MURDER INQUEST CONTINUED
Proceedings viii Be Reopened When,
ever Occasion Necessltates.

Between 2 and 8 o'clock Thursday
afternoon the inquest into the shoot
ing of William Costello, whose body
with three bullet Wounds in the back
of the head was found near the Yer
mont soldiers home crossing Saturday
night, temporarily adjourned subject
to the call of States Attorney Frank
c. Archibald at any time.
There were not many new develop
ments during the day. A number of
persons were brought before Assistant
Judge H. n. Shaw for examination.
1t was not expected that these wit
nesses would be able to give any evi-
dence that would lead to the appre-
hension of the murderer. They were
examined principally for the purpose
of substantiating facts which were al
ready fairly well established.
Not much light has been cast on the
mystery during the past two days.
Without a motive for the crime, the
officers have been unable to make
much headway All of the officials
have worked industriously under the
direction of the states attorney. Every
circumstance that might lead to a clue
has been investigated thoroughly.
Since the inquest took its temporary
adjournment it has been learned that
the victim of the crime was seen on
Depot street after he had left the
home of Victor Young on County
street. He was alone at the time.

CARRAkzA TROOPS
DESERT TO VILLA
At CHIHUAHUA
Bandit Leaders Raid on City Sue
CeSsful, Reports Gen. BelIf
TOOK The GOVERNORS PALACE
Captured Artillery and Supplies and
Released 200 Prisoners from
Penitentiary.

Washington, Sept. 21.-An official
account of Villas raid on Chihuahua
City last Saturday received at the war
department today from Brig. Gen. Bell
at I'll Paso says the bandit chief cap
tured some of Carranza's artillery and
l6 automobile loads of arms and am
munition, liberated 200 prisoners
from the penitentiary and made off af-
ter being joined by from $4,000 to a.
500 soldiers of the Carranza garrison.
According to Gen Bells information
Villa himself went to the governor S
palace and made a speech from the
balcony after his forces had captured
the palace the penitentiary and feder-
al buildings.
The report reveals the fact that on
September IA Villa sent a letter to
Gen. Trevino, commander at Chihua
hua, saying he would be in the city
at 8 p. m. Saturday TO shake hands.
Gen Bell expresses the opinion that
the raid was completely. successful
and that Villa accomplished even more
than he said he would. Treyino's per
sonal guard deserted him it appears
and in the confusion many govern
ment soldiers were killed by theil
own comrades.
Gen. Bells dispatch does not show
the source of his information ant
many officials believe il was founded
on border Iumors. Reports received
previously conflicted as to the par
Villa played not even agreeing that he
was present.

ANOTHER DEAD MAN
FOUND AT MILLS

Judge Foster and Constable Grunig
were called to Mills again Thursday
morning to investigate another corpse
found in the canyons Thursday morn
ing by Messrs. Taylor and Dorman,
two young men who are staying up in
the vicinity of the Mills ranch.
The young men report the body as
having apparently been dead for some
time and 1t is believed to be the body
Of one Clyde Wiggins, who was miss
ing some four or five months ago ana
the mystery surrounding his disap-
pearance has never been solved.
Investigation will be made Of the
affair and If we are to accept the be-
lief Of some people who do not care
to be quoted fearing more tragedies,
there is some developments very near
the surface.
Clyde Virgins was foreman on the
Mills Ranch at the time Of his disap-
pearance and his home was Dallas,
Texas. Many reports were current at
the time some indicated foul play and
others that horses were missing at the
same time. 81
The S-A. received hunch 1t the
time that an investigation would de-
velOp foul play, but it was imprac-
ticable to follow it up.
It is to be hoped the mystery will
be cleared up.
The finding Of the COrinor's Jury was
co the effect that it was the body Of
Clyde Virgins who disappeared last Ju
ly-that he had beed shot as evidenced
by bullet found in the skull and the
body concealed in in an almost inacces-
able spot in the canyons by unhallOwed
hands in the hope that the evidence Of
the crime might be hid and his murder
ers escape the hand Of justice.
