took place Monday night near Devils
Greek some so miles south of this
city in which Jesse Hayes, an un-

oner were called to the scene and
returned Tuesday evening accom-
panied by Mr.. Gray, who will be CIV
en- a preliminary hearing the latter
part of the week.
The coroner's jury returned a ver-
dict charging manslaughter. The evil
dence showed that Hayes and several
other men employed at the ranch
had received some strong drink from
q party Of bootleggers who passed
through the ranch in the morning.
Toward evening Hayes became quar-
relsome and going to the tent about
/ o'clock where Gray was reclining,
drew a gun and flourished it threat
eningly. Gray ordered his men tc
take Hayes away that he would talk
to him in the morning when Hayes
was sober. Gray then retired with
his secretary, S. d. Phillips.
About half an hour later Hayes
came to the tent which he opened
and menacingly approached the bunk
from which Gray, In self defense,
fired the shot, striking Hayes near
the heart and resulting In death an
hour later. Gray Is president of the
Three creek ranch which he recently
purchased and had cared for Hayes
who was an orphan, with the kind
ness of q father. The body of Hayes
was taken to Bruneau and will be
buried beside his parents. States.
