ey. Louis Alejo, a Mexican, was
found dead along the Frisco tracks
at 4.3G o'clock Saturday afternoon
The body was found by John j.

Colyers. Coroner w. f. Root was
notified and he empanoled a Jury
and held an inquest late Saturday

dered.
According to the story related to
the Jury the Mexican had left Sa-
nulpa about noon walking to Ok

city he was overtakeu by the negro
and white man who are believed
to he travelling together They
walked about four miles west of
here when Colyers, Wilmoth and Toss,
who were about mile behind them
heard a pistol shot
Officers were given a description
Of the two men and are scouting
the vicinity An examination made
Of the body shows that the bullet
entered the left breast and ranged
downward, passing sQuarely through
the heart. Because the bullet took
the downward angle the supposition
is advanced that the party who fired
the snot was on the embankment
above the Mexican.
That robbery was the motive OF
the crime there is no doubt \

carrying was found by the body and
it had been opened and searched
Information received from Tulsa
