Greeley, Colo.-A coroner's jury
which returned three verdicts as the
result of the deaths Of Robert M. Stan
ley, ,2S, his wife, Charlotte, 20, and his
sen, Benton, 6, declared that Stanley
IVES guilty Of killing his wife first, his
sen next and then taking his own life.
Judging from the position in which
the bodies were found, the little boy
had leaned forward to see what had
occurred when his mother fell dead
With bullet hole through her head,
and was begging his father not to
shoot again when Stanley took delib-
through the back of the boys head.
The boy was partially dressed and fell
forward beside his mothers body, hold
ing In one hand the stocking which he
was about to put on.
Stanley then knelt few feet away
from the bodies of his wife and son
and ended his own life, using the same
weapon, sending a bullet through his
lead.
Constant quarreling between the
couple. combined with jealousy which
famed up at dance in New Raymer.
which they both attended the night be-
fore, are believed to have been the
motive which caused the tragedy.
II am not surprised at the news,
Stanley said when told Of his broth
cr's deed. my brother and his wife
never did get along very we'll. She
was woman that likedsa good time
and her actions had made heavy
drinker of my brother. I'm sorry that
srch thing had to be, but perhaps it
is for the best"
Stanley denied that financial diff
oulties were the cause of the tragedy.
as he said his brother had been well
cared for in the will Of his father, Le
Roy Stanley, wealthy stock grower,
feeder and property owner of Tilden,
Neb., where Stanley was raised and
where he met his wife.
In March, 1913, he received several
thousand dollars from the sale of
property of his fathers estate. which
nj the time of his fathers death five
years ago, amounted to 100000. Al
together Stanley had received 100000
slnce the death Of the elder Stanley.

Hike THE SALARIES
COUNTY OFFICERs PROFIT BY
PROPOSED STATE Law.
salary Regulated BY the Population
WouId Boost An Except Three
Officers In DickinsOn--
win Probably Pass.

The proposed law regulating the
salary Of county officials BY the
population OF the counties which has
been reported from the legislative
committee for action BY the state
Legislature is received with enthus-
iasm at the court house In Dickin-
son.
Only three officers in the court
house have been forgotten In the
generosity OF the committee and all
che orhers will get substantial
raise. Dickinson comes in the class
of counties ranging between $4,000
and 30,O00-having population OF
25.4OO. In this class the sheriff
is allowed a salary Of $3.50 per
year and foreign fees whereas the
present salary is $4,000 with foreign
fees. The clerk Of the district court
gets $3.50 now while the new law
will boost him to s1700. The pro-
bate Judge has been on fees In
Dickinson county and has been aver
aging around $500 for the last few
years while the new law would give
him a little present Of $500 more
than $500. The county commission
ers have been averaging about $3.50
each per year while the new law
allows them $500. The register OF
deeds Is allowed the first $1,000
taken IN in fees now and half the
fees above $1,000. The office has
been averaging about $1,000 while
the proposed law will boost him to
$1,000. The county superintendent
gets $14OO now and 81 for each
school visited in the county which
gives him a salary of about $500
per year while the new law will
give him a salary Of about 1850
THE county clerk and county treas
Iurer now receive $500 and the pro
posed law leaves their salary at thai
figure. The county attorneys sal
airy is not changed from the $500
now paid. The county assessor viii
receive his present salary of 5000
The deputy sheriff has his salary
fixed at the present rate of $500
while the deputy county clerk ma!
be raised from 5000 to $1,000. Thu
new law also creates new deput!
at salary of 5000 in the office
of the probate judge. This office
has not been provided with deput!
before. Under the new law prac
tically all the fees will be turned
into the county.
The salary of the officers 'canno
be changed during the present tern
of office but 1t will create a great
err enthusiasm for office in Dickin
son county at the next election. Th'
bill is a party measure and will
probably become a law.
