fray through the visit of Newton

Joe Yragui, a brother of Boni-

prised of the killing and as soon
as he became cognizant of the dis
position of the body he went to
the Stanley ranch where he took
possession of the remains, loaded
the corpse into his automobile and
started for Winnemucca. En- route
here he met up with Sheriff Brady's
party bound for the scene of the
killing and the county physician left
the sheriff's party and returned to
town with the quick and the dead,
and held an autopsy.
