BOY KILLS sTEPFATHER.
Defends His Mother from Attack by
infuriated Man and Shoots To
Kill. ,-~-xarETMs-

PHOENIX, May 30-James p Ok
ley, high school student, shot and
killed his step-father, William K.
Meadors, with a Savage autom attic
pistol this evening on Meadors' ranch.
five miles northwest of Phoenix.
Immediately following the shooting
the young man sent for a doctor and
when he found that his step-father
was dead, he voluntarily surrendered
himself to the custody of the physi-
clan and on returning to town was
charge of murder.
The shooting occurred as a result
of an alteration over the farm equip
ment, the young man interfering on
behalf of his mother, who was being
cursed and abused by his step-father.
Turning from the woman, Meadors
cursed the boy and made a pass to-
wards his pocket and the boy shot.
The bullet passed through Meadors'
left wrist and through the center Of
his breast bone and out between the
shoulder blade bones, and the man,
who was physical giant, crumpled
up and fell like a wet sheet.
Meadors' conduct toward his wife
and children, by her former husband,
has been such, it is said, as to prac-
tically drive them all from home.
The young man has lived in daily
fear if his step-father.
The dead man was formerly car
penter of Miami, where he met the
widow, Mrs. Meadors, who was for
merly a hotel and restaurant keeper
at Miami, Tucson and Phoenix
Justifiable homicide will be the de-
tense.

ANOTHER MURDER MYSTERY.
Miner Who Made Money Gambling is
Beaten to Death With Plane.

GLOBE, June IA murder mys-
terry more battling than any that has
confronted the local authorities for
some time developed at Black War
rior camp yesterday when J. G. Haw-
thorn was beaten to death In his
room in the bunk house by an enemy
who welded a carpenters plane with
maniacal fury.
E. D. Hart, the dead mans room
mate, is being held in the county jail
here for examination as a witness in
connection with the crime.
Hawthorne was murdered between
10 o'clock in the morning and 1
O'Clock in the afternoon. His wounds
were discovered by Hart shortly after
o'clock, several hours before the
mans death. Hawthorne, however, was
in a semi-conscious condition at the
time and was unable to a make state
ment before he died.
Hart went to work at the Warrior
yesterday morning, leaving his room
mate in the bunk house. Hawthorn
had been laid off about two weeks
previous and, it is reported, spent
much of his time gambling. That he
had good luck was indicated by the
fact that on April 27 he deposited
$115 in the Bank of Miami, on May
26 he placed $2S5 on deposit and on
May 27 added SIS to his savings. OF
this sum he withdrew $115.
After working half day Hart quit
his job and returned to the bunk
house. He gave various reasons for
leaving his work, according to the au-
thorities. When he reached the bunk
house he said he tried to unlock the
door of the room occupied by himself
and Hawthorn, but could not do so.
Then he looked through the keyhole
and saw a bloody foot on the pillow
of his bed, he said. Without saying
to anyone, he went outside
and entered the room through a win
dow. There he found Hawthorne dy
ing.
A peculiar circumstance in the case
is the fact that the plane with which
the man was slain was replaced in a
tool chest after the attack was made.

Artesia, N. M, June 2-Another
day has passed and still there is no
clue to the whereabouts of Charles
A. Dinsmore, the oil operator and
editor, who disappeared from Roswell
on May 19. The country in this vi
cinity and around Roswell has been
thoroughly gone over by searching
parties without revealing the slight
est trace of the man or the machine
in which he rode away. The belief
grows that the missing man has met
with foul play. This is the theory of
his friends, who are legion here, but
there are others who incline to the
belief that Dinsmore has left the
country for reasons best known to
himself
Mysterious Tall Slim Young Man.
1t has been learned that Dinsmore,
accompanied by tall slim young
man, visited a Roswell hardware es-
tablishment at noon on Wednesday,
May 20, where they purchased a
small water tank for the automobile.
This was the last seen of either
man, and no one has been found who
knows the name of the tall slim
young man, or who ever saw him
before.
A report from Albuquerque that
DlpSmOre mad registered at the
Combs hotel at that place proved,
upon investigation, to be without
foundation.
Description of the Ford Car.
When he left here Dinsmore was
driving a Ford four passenger tour
ing car, model of 1913. The car car
ried the image of a camel on the top
of the radiator, also four new Fire
stone castings and small, nat tank
with a capacity of about IL gal
Ions. The engine number of the
car is 290,540, the dash number 271,-
215, and the New Mexico license
number "27O-N. MA" on
green plate carried on the rear of
the car. Dinsmore had with him
a travelling bag and also a bag con-
tanning some instruments he used in
oil prospecting.

PHOENIX, Ariz., June 2.-Attorney
General Bullard has refused to have
anything to do with Mulford WinSor's
protest against the patenting of
lands which were taken up with Mo
qui and Navajo bases. Bullard
takes the position that the settlers
are boni fide purchasers of the script
and that even if the Santa Fe sur
rendered lands not equal in value to
those for which they were exchanged.
the settlers are profiting by it and
most of them would have taken up
the lands under the desert or home
stead acts so the government could
not possibly de defrauded.
Those whose patents have been
held up say that if Winsor as chair
man of the state land commission
had devoted his time to selecting the
state lands instead of trying to gov
ern the state, he would not have
to protest against valid locations by
settlers in order to find suitable lands
on which to make locations for the
state.
Tucson Attorney Will Be Present.
John B. Wright left Tucson last
night to represent a number of local
settlers and cattlemen at the hearing
before the Secretary of the Interior
on the protest of Mulford Winsor,
chairman of the state land commits
sion against the patenting of their
lands. There are 78 entrymen in
Pima county who are effected by the
protest and who will lose their lands
if Winsors contention is upheld.
Many Pima county entrymen who
could not employ an attorney have
written Senator Marcus A. Smith,
asking him to represent them at the
hearing. Senator Smith has replied
that he will do so and considers the
action of Winsor inadvised. He says
that the bona fide settler should not
be made to suffer and that he is in
favor of being very liberal with the
man who in good faith takes up the
public domain with the purpose of de-
it and making his home on
it.
