WAS tIf
MURDERED?
Friends Demand an Inves.
tigatiOn Concerning
Facts of Death

Western Press.
ALBUQUERQUE, Aug. 31.-Little
credit is placed here in the theory
that Solomon Luna, the millionaire
banker, sheep owner and Republican
politician, who was found dead in a
sheep dipping vat at his ranch at
Horse Springs, Socorro county, yes
terday, was murdered.
Several of Luna's friends in Santa
Fe have made demand for an inves-
tigation but facts developed last
night would indicate that the million
aires death was accidental. 1t is be-
lieved that Luan died either from
heart disease or apoplexy being strick-
EN- while getting a. drink of water
from faucet near the dipping vat.
The body was discovered by DR..
Spindler of Albuquerque, who was at
the ranch to superintend the dipping
of Luna's sheep. The corpse was so
badly burned in lime solution in the
vat that it was almost unrecogniZable.
Luna had no known enemies and was
on most friendly terms with every one
Of his employees, whom he always
treated with consideration and kind
ness. Luna had been complaining of
a weak heart for several days, and
for months there had been hardening
of his arteries.
