MURDER IS DONE
BEFORE DAWN IN
LONE FARMHOUSE
Man Who Drove Wife and
Children From House in
Evening Is Killed
During Night

IRVINGTON, July 16.--John L. de
Vale, rancher near here. was found
dead in bed at II o'clock this morning
with bullet wound in his head, and
the authorities believe he was mur-
dered.
There was revolver lying on the
floor near by. but it was an old weapon
and apparently had not been fired for
years. Further proof that De Vale
was not killed with this revolver was
found in the fact that the bullet taken
from his head was of a different caliber
than the gun.
According to friends OF the family
De Vale quarreled last evening with
his wife, Mary de Nalle and elected
her and the three children from the
house. They went to the ranch of Jo-
seph Peters and spent the night Mrs
de Vale was interviewed. this afternoon
by Bert Brown and George Walos, dep
uties from the sheriffs Office
De Vale was sued for divorce by his
wife June IL of this year. She al
legged that her husband was cruel and
that he was often intoxicated. She
asked for the custody of the children
Manuel. IA years old; Mary, 13 years
old, and Filomena, IL years of age.
She also wanted $40 month alimony.
They were married September %. 1897
After the divorce was filed recon
ciliation was effected and the couple
had been living together until last
night, when the woman was elected
from the house.
De Vale was the owner OF the Mile
ranch, close to. this town. He was well
known throughout this part of the
county, having lived here for Is years.
The shot which ended his life was
fired at 4 o'clock this morning, as
neighbors heard the report of a re-
volver at that time An investigation
was made. but nothing was discovered
and the body was not found until nearly
noon today
Deputy Coroner n. Quentin Of Ir-
vington took charge Of the body. A
thorough investigation will be made by
Sheriff Frank Barnet. who sent depu-
ties to the scene.,
