who left Roswell over week ago in
company with a young man named
Albert Ross, who was found dead
last week, worked in Amarillo for
number OF months last winter and
has many acquaintance here. Ku-
lay worked in McLoughlin's shoe
shop on Polk street up to two months
ago when he went to Roswell.
Corps Frightened the Mexican.
The death of Ross and the dissp-
pearance of Kulay with whom he
was last seem as was recounted in
the Daily Panhandle last week, con-
stitutes mystery which, apparently
only the temperance of Kulay can
settle. Last Tuesday Mexican
sheep herder forty-three miles north
west Of Roswell found the body OF a
dead man on little frequented road,
The Mexican left the place and gave
the alarm but it was not until Thurs
day that Deputies o. q. Finley and
Lem Bowen, OF Roswell, got the body
and returned with 1t to Roswell.
or the discoveries made by the
two officers, the Roswell Record tells
as follows:
1.-THE deputies traced the two Ger
mans to the Klyng ranch, where they
took dinner Sunday and left at 2
O'Clock. They traced them further to
the A. D. Garrett ranch, where they
stayed Sunday night and left early
Monday morning A sheep man saw
them crossing Salt creek at 9 o'clock
Monday morning and a Mexican her
der saw them still further on. That
is the last report that could be CLEAN
ed OF the two travellers.
SIashed With a Dirk.
THE body was lying directly
across the road, face downward and
in a position indicating that the de-
ceased had placed himself while ly-
ing, rather than to have fallen while
attacked His chest was on his fold
ed blanket and his face on a slight
elevation at the side OF the wheel
tracks. All about, the ground was
torn up as II a struggle had taken
place The body was practically I'M
dressed, the clothing being open at
all vents and the outer clothing being
thrown to the right and left, In
the dead mans wrist was deep
narrow cut, the wound Of stab from
a long narrow bladed knife. In his
neck was a slashed cut and in the
chest, just above the heart, were two
deep wounds received from stabs
from the same instrument. The man
had bled to death, his clothing and
blanket being saturated. A few feet
away, on either side, was his watch
and the knife that did the work, an
eight inch dagger upon the handle
OF which were the initials "A. X"
and which has been identified as the
property OF Adolph Klyng. Beyond
q doubt one Of the two men had taxi
en- the knife from the Klyng ranch,
but which one is mystery, The pa
pers in the mans pocket are undis-
turbed He is known to have had no
money when he left Roswell"
Ross Had no Money.
Albert Ross, the victim Of the
murder, was young German who
came to Roswell several months ago
from st. Louis for his health. He
had been working on a ranch near
Roswell and about two weeks ago
left with Kulay to go the Pacific
coast. The two men were intending
to walk to Albuquerque and to drift
across the country. Ross had no
money when he left Roswell and it
is not probable that Kulay had any
considerable amount.
The theory of officers at Roswell
is that the two in some way got to
quarrellng and that in the struggle
Kulay killed his companion. In
fright at what he had done, he then
took his belongings and fled.
BY his acquaintance here, Kulay
is remembered as a good workman
who minded his own business and
gave no cause for trouble to any of
his associates. His conduct here was
never such as to cause his acpaint-
ances to believe that he could have
been guilty of crime like that which
the dead body Of Ross indicates.
