sheriff Thomas last night learned
from Mr.. Hardin of the NJ. and C.
garage at Fowler. where Long KEPT
his 1920 Buick. that Long left the ga
rage about $3.50 Monday evening,
alone. and that he had with him a

automobile and the revolver are
gone. as are also the man or men who
Killed Long.
The theory held by the officers in
view of all these facts, is that Long
either picked up come parties who
murdered him ana fed. or that he
was held up somewhere along the
road with the same result. That the
killing was done somewhere in the
lneighborhood of where the body was
found seems evident from 'hc fact
that farmers of tho vicinity stated
that they heard two pistol shots in
that locality about 10 o'clock Monday
night.
Hardin says that Long bought the
Fowler restaurant from g. u. Had
rick for $1,000. and that he had men
toned having relatives at Niueta.
