TRULY GANG
WHATOTHfRPAPERSHAv[
TO SAY OF THIS GANG
OF SANITY MORTALS
TRuBYs ESCAPE POSSE.

Word was sent to Sheriff Dufur on
Monday that the TRULY boys were in
the neighborhood of Hart canon, and
the sheriff at once organized a posse
of six nervy men, consisting of Boone
Vaughan, Arch Mccoy, Herman Rath-
jen, Linn Blancett, Dave McGee, and
Harry McWilliams. This posse trail
ed the Trubys, who were travelling in
surrey, with two saddle horses be-
hind. The trail led to Blanco and up
the Canon Largo. Just before dusk
one of the Trubys was seen riding
toward the river after a loose horse,
but when he saw the posse he rode
rapidly up Canon Largo. The posse
followed and got to the place where
the Truby camp was made. But the
Trubys had fled, leaving everything
behind. From behind rocks in the
high sandstone cliffs the Trubys fired
on the posse, but fortunately hit no
ore. Under orders from Sheriff Du-
fur no return of the fire was made.
All night the posse lay at the camp
and farther up the canon, but no trace
was seen of the fugitives. Taking
the two horses, the saddles, the camp
equipment, the posse brought it all to
Aztec. Sam TRULY is wanted here
for the murder of sheep herder on
Pennington glade about three years
~ L.I e
who are said to be John and Dave,
are now wanted for firing on the
posse.
1t will be good thing if the coun-
try is rid of the Trubys, for they
will surely get hurt and may hurt
someone else if they are at large here.
1t is supposed that the Trubys have
made their way to the Rucker ranch,
where it is said they will receive pro-
lection and aid.
The story in Thursdays Durango
Democrat that Sheriff Dufur was ac-
companied by Ike Cox, Wash Graves,
Jim Taylor and other Cox relatives, is
n mistake and does Ike Cox and his
friends an injustice. Ike Cox was in
Aztec last Saturday but left Monday
for Pagosa Springs. Let the truth
be known. After what has passed
it is no wonder that the Trubys see
Ike Cox in their imagination.
Yesterday Sam Truby entered suit
against the Durango Herald for $10,-
600 damages for libel, in printing that
a warrant was out against Sam down
in San Juan county, New Mexico, for
murder. Graciousness, if simple
statement like that damages Sans
reputation $4,000 worth, we wonder
what he will think it worth when we
state that Sheriff Dufur of Aztec has
two warrants against him for cattle
stealing. And furthermore Sheriff
Dufur will arrest him on sight for
the sheepherder murder, and will
3. doubtless have him indicted for his
crime at the coming term of district
h. court. If Sam is not otherwise en-
gagged at this latter mentioned time,
> his presence will be requested down
here by the requisition route, so we
ARE told.
1t is justice that should be meted
,out in this and every other case. If
the Trubys' conscience leads them 10
see Ike Cox in every shadow, who
can wonder? Attempts to work up
sentiment for Trubys on lies should
fail. Let them have fair trial

To say that Sam Truby is wanted
IN New Mexico for the murder of

cause it is true. To say that no pa

would not be libel but it would be

BOY KILLS HIS PARENTS.
Indiana Youth Murders Father, Moth
er and Brother BY Blows With
Axe.
Western Press.


BOONVILLE, Ind, Aug. 26.-Wil-
liam Lee, III years old, the Oldest son
of Richard Lee, who together with his
wife Emily and their 16-year-old son
were found murdered in the ruins of
their burning house Wednesday night,
has confessed to the killing of his
father.
Young Lee made his confession to
Sheriff Scales. Lee, according to his
confession, arrived home late We'd
nesday night, from visit to his
fiancee at Newburgh and was met by
his father, who Lee claims waved an
AK in the air and with curse shout
ed, ~ will kill you, too" Selling
the axe from his fathers grasp Will
liam declares he slashed his father
over the head, killing him instantly.
Rushing into the adjoining rooms, Lee
asserts he discovered his father had
already killed Mrs. Lee and his young
er brother and had soaked the bed
clothing with kerosene preparatory to
setting the house on fire. Filled with
anger and excitement William declar-
ed he, himself, carried out the plan
of his father by touching a match to
the bed clothing.
Lees confession is not believed and
the feeling against him is so intense
that the sheriff has rushed Lee out
of town in an automobile and lodged
him in Jail at Evanston to await the
grand jury's action.
