GUNS USED BY
MURDERER FOUND
Accused Man Tells Fellow
Prisoner Where They
Are Hid

Aberdeen, July l9:-Revolvers
which are thought to haye been used
by Emil Victor iE the murder Of the
three members of the Christie fam
ilv and Micheal Ronayne. two weeks
ago. have been found and their dis
covery is the strongest link in the
chain which Sheriff Anderson and
States Attorney Van Slyke have
been forging about the man for
fortnight.
The two revolvers, one of them
the one owned by Mr. Christie and
the other a Al caliber gun similar
in size to that with which it is believ-
ed the murder was done, were found
buried mile north of Melette.
They were found in the exact spot
indicated by Victor himself in con-
versation with a fellow prisoner. who
later told the sheriff.
Acting upon the information thus
gained, the authorities from here
made trip in an automobile to the
spot which was indicated by Victor's
words to his fellow prisoner. and
there they dug up the two revolvers
wrapped in handkerchiefs.
The spot where the guns were bur-
led was twenty PAGES distant from
the mile post at the edge of Mellette.
The distance and the direction had
all been planed by the man so that
he could return to the spot and un-
earth the guns should he ever have
occasion to want them,
1t seems to be plain now. AS the
murderer fled from the farm after
the horrible crime had been commit
ted and he had failed to find any
considerable amount of money. he
hastened along the railroad track
southward.
He was bothered by no pursuit.
AS he approached the town he sud-
denly bethought himself of the two
revolvers he carried which would be
incriminating evidence should he
be accosted.
Casting about for some place in
which to hide them, his eyes fell
upon the mile post at the side of the
track. marking a mile from Mellette
station.
Pacing twenty steps from that
landmark he scooped little hole in
the ground, wrapped the guns in
his handkerchiefs and covered them
over with earth and went on his
way. ......

TUESDAY cNCcSSlN6 llcd
brought out a small crowd to
witness good races on the first
day of the Corn Belt Trotting
Circuit meet at Miller. The
new track was fact as a bullet,
and several marks were hung
up.
First event on the card, a
800 trOt. brought out a bunch
of SIX. which Starter Colman
sent away after a couple of
scores. "Felix", of Ft. Dodge,
Iowa, won the first and second
heats. Then Ettelor, a speedy
bay mare from OttoScn, Iowa,
chased out Felix and captured
the money in three straight
heats, going the +th heat in
2::21 II.
The 2:l7 pace contained some
local interest when DR. Sweet
lands Gray Bess and G. f.
Erichsen's, Billy Hal were re-
cognized in the bunch Of six
starters. Charley Corcoran
drove Bess. Mr. Tike, Billy Hal
and DR.. Miller, Wiltamount,
all well known here. They
put up a good race, which went
to Gray Bc5s. The mare is a
very Speady performer, and
was never headed. Wiltamont
of Clark, won second. Billy
Hal was a poor starter, and
could not be got into the race.
The time was 2:17 II. 2:17 II,
2:1S IA.
A 5-S and repeat run brought
five horses to the post, with
the noted girl rider, Dorothy
KenSel, as rider. The first
heat went to Alzona, in 1903
-; Irish Swede took the sec
Ond and third heats in 1903 -.
The little girls mount, Solo,

race.

The Miller Track
MARK HANNA WINS OVER
DOLLY MIX IN SPECIAL

to start III last place next heat.
She and her plucky driver
received an ovation
from the crowd when they
came on for the third heat.
Then there was a"hOss" race.
Pigeon Wing won in 2:21
II amid great applause, and
the next one easily in 2:27.
In this heat Jersey Rye laid up
and trailed, barely missing the
flag. His purpose i'll toe fifth
heat, which he tried to capture
in a hard finish, but Pigeon
Wing beat him to the wire
by a head, to the great plea
sure of the audience. Time
2:2+ II.
The feature of the day, a
special pace between Dolly
Nix, of Miller, and Mark Han
ma, Of Highmore, was not up
to expectations. Mark drew
the pole and the little side
Wheelers went to the quarter
neck and neck in 80 1-2 sec
onds, a 2:1O gate, but that was
all there was to it. Dolly was
unable to head Mark, and he
beat her to the half in 1909 II,
a 2:19 gait, and also beat her
to the mile III 3:27 II, some
ten seconds slower than both
horses paced two years ago.
The next heat was very SINH
lar, except that one break by
Mark gave Dolly the lead for a
short time only. The last heat
was won by Mark in 2:27 81.
Seven restless jumpers caus-
ed Starter Coleman some trOu-
bic in the half mile and repeat
but they finally got away in a
whirlwind race, which was
captured by City Dell, Oakland
second, and Montalk third.
The latter was ridden by Doro-
thy Kensel. Time 81 Il.
The next two heats We're won
by Cannon, but to beat City
Dell in the third heat he had to
go the half in 81.
A half mile dash between
a horse and a speedy pony
finished the day, and furnish
ed an illustration of how fast
the thoroughbreds had gone.
This scrub race was like driv-
in the COWS home in 81 II.
THIRD DAY
The meet closed today with
a moderate attendance and
fine weather.
The first race scheduled was
the 2;2O pace which brought
six horses to the score. jim
mie Wiltshire won in three
straight, Wiltamont second,
Dan Jeffries third and Charley
Mix fourth, all three heats be-
ing between 2:17 and 2:1S.
The 2:2S trot brought out
four horses, Felix winning in
straight heats. Best time
2:24 81.
The three quarter run went
to City Dell in three heats,
Alzona second, Bye Play third.
Time Liz II.
This closed the fastest and
best races ever seen in Miller.
The attendance was not as
good expected, because few
farmers could attend on the
eve of a big harvest.
