r. w. Fox of Elder informs
us that in the Campo-Edler brass
band now organizing there will
be three band leaders. half a
dozen good players with pieces,
and about a dozen others who
are going to join the band and
take lessons. They expect to
meet once or twice a week to
practice, and believe by the end
of the summer they will be able
to play creditably on any kind Of
an occasion. Here's hoping foi
one good brass band in Baca

The Famous
|Riner Murder Trial
We last week deferred all COM
, ment on and the particulars of
the Riner trial in order that what
might be said might be weighed
in the light of the evidence with.
out any hasty conclusions.
There isn't any questioning
the fact that the people
of the county who are ac-
auainted with the case-in con-
siderable numbers on each side,
hold Numerically opposite views
as to the justification of the kill
ing; and the extremes of these
two camps are radical in the ex-
preston Of their views.
Regardless of what anybody
thinks, however, the evidence
pro and con should be the deter
mining factor in the solution of
the problem as to the nature of the
killing and the degree of the
crime, in the consideration of
which both sympathy and ami
mostly should be laid aside for
the simple and plain facts in the
case.
The direct cause of the killing
was the quarrel between Riner
and Hargis over the latter's cat
tie destroying the formers
lcrops. Some of the cattle hav-
ing been shot by Riner, he was
ARRESTED and placed under 81, 900
peace bonds.
The cattle however continued
to molest him, and the bad blood
between them was thus aggra-
vated to the point of each maxi
ing threats of killing the other,
with apparently either ready to
make use of any opportunity Of
|fored-according to the evidence
on one side or the other.
At one time, according to the
defense, Hargis and his cousin
Thompson rode up to a wagon in
which they supposed Riner to be,
having guns with them, but
when they found it was Riner's
brother they turned around and
rode back.
| Accor ding to the evidence on
both sides, on the morning of the
day of the killing, Riner shot at
one Of Hargis' men, who had
cone into his field to get a coup
lie of Hargis' cattle. Riner claims
he shot away off to one side to
scare him away, the man claimed
the bullet struck the ground
near his horse.
At the time Of the shooting,
according to the evidence, Ri
ner was riding south-going to
lSutton's to get him to help thresh
his wheat. He had his rifle
with him-always carried it now
ready for emergencies.
From the south he saw two
horsebackmen coming, and
thought one of them might be
Sutton.
At certain distance he recog-
nized Sutton, but not Hargis-
who was the other man. He
there turned off the road-to the
left, on Hargis' side, and when
about sixty yards from them got
off his horse and laid bis gun a.
cross his saddle, but took it down
and continued to walk south.
According to the evidence on
both sides, Sutton and Hargis
continued, without stoppage, to
ride north on the road-Sutton
Ia little ways in the lead. AS Ri
|ner was walking south-off north
east of them, it brought them
nearer together, until about
twenty feet apart.
At this time Riner says Hargis
reached under his left arm for
his gun, and he called out-"JUe,
get away from that" Joe then
took his hand away. but in a
