Me Kinley deliberately shot Johnson be Jeffer.|cause the latter was unable to pay! him wages due without first com- ing to Rock Springs to check up. Mc- Kinley then fled in the direction of South Pass. Officers who left Lan- der to intercept him have not report- Johnson's body was brot to Rock Springs late today. McKinley had been employed by Johnson & s, also Jénsen Bros., as a herder. Yesterda morning when Johnson visited his camp Mc- Kinley threw up his job and demand- s. Johnson uld how much McKinley had drawn the compzny store here, and als he had no check book with him. Kinley again demanded immediate payment and threatened to kill John- son if it were not made. Johnson, supposing the herder to be bluffing, took the threat good naturedly. Mc- Kinley walked to his tent, a few feet away, secured a rifle, knelt, took de- liberate aim, and sent a bullet thru Johnson’s heart. The killing was wit- nessed by Andrew Coig, a ranch em- ploye. He states that Johnson of- ferred to bring McKinley to town and here settle with him but that Mc- Kinley would not listen to reason. Immediately after the killing Mc- Kinley took four horses and started. down the South Pass road. The sher- iff at Lander was notified of the tragedy, which occurred in Fremont county, and arranged to intercept and arrest McKinley should the murderer, yyhed by a member of the party. continue toward South Pass.

The Syndicate has 500 shares at $100.00 each, of which we agree not to sell more than 300 up to the time this well will be drilled in, and if it becomes necessary to sell more to finance the proposition later, each unit holder will have a chance to buy in proportion to his holdings. The well now drilling is being d-illed by contract and will cost ap- proximately $11,000 when the sandis reached, of which 50 percent is chargeable against the production owned by other parties.
