BRUTAL MURDER
BLAINE COUPLE
DEFENCELESS PAIR is SHOT
DOWN AT RANCH HOME
LAST SATURDAY

Mr.. and Mrs. Lidstone of the
Elloam community 81 miles north
Of Chinook, brutally murder
ed late Saturday by an unknown
assailant according to a story in
the Chinook Opinion, which re
constructs the tragedy from evil
dence found on the place. The
bodies were not discovered until
Tuesday morning.
Mr.. Lidstone had been abserved
working in his field Saturday fore
noon the neighbors saw a man on
horseback ride to the Lidstone
place. Lidstone met him at the
gate and they walked toward the
house. Evidently they ~quarreled
for Lidstone was shot down about
a rod from the house, two bullets
going through his thighs and one
through the groin. Mrs. Lidstone
either came to the door or else was
outside and tried to escape into
the house. She tried to barricade
the porch door with a chair and
the murderer shot at her as he
attempted to break in. She lodged
two bullets and fed into the kit
chen, pursued by the maddened
killer. One bullet inflicted a scalp
wound, another hit her ankle and
another shattered a bone in her leg.
She rushed past him, onto the por-
CHI again and there she fell. Two
bullets fired into her chest as she
lay prone finished the woman.
Then the murderer stepped over
her body, went out into the yard
and standing over the, fatally
wounded man, placed his gun at
lis back and fired severing the big
artery at the heart. Splatters of
blood and bloody footprints show
he course taken by the murderer.
Then the slayer left. Neigh
'ors saw him ride away, but thew
lid not know who he was.
Evidently the Lidstones had
zen about to eat an afternoon

lie door of anyone. c
