tho supposed murderer, nflor also

nrmeil himself again itiul escaped to
tho largo expanse of wild timber
on the level country bnck of Lako
port. Tho territory Is thick with
underbrush nnd It Is an Ideal place
for a man to hide.
Aimed Posso Out.
A posso composed of nruicd citi
zens and ranchers searched all night
last night for thu murderer but
nlthout success. This morning no
trace of Neff had been found and
another posso was being formed to
day to assist the officers In tho man
hunt. It hns developed that Neff
had Intimated that hi) was laying
for others nnd It Is feared that ho
will terrorlzo tho whole neighborhood
and commit mora murders If ho Is
not caught.

No one witnessed the killing hut
tho empty shells found near Wltt
inann's body correspond exactly with
those used In tho rlflo taken from
Neff by Walker when tho lattor's
life was attempted!. Noff carried n
30-10 U. S. Winchester rlflo. Ho
used a silencer so tho shot was not
heard In tho neighborhood.
Ilelleied to bo Cra.y.
Thero Is apparently no renl motive-
for the crime. Thoro had been
tome trouble about n school matter
tut tho peoplo of tho locality say
that It was not sufficient to lead to
a shooting. It Is believed that Noff
had harboicd Imaginary grievances
until ho had hecomo crazed and had
started out with his murdorous In
tentions. Noff Is about CO years of
age and has been around Lnkoport
for about four years. Ho lived In
