ating considerable interest since the
Stokley brother were fromerly resi-.

the affair which occurred on Cana.

been anxiously sought, the particulars
being rather meagre:
Friends of both brothers state that
there was no trouble between the two
brothers because of Fred Stockley IS
div.rced wife living with the parents
Of the brothers, bus that the whole af-
fair arose over financial affairs. It
seems tina! the brothers hal placed
their mon, in one common :11,l with
which to buy stock, and the first bad
blood between the 5oys was caused
ever the settlement. 1t is said that
Fred took several horses, machinery,

other Stockley's were away, taking
more than his share. This was passed
up however, but later on Fred came
back for several cows, and took them
to his homestead. Ed went after them
later and put them in the pasture al
home. On the day of the shooting Ell
and Sam Stokley We're working at tht
barn when they saw Fred in the pas
ture supposedly getting ready to drive
some of the cattle out. Fred had rifle
with him and knowing that he had on
several occasions threatened to shoot
him, Ed went into the house and got
his gun He stood at the gate where
he thought Fred would bring the cattle
out. Hot words were exchanged and
in the quarrel Fred said he would
shoot Ed "right now". Ed then raised
his rife and fred wounding his broth

Fred was reaching for his automatic
revolver which he was known to car
ry Ed again shot killing him.
The sad affair with its awful ending
has cast gloom over the friends Of
the Stokely brothers who were well
liked in the vicinity in which they had
homesteads.
