EATRER AND SON TRAVELING OVERLAND EAST FROM BAKER CITY. Theory Is Tliey Were Butchered and Robbed by Trnins Mangled Bod ies and Klood-Stuiicd Outfit Were, Found In u Wyoming t'ani ilie Women Belonging With the Puny Had Gone to Oklahoma. Cheyenne, Wyo., July 21. The mystery of the finding of two de serted wngons, blood-stained and bul let-riddled, and the mangled remains of a man and a boy, has been pur tlnlly cleared by the Identification of the victims ns Archie Irvine of Cos- i, Okla., and his son Thomas. They were relatives of Cheyenne people, who had been expecting them here from Buker City, Ore. The murders, It Is believed, were committed by tramps, who killed the father first, and when the son re turned over the trail seeking him, killed him also, taking one wagon to Hunna, Wyo., near which place It was deserted. The last heard of the Irvines alive was at Point of Rocks, west of Raw lins, Wyo. The finding of a quuntlty of woman's clothing In the wagon Is explained by the fact that Mrs. Ir vine was a consumptive and the trip by wagon wns being made for her benefit. Shortly before the murders she left the party and went by train to Oklahoma, where she now Is. Al though both corpses, tho faces of which were blown away to prevent Identification, were found but a few days ago, tho murders were probably committed a month or more ngo, and there Is now no clew by which to trace the murderers.
