CRUESOME FIND
REVEALS TRAGIC
DEATH STRUGGLE
ny United Press Leased Wire

BEND, Ore, April PA great
human struggle in the silent noun
tains marked the end of the three
Lava Lake trappers, according to
the story piece together today by
Sheriff Roberts. y
Examination of three bodies, tax
en- from the lake yesterday, where
they had been thrown after the trap
pers were murdered, showed that
shot gun and revolver were used
to kill Ed Nichols and Roy Wilson.
while Dewey Morris was wounded
with u shot gun and beaten to death
with hammer.
Whatever struggle there might
have been, however, was brief, and
authorities still clung to the the
ory that the trappers were lured
from their cabin and attacked from
ambush.
Sheriff Roberts believes the first
two were slain some distance from
the cabin, after having ben lured
out. Morris, he believes, was wound
ed and attempted to escape. Only
hope of solution of the crime now
lies in the search for Charles Kim
sey, alias Lee Collins, escaped Idaho
convict.
Kimsey was employed at the lakes
last summer and was charged with
the theft of property from Nichols,
one of the murdered men.
