T FAiLIE Boise Officers-Have Weird Ex perience in Mountains of Idaho PROSECUTOR LOSES ROAD Coroner Kind-; Feeling so Strong Against Sheepherder That Inquest Is Not Held at Scene of Crime. Koe Makes Confession. BOISE. Idaho, Dec. 29. f Special.) Ixs of the dead body of a murdered man, while it was being conveyed- over a moun tain road to Nampa. confession of the slayer. who asserts self-defense, and the wanderings of C. P. McOarty, County Attorney, who lost his way near the scene of the crlmet were the weird in cidents related on the return of the county officers1 from Rocky Spur early this morning. It was the Coroner's intention to hojd the inquest at the scene of the crime, but the feeling against the sheepman slayer was so strong that he decided to remove the body to Boise and .summon the. wit nesses here. The inquest will be held to morrow. , Sheriff Bennett went to Rocky Spur to arrest Lafe Roe, sheepherder, who killed John McClintock, a rancher, after a quarrel Monday, and was accompanied by the Coroner who went to -bring in tho body of the victim. The officers on taking charge of the body of McClintock. placed it in a rough box in a wagon and starting on the return trip to Nampa. where -Jlicy arrived dur ing the night after the cfcjd 20-mile drive. Going to the rear of the wagon they found that the body had disappeared, it having slipped from the box during the drive over rough roads. Coroner Schrieber and his driver started out again and found the body five miles rom town. County Attorney Xxes "Way. pounty Attorney McCarthvho vis ited the scene of the' shooting, was lot for several"1tours, arriving in Nampa late in the night after a drive of some thing like 40 miles about the country. McCHntock's death came as a result of the bad feeling existing between sheepmen and the homesteaders resid ing at the edge of the range. Lafe Roe, employed by the August Harvey Sheep Company, allowed his ; band to get on a 10-acre patch of wheat i on the McClintock homestead. McClintock objected. and in the ! quarrel the homesteader was killed by a rifle ball from a gun in the hands of Roe, who now claims he shot in self defense. There were no witnesses to the tragedy. Roe telephoned to Boise of the crime he had committed and waited for the officers to come and get him. He is now in the Ada County Jail. McClintock was a widower and had three small sons, aged 5. 7 and 9 years. These children were ihe first to dis cover their father's death- and tried to haul his body to the house on a hand sled. Tfcey were unsuccessful, and the body lay near where it fell until the arrival of the officers several hours later. Roe Assert- Self-Iefense. When interviewed in the County Jail here x this afternoon Roe said he had missed some of the flock he was herding, near the scene of the crime, and finding them at the ranch of McClintock. about a half a mile from camp, had taken them home. On the day of the shoting. Roe says, he was herding the sheep on the public domain and a portion of Ed Bris bane's place, when McClintock approached and insisted that he had no right to graze the sheep on public domain. Threat ening the herder and declaring he would shoot someone if he did not move the siheep aTfiy, according to Roe's state ment, McClintock raised his gun saying: 4D ;ou. I ll kill you." Whereupon, Roe raised his Winchester and fired. Roe's story does not agree with wit nesses who found the body of McClin tock. No weapon of any kind was found on the dead body, and there was no ammunition n the premises for the two guns which trie rancher had in his house. SCRAMBLE ON FOR DEPOT Xewporl Property Owners Hold Va I riety of Opinions. NEWPORT, Or.. Dec. 29. (Special.) Now that the Southern Pacific has sur veyed its road from Yaquina around the bay to Newport, and has promised to be running trains over the road by next Summer. there is much discussion among the citizens and Councilmen. as to a proper location for Newport sta tion.

Mr. Abbey, of the Abbey House, has decided to place the terminus where the city dock now is, at his front door.
