'LAST SHOT FOR HIMSELF t Surrounded by Posse, lie Trips the Trigger of His little' With Toe. j Body Standing. Sheriff Fire, Thinking Indian Is Alive. SAN" BERNARDINO. Cal.. Oct- IS. ("Willi Boy. the Pluto Indian double murderer and desperado, for whom three posse, of 50 armed men have been scouring; the San Bernardino desert, was found dead yesterday on the sum mit of Bullion Mountain, where he made his final stand. He had killed himself with the last shot from his rifle. The news came by courier and telephone to San Bernardino. The In dian had been dead several days. At 1 o'clock on the afternoon of Oc tober 7. "Willie Boy made his stand-on the mountain against the pursuing posse of Sheriff Ralphs, after having been relentlessly pursued for ten dsys across the most barren section of the Western desert. Entrenched behind an ambuscade of rocks, he fired a rain of bullets from his repeating; rifle at the members of the posse ss they were as- rending; the mountain, following his trail. The first shot struck Deputy Charles Roche through the hips, des perately wounding him. Two otiier of ficers were struck by flying splinters of bullets and chips of rocks and slight ly hurt. Three Hordes Killed. Three of the posse's right horses were killed. Sheriff Ralphs and his men re turned the fire ineffectually, and the In dian, safely hidden behind his barricade of rocks, laughed derisively at h.'s ene mies. All that afternoon the po?se lay behind shelter, the members not daring to show themselves in the open for fear of drawing the Indian's fire. When nightfall came Sheriff Ralphs and oth-r officers, carrying the wounded deputy, retraced their steps down the mountain. Their food and water supplies were ex hausted and the men were worn out from loss of sleep. It was decided to return to San Ber nardino and secure reinforcements and additional supplies. "As the party left the mountain that night, they heard a demoniacal laugh from far up on the mountain summit, where the Indian des perado had made his stand, and a single shot rang out. It was thought tnen that the Tnnn, crazed by his sufferings and his long pursuit, had slain himself. When the posse returned to the spot yester day, they found .the Indian's body. Memorable Wan-Hunt. The pursuit of the Indian murderer has j been the most sensational man hunt oc- curring in the Southwest in recent years. Willie Boy was a member of the tribe of Piute Indians at tne Banning reser vation. He was known as a reckless character and a dead shot with a rifle. Among the Indian women he was much of a Lothario, ana nis irequeni love un fair finally led him to the kiUing which drove him to the desert and finally to his death. The body of the Indian was found leaning back against a rock with a bul let hole Just below the heart. He had removed one shoe and pulled the trigger with his toe. firing the last shot in his rifle. ConstablS Ben de Crevecoeur was the first officer to see the body. His horse caught sight of it and leaped high in the air. So lifelike was the posture, that the off leer-fired a shot from his revolver toefore realising that the desperado was dead. Body Is Cremated. . The body was stripped and placed on a high pile of dry brush. and cremated. It was 8 o'clock yesterday morning when it was found. As soon as the discovery was made, other officers rushed to the spot and surrounded it. The body of the Indian was strtpped of everything pos sible in the way of souvenirs. Boulder Mountain had been surrounded early yesterday by "a posse of 20 men and an advance ordered. Not until the summit was reached was the body dis covered. The Indian had evidently watched the retreating officers on Octo ber 7. saving his last shot for himself. Apparently he had believed that the of ficers would surround the mountain that night snd attack him at daybreak, and ho had calmly executed his plans for suicide. Twenty pounds of provisions were found bjslde the body. HASKELL FILES DEMURRER Oklahoma Governor Would Blot-k Trial for Land Frauds. ARDMORB, Okla., Oct.

Oct- !. Soecla!.) In con. nebtlon with the Spokane rate case, the commercial interests of Chicago through the Chicago Association of Commerce have asked, the Interstate Commerce Commission to give this market com modity rates on less than carload busi ness Into the Puget Sound territory.
