Tensleep Raid
Mystery Cleared
by Confession
Two Men Under Arrest at Basin Ad.
NIT Guilt and Implicate
Five Others.

BASIN. wyo.. May 2.-(SpeciaL There
Is no longer any mystery attached to the
Tensleep sheep camp raid in which three
men were murdered. Sheriff Aston, Prose
cutting Attorney Metz and Special Prose-
cutors Simpson and Enterline, as well as
the members of the grand jury, know who
committed the murders, why they com
mitted them and how they committed them.
Their knowledge Is the result of confess
sions by two OF the guilty men, which
statements implicate the confessors and
five others in the assasslnatons. All seven
men are in the county Jail here and under
heavy guard OF especially picked deputy
sheriffs. They are safe alike from friend
or foe, neither a rescuing party nor a
lynchng party can reach them.
Neither Sheriff Aston, the attorneys nor
any member Of the grand jury will dvulge
the identity OF the two men who have
confessed The companions in crime they
have betrayed do not know OF their con-
fessions They are among the following
who are the men they name as having
made the raid and whom they say are
the only persons implicated therein: George
Saban a prominent ranchman; Herman
Brink, an ex-bartender and cowboy; Ed
Eaton. a cowboy; Nj. A. Alexander Will
liam Kise, Charles Ferris and Thomas
Dixon, small ranchmen.
Sheriff Felix Alston, who has been re-
peatedly threatened with death since he
began the work Of running down the mur-
derers of Emge, Laxier and Allemand is
taking no chances with his prisoners. They
are guarded day and night and If they
are not tried during the coming term of
court the county Jail will be rebuilt to
make their imprisonment the more secure.
This is theAirst time the perpetrators Of a
range raid have been held with absolute
evidence against them and no chance in
volving possibility Of their escape will
be taken.

DRY FARMING PROSPECTS
Method that Will Add Millions Il
Agricultural Wealth.
WHAT THE CONGRESS IS DOING
Association that is Pushing the Idea
and Bringing Large Unproduc-
tive Areas Into High
Usefulness.

''The most important economic movement
now occupying the attention of the people
of the west is that which was brought into
existence three eyars ago in Denver when
there was organized the Transmissouri Dry
Farming congress-" said John 7. Burns Of
Denver, last evening.
"Three years ago the average business
man and farmer smiled sarcastically when
he read about so-called dry farming. Now
the very men who laughed the proposition
to scorn have either adopted some of the
methods originally advocated or have be-
gun to read and study about the possibil-
ities fthe moevment
what It all means can easily be con-
ceived when 1t is stated that 2OO.O0O,OOO OF
gool lands now unproductive and of small
value will soon be added to the actual
agricultural acreage of the western states
through the development of the dry farm
ing movement. Two hundred million acres
will produce foodstuffs and commerce for
number of people you see, and therein
lies the value of the Dry Farming congress.
Congress Not an Experiment.
"The congress is no more an experiment.
The three meetings already held in Denver
Salt Lake City and Cheyenne have demon

and ready to cooperate in great school
through which the various COIL seed, eli
matte and mechanical conditions necessary
to successful operation in unirrigated dis
trscts can be studied and finally organized
into an exact science for the farmer.
'The last meeting of the congress was
attended by the official representatives,
of seven nations. and now there are vice
presidents and secretaries for various Sec
tions of the world where dry farming Is
necessary to final successful farm opera
ton. In the last two months Mexico, Can
ada. Brazil, South African states, Austria
LA, Russia, Argentina and Chill have sent
agents into the western states of America
to study dry farming systems and all have
entered into the Investigations so thor
oughly that they show how widespread
is the belief that the United States has
the most successful dry farmers. And they
are right, for in some of the southwestern
and extreme western sections profitable
crop have been and are being produced
with as low as eight and one-half inches
