gambling  much  of  late,  and  told  some  of  his 
friends  that  he  intended  to  end  his  life,  but  they 
thought  he  was  joking  and  passed  it  off  without 
serious  thought.  When  found  he  was  alive,  but 
nothing  could  be  done  to  save  him.  He  was 
about  forty  years  of  age.

There  are  thirty-one  prisoners  in  the  county

More  Stolen  Stock

Mention  was  made  in  last  week’s  Enter-

they  were  riding.  Soon  after  their  arrest  Sher-

R.  L.  Morgan,  an  employe  of  Head  & Heart’s, 
in  charge  of  the  Cow  Springs  ranch,  asking 
Frank  Murray  to  come  and  take  away  ten  head 
of  stock  horses  left  at  Cow  Springs.  This  was

sheriff’s  charge.  No  reflection  was  cast  upon 
Morgan  in  the  transaction,  as  he  is  understood 
to  be  a first-class  man,  simply  allowing  Murray

for  it.
