Details of TRAGEDY, surrounded

that he had killed an unknown man,
gave himself up to the Officers and
told the story of the tragedy.
Mr.. Hockey stated that last night
at an early hour a young man, a
stranger to him, rode up to his home
on a horse and asked If he could re-
main all night. Mr.. Hockey told
him that he could. The young man
put his horse up in the barn and
came into the house for supper.
About bed time the young man re-
marked to Mr.. Hockey that he was
not well and If Mr.. Hockey did not
object he would sleep in the barn as
he might have to be up in the night
or become restless and he did not

Mr.. Hockey sadd!ed horse and

about daylight and aroused the
sheriff.
The sheriff and coroner left for
the scene of The tragedy about noon.
They viii not return TO Delta until
late this afternoon.
HecEey and his Wife are both over
60 years of age and have resided in
the county for many years They
are highly respected. They live alone
on the Doughspoon ranch. Mr.
Heckey's story of the tragedy is gen
orally accepted as true in Delta.
Hockey states that he never saw
the man he killed until last night
and other residents of that section
who viewed the body last night or
this morning state that he is strang-
er to them. 1t Is believed that the
man heard that Hickey had very
valuable horse and decided to steal
him. II is possible that the horse
the stranger was riding was a stolen
animal and efforts are going to be
made to ascertain to whom this ami
