TERRIBLE TRAGEDY
PRAIRIE CREEK
WILLIAM WINDOR SHOOTS HIS
WIFE, HER SISTER AND
KILLS HIMSELF.
"I want you to take this baby. Its
mother la dead. Give it to my peo
ple .when they come. I quarreled
with my wife and killed her. Mrs.
Rinehart butted in and I had to bill
her, too. I am going back now and
finish myself." This was the horri
fying statement made to George Rich
ards and family, by Will Windor,
a young man who worked for Fred
D. Rinehaint, near neighbor of Rich
ards, Thursday morning about eight
o'clock. The scene of the tragedy
was the Rinehart home on. Lower
Pralriie Creek, five miles east of
this city.
Richards hurried to another neigh
bor's and telephoned the ' news.
Sheriff Edgar Siarvin, Deputy S.
P. Pace, Deputy District Attorney
T. M. DM from here and many
neighbors were soon on 'the scene.
On the floor of the sitting room
lay Jlrs. Rinehart, dead from a bul
, let that entered her mouth. She
had been turned over on her back,
her bands crossed' on: her breast and
a quilt spread over her body. She
was bAhed in blood. On a bed
couch dn the same room lay both
Mr. and Mrs. Windor. The latter
had been shot in the center of tbe
forehead and In the side of the head.
The TOurderer had composed the form
of hl .wife and covered her as he
had Mirs. Rinehart. He had crawled
over 'hls wife's bloody body, stretch
ed himself beside her amid 'shot him
self in the right temple. A 38-call-bre
revolver had been usedi for each
murder.
Mr. Rinehart had left home at sun
up to go for a load of wood west
of Joseph. Windor evidently did
the deed about 7:30 o'clock, the on
ly immediate motive known being
his own admission to Richards of
a quarsrel.
Testimony at the coroner s inquest
was to the effect that Winder had
been angry at his wife for some
time, had not spoken to her for nine
days, because she had secured medi
cine from a physrtcian against his
wishes. Mrs. Windor had been 1M
for several days and was lying on
. the bed when shot. It is supposed
Mrs. Rinehart ran Into the room
when she heard the shot that kil
ed or stunned her sister. He shot
several times at Mrs. Rinehart. Two
bullets, struck . the wall. In all
eight empty shells were found.
Mr. Rinehart is a prosperous farm
er, coming here from Dayton, Wn.,
eighteen, monthsi ago. Windor and hia
wife were working for their broth-lm-ilaw.
They came from Wash
ington lost summer. He was of mo
rose, suille disposition. The day
before the murder he borrowed a
rifle of Richards. Fouir rifiea and
one shotgun were found in the house
besides the revolver still clutched in
the murderers hand.
The women were sisters, daugh
ters of David Dunilap, a piofieeir set
tler on the Imnaha, but who remov
ed to Washington 10 or 15 years ago.
The coroner's jury, composed of
Joe Williams, W. E. Davis, Ross
Leslie, W. H. Gibson, H. E. Hodgins,
' W. P. Warnock, found a verdict in
accordance with the above facts.
The body of Windor will be shipped
to Dayton, Wn. The baby is only
nine months old. -Funeral

Mr. Hoskin says he has mined
all over the earth, Africa, Australia,
Germany, Wales and' Cornwall and
tho United States, and he has never
seen a more ideal place for mining
opora'tons than to the mountains to
the wiost, south and southeast of
this city. The mineral is 'there and
ii is easy of access. When tho rail
rcod Is extended to the head of 'the
kvke and a little beyond, a dozen
mines will drop ore almost into the
cars, and that no doubt, quite, a min
ing camp' city will spring up there.
Mr. Hoskin has explored and pros
pected the mountalna from Wilson

similar malady or it you have been
unable to hold anything on your

don't fail to see this aggregation of
black face comedians hi their pro
duction in which every act ls a

from the time the curtain rises on
the chorus until It falls at the con

and vaudeville stunts of the second
part.
Every act is odd, iwnv and refresh

from Salt Lake for the occasion and
not even an earthquake will shake
