Rain Stops Work.
Rain prevented the excavation about
the farm of death today and Sheriff
Smulzer devoted his time to uncarth
ing possible evidence which may be
used in the trial of Ray Lamphere on
ia charge of having caused the deaths
of Mrs. Guinness and her children.
The result of his investigation was
such that Ralph N. Smith prosecuting
attorney, announced that he will seek
the immediate indictment of Lamphere
and will endeavor to have the case
called for trial at the next term OF
