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.
