury.
 Randolph had lived at Dogtown several years. He had no relatives in that section of the country. He was separated from his wife some time ago. She now lives at Fort Smith.

James Cain Slain by John Taylor.


 James Cain, liveryman of McCrcry and a brother of William Cath of Augusta, sheriff of Woodruff county, was shot and almost instantly killed on the streets in front of his stable at 2:30 Tuesday afternoon by City Marshal John c. Taylor, with whom he had been involved in quarrel. There were a number of witnesses to the shooting and the general opinion prevails there that the officer acted in self-defense, although he has been ar rested and is being held in jail.
 Taylor and Cain, both of whom are married and have families, have been neighbors for some time. Monday Cain and his family moved to another part of the town, and before leaving Cain took down the wire fence be- tween the yards and carried it away with him, ignoring the protest of Mrs. Taylor, who claimed that a portion of the fence at least, was the prop erty of her husband, absent from home at the time.
 Not until Tuesday morning did the two men meet The marshal at once asked Cain why he had taken the fence down without first notifying him. Cain answered that he owned the wire and had a right to it and in the argument that followed both men became very angry. At 2:30 Tuesday afternoon the men again met and the quarrel was renewed. Taylor is said to have struck Cain with his fist, and when the latter drew his revolver is alleged to have secured his own from it's holster and had fired twice before Cain could press the trigger of his weapon. Four times the officer shot, each bullet taking effect in Gains body one striking his arm, another enter ing the back and two penetrating the chest. Crying to Taylor not to shoot again, Cain turned and ran toward his barn, falling dead before he had gone more than a few feet.
 After the shooting Taylor gave him. self up to the officers and was taken to jail to await the verdict of the coroner's jury.

urday afternoon and remained until
after night fall but they were not
drinking when they returned to the

One of the last trio had purchased
revolver In town. Supt. Burton
will make every effort to find out
who sold this boy the gun and a
prosecution is likely to follow. Supt.
Burton had warned all second hand
dealers and hardware men in the
der any circumstances. The man
who sold the gun to one of the boys
should be punished severely.
On the person of one of the boys
lodged in Jail was found razor
secured from some unknown source.
Had he been able to get at this wea-
pom in his struggle with the disclip-
marian he might have used it with
fatal effect.
Where do the Indian boys get
whiskey In Grand Junction? The
police, the sheriff's office and the
people in general should do all In
their power to help Supt. Burton find
out. 1t is a serious offense to fur
nish an Indian with liquor. Supt.
Burton is hardly inclined to believe
that the boys are able to purchase
the liquor themselves at any of the
local saloons but more likely have
some friend to buy 1t for them. The
quiet when sober but 1t is we'll
known what a change liquor will
work in an Indian youth or man.
The matter is of grave Importance
and Is giving the Indian school aur-
thorities no little trouble.

where they get the whiskey. very
effort will be made to get the three
now under arrest to confess. sa
