probable that he will be signed W

Officers investigating the case
found tracks leading away from the
car, made by "A man wearing small
shoe, and short distance from the
scene it was evident that suftease
had been rifled. Further on suit
case was found, containing only some
old clothes and two pairs of shoes.
One pair evidently belonged to the
dead man. He was a cripple, the right
leg being shorter, and the right shoe
had a high heel. The other pair was
badly worn, and evidently belonged
to someone else.
Another touch of mystery was ad-
ded to the case when it was found that
one of the front tires of the car had
beer0 shot with shotgun, although
there was nothing to indicate that the
car had moved after the shot was
fired.
Officers of both counties have been
busy since the body was discovered,
and c. NJ. Compton, district attorney
and two deputies from Portales were
in Clovis looking over the situation
yesterday,
Following a clue picked up by Clo-
Wis police, two men were taken from
stock train at Canyon, Texas, and
held Wednesday. Portales deputies
who went to Canyon late Wednesday
found that the men we're not con-
nected with the case. Both proved
that they had been elsewhere Tuesday
night,
Another clue is being run down to-
day. A man, whose description would
probably fit that of the man accom-
panying Duncan, was seen to board
an east bound fruit train at 2 o'clock
Yesterday afternoon. But the incl
dent was not reported until after the
train had arrived in &marillo, and
chances for catching the man in
question are small.
