But in prison she to and Indies*
tions are that she w ill
remain
there for somq time, although no
charge has been placed against
her.
C harles H . Combs, prosecuting
attorney of tolodatad and remote
Lake connty, has intimated that
he believes Lorena known more
than has been told about the stab
bing o f "811m,” noted rodeo rid
er. For one thing, he wants more
information concerning a. long
bladed knife which plunged into
"Slim ’s" heart on September 1.
In Jail In connection w ith the
same case to Robert Brown, a
buckaroo, also from central 'Ore
gon, but anthorttiea, la h is ease
too, refuse to reveal the
exact
reason why he to being held.
“They are being retained for
Investigation;* ’is tbs reply of
Combs to «11 questions.
H arris, well known tbronghont
the UnIJed States as a participant
In rodeo event and wild w e s t
shows, was murdered the night
of Sept. | . He was here to round
up a string of horses for nss la the
Peadlstoa Round-Up, great west
ern classic of eastern Oregon, In
which both he and his hardmusel-
ed wife had entered.
According to the story told au
thorities, H arris and his .w ife,
(Lorena T rjckey) were riding la
an automobile from tba stables at
the edge of town.
Being cau
tious with machinery, in contrast
to h is recklessness on the bAck of

across the railroad ' tracks. Sud
denly, Lorena said, a men leaped
on the runniaffritoard ahd plunged
a knife into the heart e f “SUm."
Although m ortally
wounded,
she said “Slim ” leaped from the
ca>, tore off his Jacket and took a
fsw tottering steps-In pursuit o f
his assailant
before dropping
dead.
Suspicion at first was festonad
on Manuel Morirá, a negro Jock
ey. He had answered Lorena’s
call of distress after the »tabbing
of “ Slim.”
B ut be was subse
quently released and on Satur
day, Sept. 1, Mrs. H arris a a 4
Brown were arrested and since
then have been ’h’eld for Investi
g a tio n .'’
Perhaps the most^damaglng ev
idence against the dark-haired
cowgirl, who looks as thongh she
m ight have a strata of Indian
blood, is her admisison that she
owned the knife which killed her
buckaroo, chap wearing, big-hat
ted, easy going husband.
This admission, however, was
not in the nature of a confession.
The girl claims, Combs said, that
the knife ’ / i s stolen from t h e
stables where she and “Slim ” had
their string o t horses.
Motives such ns professional
Jealony, for both worn groat rid
ers, and perhaps n regard P o r
some other man,'have been hinted
at but are w ithout official hasta.
Lorena’s temper Is the cause of
some comment, for her disposition
was none too.jjweet, according to
follow cowboys slid cowgirls.
Suggestions that the strength
of a girl to not great enough to
wield a knife In th e ' manner
which canned "Slim ’s" death are
discounted by those who know
Lorena. She Wpe a Sard-rider, a

However, the fbroner’s fury
