ACCEPTADLE TO ALL PARTIES ESTES SHOT IN SELF-DEFENSE Coroner's Jury Holds Him Guiltless TROUBLE THRUST UPON HIM Ritral Sheepman Interfered with Use of Range Jury Was Unanimous on Verdict. It took the coroner's jury less th-n five minutes to return a verdict of justifiable killing by George W. Estes of Ambrose F. Handle after the evidence had been taken at the inquest held at Lippman's under taking establishment last night. Every bit of evidence adduced went to show that Estes was entirely free from blame and that he was forced to kill Handle to save hi own life. The whole story of the trouble revolves about the repeated efforts of Aliie Jones to force Estes & Houston off of sheep range, which fiom all information obtainable was rightfully theiis. After the remains of Randle had been examined by the jury empanelled by Coroner J. A. Mc Call, evidence touching the case was heard. Tbe jury was composed of Wade Huston, P. B. Poindexter, T. N. Balfour, Harry Hudson, Floyd Rowell and Walter Snodderly. George Estes was the first witness and told the story of the trouble leading up to the shooting. Estes and his partner in the sheep busi ness, Tom Houston, bought sheep and land and . took over leases of range from a man named Miller. Their ranges and camps and lands j lined those used by Aliie Jones on the McKay. The first thing Jones did was to take possession of a lamb ing camp which Estes & Huston had bought from Miller. Estes and Jones had some words about this. Then Jones drove his bands of sheep in on Estes & Huston's range, and when Estes put their sheep in, Jones' herder, Elmer Randle, son j of the man killed, made repeated efforts to mix the bands of sheep. It kept Estes and his herders con tinually on the lookout to keep the Jones sheep out of their bands. At different time3 Jones' herders followed the Estes sheep about all day trying to mix the bands of sheep One dart according to Estes, the Handle boy, herding the Jones' sheep on range belonging to Estes A- Houston, had followed the Estes' sheep all day trying to mix the bands. Estes came up on horse back and found his own header working with his dog in front of the Jones' sheep trying to keep the bands apart, while the Handle boy sat on the bill a short distance away refusing to help. Es'.es rode toward the Handle boy and told him what be thought of such actions and the Randle boy came toward him saying that he wanted to talk to him. Estes had his rifle and when young Randle had come with in about ten or fifteen yards of him Estes ordered Lim to stop, at the same time cocking his rifle. Estes says that young Handle made a move like he was going to pull a pistol. Estes says he did not point his gun at Handle, but ordered him to turn his sheep and get out, and this the boy lost no time in doing. (Jn the day of the shooting the Jones' sheep were herded onto the Estes ranee again. Estes said that he wanted to see who was with the sheep and kept -out of sight while working .his way up to a tableland from which place he could look over all the range. Tbe Estes sheep, in charge a herder, were on one side of a ridge, and the Jones' on the other. Estes said that he thought the man In charge of the Jones' sheep was Allie Jones himself. The Estes' sheep, in order to reach their night camp, had to cross over this dividing ridge, and the man in charge of the Jones' sheep herded his band going in the op o ite di rection right into the paswa. Estes, fro jo h.is vantage point, saw that the two bands were f,oing to mix and was just over the turn of the hill throwing rttkt and hallo ing in front of the Jones' band, try ing to hold thetn until their herder should come to help him. The ground was rough and brushy at this place and Estes states that the first thing he knew a man, whom he took to be Allie Jones, appeared suddenly around a bush and ahot twice at hiuu He then opened fire shooting three times and the man fell. Estes started to go to him but heard him groan ing and was afraid to get in sight for fear he was only wounded and would kill him. Estes and his herder put the sheep into a corral and then Este? went for help. He thought he had hot Allie Jones. He got all the help he could and the men return ed to the scene of the shooting and found the man dead. Two men stayed with the corpse and EUes came into town and the sheriff and other people went out on the mountain in the night and got the remains and brought them to town, reaching here about 6 a. m. Elmer Randle, the herder, and son of tbe man killed, testified last night that he had instructions from Allie Jones to herd that range just the same as if there were no other sheep on it. "He didn't tell me to mix the hands," said young Handle, ' but he said if thy wanted to mix to let the sheep mix themselves." Ike Ward testified that Allie Jones had told him that he was go ing to have the range claimed by Estes. Mr. Ward said that one time Jones said he would order his herders to mix the bands. ' Allie Jones came to town Mon day and bought a new rifle. Tbe Randle boy came to town Tuesday and bought one. The pistol that Randle had at tbe time he was killed was a 38 calibre special which the Handle boy testified he had given bim when be quit herding after be had the trouble with Estes a few days ago.
