Brown, a .ober ana mausinoua iuu

wlf. and children, on a homeatead near
tha vlllate of Ironside, but it was a
m.tfae at common repute that hi. wife
had beon troublesome to hi. peace, and
about six month, ago she left him and
their ' alx small ohlldren, .ince which
Urn .he has been In Baker City. -
Tha eldest of the six children is a
daughter about' 14 year. old. and ltwa.
for thl. child that Brown set a ry

Shadow or tne gauown. - . - .
The atory of the girl', wrong, dates
back to aoout two year, ago, when
Wisdom built a shack en the Brown
homestead, without the consent of the
latter. This caused aome trouble be
tween the two men, as Brown suspected
tbe purpose of Wisdom.
, Wisdom was reputed to be a shlf Uess
fellow generally, priding himself on his
gallantries. During the two year, he
occupied the house on the Brown home
atead he wa not employed at any par
ticular occupation, simply working
enough as a day laborer to secure a
subsistence. During this time the trou
ble between the two men would at times
recur, but nothing serious took place
until about two day. before the shoot
ing. When Brown came home and found
hi. Anni.itH rrvlnr. He tried to in
duce her to tell him the cause of her
trouble; but for some urns sne poemva
ly refused to give him an Inkling of the
ai raaaon. but finally she broke down
and said "Old BUI haa been here again."
Thia was the first Intimation that Brown
had ' ever had that his daughter had
been led astray and he elicited from her
the statement tnat tor , me
year she had been the victim r the
most extreme and revolting bestiality.
. The relation of these events by his
own daughter,-whom he supposed to be
an Ignorant child, half erased Brown,
but he repressed hi. wrath for the time
being and went to a nearby neighbor for
consultation. To the neighbor he broke
down and cried like a naoy ana 101a u

meantime the neighbor visited Wisdom
and advised him to leave.1 lest there be
trouble. This Wlsdomi refused to do,
for the reason, a. he said, that he was
