slugged by two soldiers about six
weeks ago, passed away at his home
in Chapman Tuesday morning.
Mr.. Isler was operating a jitney in
junction City and one evening two
soldiers, one a corporal and the
other a private. hired Isler to drive
them to White City.
When they were a short distance
from Junction City, the soldiers at
tackled Isler, slugging him and rem
dering him unconscious. They tied
his hands and feet, gagged him and
then threw him in a ditch by the
road. The two soldiers took the car
and started across the country. A
telephone call was received in Abb
lene warning officials to be on the
lookout A similar message was
sent to all nearby towns.
Mr.. Isler was given treatment, and
seemed to be on the road to recov-
cry at the time of the trial. Several
weeks ago his condition commenced
to fail and for the past few days he
was unconscious. He passed away
early Wednesday morning. The fun
eral services will be held from the
Lutheran church at Chapman We'd
nesday afternoon at 2:3O.
Murder Charge Now.
AS Isler died from the wounds re-
ceived when he was slugged, a MUIR
der charge can be brought against
the soldiers now. The ten year SEN
tence will not be revoked but a trial
IAN be held and the men sent up for
irst degree murder.
The soldiers claim, however. that
hey were intoxicated at the time of
he slugging and that they did not
'ealize what they were doing. There
Gems to be doubt that the men
we're drunk because several bottles
4 whiskey were found on them when
rrested. The case will probably
est for the present.

COCHRAN HELD in
RENO FOR MURDER

Harry Il. Cochran, who is alleged to
have shot and killed L. E. Feight, pro-
prietor of the Forty-nine Mile resort,
near Bald Mountain, was taken to
Reno Tuesday evening and is now
held there under $4,000 bail.
Cochran's home is in this city and
he is well known throughout the
state. He attended the university in
Reno in 1908 and 1909
Details of the murder are to the
effect that Cochran was passing
through the Forty-nine Mile station
when his automobile broke down and
he was forced to remain there for sew
eral days while it was being repaired.
Feight had conducted the saloon in
which he was killed for some time
and an effort to have his liquor Ii
cense evoked was made few months
ago because he was Said to have al
lowed his fifteen-year-old daughter
to tend bar in the saloon.
On the night of the murder, it is
said, Feight was very much under the
influence of liquor. 1t appears that
Cochran and young woman employe
of Feights, named Alice c. Morgan,
were eating dinner in the kitchen OF
the resort, Feight being out of the
room at the time.
II is said that Feight came into the
kitchen. became angry. used threaten
ing language to the girl, and left the
room. He returned immediated with
a shotgun, loaded in both barrels.
Miss Morgan saw Feight as he entered
the room with the shotgun and started
to run, and Feight is said to have fol-
lowed her. whereupon Cochran told
the other man to put the gun down
and not modest the girl.
Feight wheeled sharply around and
brought his gun TO bear on Cochran,
who drew his revolver and fired six
shots at Feight, five of them with eff
feet, before Feight could press the
trigger Feight was shot through the
right arm and four times in the body.
Following the shooting, Cochran gave
himself up to the authorities.
Just why Feight started to make
trouble with the girl has not been
disclosed. but jealousy is believed to
have had something to do with it. He
had long had the reputation of being
a very violent man when in liquor.

PACIFIC
is DISSATISFIED

The Western Pacific will ask the
government for a special contract
during the period it is under federal
operation and will not be satisfied
with the arrangement offered the
other carriers and by which Uncle
Sam guarantees them a profit equal
to at least the average profits of the
roads during the fiscal years 1915,
1916 and 1917.
President c. NJ. Levey of the West
ern Pacific has said, according to the
San Francisco Chronicle, that such an
arrangement would not be fair to his
company because of the financial or
deal it has undergone in recent years
and that ii would ask Director-Gen-
eral McAdoo for better terms.
Leyey pointed out that it has been
only in the last two years that the
Western Pacific has begun to show an
increase in earning capacity in line
with its mileage and it's fight for
transcontinental business. Since the
road has been operating, he said, it
has put all possible earnings into the
construction of feeders, such as the
Reno branch, needed to build up the
main line This cut down the show.
ing of earnings, he said. apd would
entitle the Western Pacific TO very
poor financial return from the govern
nent if McAdoo should compel the
Western Pacific to accept the com
pensation offered the railroads as a
whole.
