TRUE NAME OF MAN
 SHOT IN QUARREL
 REVEALED IN DEATH

Was the man who was shot by H. B. Miner on Turner ranch near Glendale Friday evening John Will Hams as he called himself or was he J. W. Radcliffe of West Virginia?
 Why was he known by the name of Williams when tatooed on his left arm is U w. Radcliffe, Winston, w. Va?
 Why were the tatooed words con- cealed by adhesive plaster, removed only after his death?
 On his death bed did he state that he had no relatives in order that his secret might die with him?
 These were the thoughts that crept into the minds of those who were present at the inquest held over the man of mystery in Justice Wheeler's court yesterday There was not a word of evidence tending to identify Williams or Radcliffe. He was mere ly a farm hand who met his death by gun shot wounds inflicted by H. B. Miner, according to the Jury :. verdict. In the meantime Miner is being held i'll the county jail. It is | understood that the county attorney office will issue a complaint against him Monday, charging murder. 1 Miner made no attempt to leave the ranch after the shooting, even talking over the affair with the neighDors who came to the assistance of the wounded. man. H. N. Edwards testi- | fled that Miner admitted that he shot Williams" saying that he com mitted the deed in lf-defense.
