heart had caused the death. until the
coroner had madosn close examina-
tion of the body. Then the wound,
almost impereeptibie was discover
ed The bullet passed through the
victims heart and lodged in 'fiis back.
Death Wound from Revolver.
The bullet was fired from a twen-
ty-two calibre revolver, which was
later found on the floor of the cabin,
near where Hayes had fallen. The
gun was one formerly owned by w.
". Aupperle. who had loaned il to
Mrs. Hayes. when she went TO the
lonely homestead, and who wished 1t
to protect herself in case of trouble.
An investigation showed that a
bullet had been fired through the
windows of the cabin, but neighbors
say that this incident had occurred
q year ago. while the Hayes were
away on a visit.
There are facts to support both a
murder. suicide. and also an accident
theory. Since taking up his home
stead, Mr.. Hayes has had trouble
with one or two Hannah Creek peo-
pie over his land and water rights.
although ranchers say this difficulty
was not sufficient to cause any
shooting. Hayes may have surpris-
ed someone in his cabin when he
reached there and the stranger. fear
ing arrest might have grabbed the
gun which was on a shelf in the kit
chen, and shot before Hayes could
defend himself
The daily sentinel., 1913-12-01
Suicide Theory.


The general character of Hayes
and his CHEEKY manner and absolute
loss of motive, seem to preclude the
theory of suicide. Hayes but short
time ago had successfully traded his
ranch fer property near town, and
had been much pleased with his deal.
He and his wife were absolutely de-
voted to each other, and there is no
hint of domestic trouble. Hayes had
made a small loan, which had been
recently renewed so that he had no
financial difficulties, while only Sat
urday he had received a letter at
Whitewater. while on his way to his
ranch, in which the insurance COM
pany where he had policy had
granted him loan even greater than
he had requested.
On the other hand in support of
the suicide theory is the nature of
the wound which caused his death.
The bullet was fired at close range
and charred the vest worn by Hayes
But it did not go through his outside
coat, apparently indicating that
Hayes had held the gun close to his
heart before firing.
The accident theory also has facts
to support it, 1t is quite possible
that Hayes picked the gun up after
entering the cabin. and may have
been preparing to place IL in an in
side pocket of his coat when the trig-
ger caught. and caused the discharge.
This would also account for the fact
that the bullet did not pass through
Hayes outer coat.

Born in India.
John Hayes came to Mesa county
six years ago with his wife. He was
born "a years ago in India, the son
of British army officer. He was
educated in Franco and spent prac-
tically all his life. while in Mesa
county, in teaching school. He had
taught two terms at Purdy Mesa
school-which is located near his
ranch. and one term In Uuaweep and
at Clifton. the first year he lived in
the county.
Hayes was man of unusually
cheerful disposition. had legion of
friends, and had a splendid influence
on the pupils of the schools where he
taught.
His wife, who survives him, is in
n state of complete collapse at the
home OF her sister, Mrs. W. II. Aup-
perle. She has only been informed of
the death, and not of the nature of
it, and relatives fear that she will
not survive the shock, when she
learns the truth, as she is very frail.
No arrangements for the funeral
will be made until after the inquest.
Coroner Yunker announced late
this afternoon that the inquest over
the body of John Hayes would be
held at IL o'clock tomorrow MORN
ing at the court house.

A Previous Mystery.

A Previous Mystery.
The death is the most mysterious
with which Coroner Yunker has had
to deal. In the eyes of Hannah
Creek ranchers more mystery is ad-
ded by reason OF the murder in the
same locality about a year ago of DR..
lleber. He was also found in his
cabin and the cause Of his death has
never been discovered.
Relatives of Mr., Hayes are posi-
tive that he did mt commit suicide.
Some of them incline to the murder
theory-others believe 1t an accident
but all insist that rigid investiga-
tion be made of the death. Coroner
Yunker notified Sheriff Schrader of
the death last night, and the latter
will make a rigid investigation.
The time of the inquest has not
been fixed as yet. THE death will be
investigated by a coroner's jury"
said Coroner Yunker today, "but |
want more evidence before ! begin
the inquest. The death is most mys-
terious, but whether murder. suicide
or accident, IL is impossible to say.
IF Hayes were murdered. it was
not for the purpose of robbery. His
watch and his money were not dis
turbed. Neither were there any evil
denees of a struggle in the cabin
The appearance of the body indicated
that death was instantaneous. If
Hayes was murdered. his slayer gave
him no time to make an cutlery. or
to struggle. The revolver was press
ed close to his heart, when the trig-
ger was pulled, and Hayes fell face
downward, without a death strug-

ed Henry w. Larson, creamery ex-

Dairy Division in charge OF demon

Mr.. Larson will first OF all study
the creamery situation in Vermont
and will be willing to give assistance
in matters pertaining to creamery
operation and butter making to cream
cries desiring such assistance. Ulu-
mately he plans to conduct demon
STATIONS in few creameries in the
state with view to improving the
quality of the product and to stopping
leaks and losses so that the largest
possible over-run may be secured. Mr.

TO start Mr.. Larson in his work, says
that in his opinion, which is based on
reports received from Vermont cream
cries. an over-run of per cent larg-
er than is now being secured may be
easily obtained. This would mean
that creameries would be able to pay

additional over-run could be secured.
