Story of tlie Murder.
It seems that the Miller and Wilt
shire herders and ramptenders hava
had difficulty before over the division
of the range, and that some bad blood
existed between Moore and 'Johnson
especially. Rdmor says . that Moor
had bedded his sheen down In the road
over which Johnson, coming along
later, desired to pass. Johnson re
quested Moore to move the sheep un
der his care, and upon his refusal an
altercation followed, during which
Johnson made a move as If to draw a
gun, but was too slow, .nd waa In
stantly killed by Moore. Moore had .
the reputation of being a rather nice
fellow, oulte well known In Union,
and very particular about his personal
appearance and the cleanllners of his
camp. Nothing much Is known about
Johnson, cxi-ept that ho has been with
Wiltshire for a couple of years, and
has always been a faithful servant,
being entrusted for long period with
the car of tiie Wiltshire hone near
Telocamt.
