Aug. 9. (Special to the ‘Tribune).—That Claude Henderson met death from gunshot wounds at the hands of per- sons unknown, was the finding of the coroner's jury which ended its inquest into the killing of Hender- son at noon today. Sheriff Hazen made the statement tonight that “County Commissioner Gwynn did not kill Henderson, His fight was with another member: of the party of bighjackers which last Tuesday night attacked hia home in order to gain possession of confiscat- ed liquor that was being held there.” Several hours after the arrest this morning of P. A. Tucker, county authorities picked up Ralph Kelly on the charge of operating a still. It was the Kelly ranch that was raid- ed last Monday by Gwynn and his aldes.who took their find of 225 gal: lons of liquor and moonshine making equipment to the Gwynn place. Suspicion has attached itself to a score. of men reputed to be boot- leggers. Further arrests are hourly expected as county, state and fed- eral men prosecute thelr investiga- tion of the “Gwynn battle.” General presumption. !s that Coro- ner H. P. Knight and his assistants have collected much information which is being kept’ secret pending further developments. At the call of Arthur Gwynn, county commissioner who has been on the ‘outs with the sheriff, a mass meeting was held this evening at the Community church in protest of alleged numerous lHquor law vio- lations here. Gwynn presided be- fore @ large crowd. . it was a hectic affair seemingly lacking in definite purpose. The first move was to get the gathering behind a demand for the resignation of Sheriff Scott Hazen, This failed and the meting fell into aimless dis- cussion. Before dispersing the house finally passed a resolution for the appointment of a commit- tee to back the sheriff in rigid en- forcement of the law. The entire wek has been a boiling turmoil in this town. From one thing to another, events have sprung up, leading on to more mystery and greater agitation. In chronological order up to the time of the attack on the Gwynn homestead, mixups came ike th's: Monday afternoon County Commis- sioner Gwynn swore out a warrant for the search of the Watson ranch and the seizure of a still and Nquor alleged to be on the premises. He went to the sheriff's office und a&ked for a man tobe sent with him. ‘This was not done, Undersheriff McFer. lane stating that Mr. Gwynn refused to turn the warrant over to the sher- ift's Offfee and that under the cir- cumstances, by direction of his chief, he refused to take part in the search. State~law enforcement 6f- ficers who were here at the time say they were not notified of the intended search. One of the out- standing facts back of the whole episode seems to a bitter factional fight between the county commis- sioner’ “représented by Mr. Gwynn on one side and the sheriff's office on the other, the state enforcement officers working with the sheriff in thelr efforts at suppressing the liquor traffic. Mr. Gwynn, accompanied by Con- stable Fred Hale, H. A. Robinson, who is still holding.an appointment as deputy sheriff, although under bonds on a ‘ge of bribery, A. B. York and W. K. Maret went to the ranch and discovered one of the largest and mgst complete stills yet found, with 22 10-gallon and one 5- gallon kegs of moonshine, There Was no oné on the place when they arrived but Dan Mackey drove up later and was placed under arrest. He was brought to town and released on bonds to appear for*triad. The still and liquor were loaded on @ truck and brought to town, where the outfit was photographed and then taken to the Gwynn ranch near Lucerne and left under guard. Pass ing, by the tragic happenings at the ranch Tuesday night, the liquor and still were brought to the sheriff's office under armed guard, checked up and sealed, and are being held for the commissioners. It was declared here tonight fol- lowing the mass meeting that the “scrap is all over,” meaning that no longer there are factional disputes to disrupt the community and the proper conduct of the law. | The general feeling is that the troubles of the past week have served to bring to a head the imbroglios which for sometime past have caused much resentment between various depart- ments of authorities. From present indications all peace and law en- forcement officers have again been brought together into a compact body which in the future will act as a unit in performance of duty. —— Adobe Being Used In Construction of Plant at Meeteetse MEETEETSE, Wyo., Au 9.

Down on Washington street a bent little old man puttered about his garage seeing to it that everybody who called got attention and a full measure of gasoline, until tonight, Lem Bell never attracted notige but now the boys are flocking around slapping him on the back and tell- ing him that he is’a wonder. For he is the “original” John W. Davis man. Lem does not claim any originality but 18 years ago he named his son the last of five boys, John William Davis Bell, and tonight J. W. D. Bell is doing the heavy work around the garage, while his! dad sits back and gets the glory. At the time Lem named his boy after the democratic presidential candidate he was” run- ning a livery stable, the only brick livery stable in Clarksburg, he says, but he had known John W. Davis since the time he used to set up flut- ter wheels in the West Fork and he took a “shine” to him. He said. “I allus maintain that Jawn hod the stuff in him to make a great man” said Lem. “I seen Jawn to- day and shuck hands with him. He looked powerful happy then. But when he got back to the old place on Lee. street I be doggoned if he didn’t break right down and cry be- fore all those folks when they was trying to show him a good time and how glad they was to see him back home.”" Lem recalled the former ambas- sador to the Court of St. James weeping unashamed efore his friends and neighbors on the broad front porch of hiv old home where he spent 45 years’ of his life. “Jawn was allus a smart boy,” Lem continued. “Is he Democratic?" repeated the old man. “Why he is Democratic any way you take him.
