II FATAL SHOOTING AFFRAY, .
Richard Créa Fires Tàree Shots Into
Tom Y. McLeod Saturday.
SHOOTING OCCURRED AT THE MAZE
One Juror Refused to Sign Verdict,
Claiming Testimony Justified
Release of Accused.
:
;
The most deplorable afTitir in the
annals of Orangeville occurred
Saturday evening at 5 o'clock in
Cote's Maze saloon, in which
Thomas V. McLeod was shot three
times and instantly killed by Rich
ard Créa, barkeeper of the place.
The particulars, as near as we can
gather them, from testimony of
eye-witnesses at the coroner's in
quisition, are as follows: Deceased
entered the saloon and shook for 4
the drinks and treated the crowd. ,
Having no money he asked Cote to t
charge it and the request was
granted. Later he returned and y
paid the cash. Deceased then i
turned to Dick Crca and made a
remark about his not liking the d
idea of extending credit, to which O
Créa replied that money was better < >
than credit. Deceased accused ,,
Créa of treating him coldly and
showing dislike. Finally, deceased "
mounted the footrail and climbed D
the bar and slapped or struck at O
Créa, who produced a pistol and ,,
attempted to strike McLeod with < (
it, bnt replaced it under the bar.
Later on, after more interchange of °
harsh words on the part of de- <►
ceased, Créa produced a piece of 4
billiard cue or gas-pipe and made a
second attempt to strike Mcl^eod, ,,
who was using frightful language
towards Créa, who thereupon fired
three shots in rapid succession, one 1 *
entering the body at the left nipple, 11
a second shattering the left fore- o
arm, and a third entering the body ,,
behind the left shoulder at the
base of the shoulder blade. De
ceased must have dropped dead in
his tracks, for he was only heard II
to exclaim: "That's enough, ^
Dick," au d never breathed again. ,,
A coroners' jury consisting of W.
H. Clarke, foreman, K. W. White,
W. E. Gee, W. C. Chapman, F.
M. Noyes, A. T. Reynolds and C.
S. Haynes was impaneled the same
evening, and after hearing the tes
timony of ten eye-witnesses they
brought in a verdict Monday eve
ning of criminal assault, which
verdict, Mr White declined to
sign, lor the reason that in his
opinion the testimony showed the
provocation so great that the ac
cused was justified in the killing.
The witnesses were as follows:
Erik Jansen, E. 8. Davis, Warren
Cook, L. E. Smith, Lew Bates,
Monte Jarret, Irvin Overman, W.
P. Palmer and T. W Thompson.
After hearing the evidence of
the eye-witnesses the jury brought
in a verdict that "the cause of
death was gunshot wounds indicted
by Richard Créa, and we further
find that the same was used with
criminal intent." This verdict was
signed by six of the seven jurymen,
Mr. Wldte refusing to affix his sig
nature on the ground that the evi
dence shdwed provocation sufficient
to justify the shooting.
The preliminary examination
was called for Monday forenoon
before Justice Jaquee, but owing
to the funeral of the deceased oc
curring in the afternoon it was
postponed until Tuesday, the ac
cused meanwhile being allowed at
large on $3,000 bail, which was
promptly furnished.
County Attorney Scales being
dissatisfied with the action of Jus
tice Jacques in allowing the pris
oner out on bail, came into court
Tuesday morning, and asked that
the case he dismissed. The court
so ordered it, and Créa was imme
diately arrested upon a warrant
sworn out before Probate Judge
Taylor at Mt. Idaho. Upon the
convening of the probate court
at Mt. Idaho Tuesday morning de
fendant's attorney asked for a
change of venue hack to Grange
ville. This the probate judge re
fused to do. Defendant's attorney
then asked that defendant be al
lowed to furnish a bond. This also
was refused and the preliminary
examination was set for Wednes
day at 10 o'clock. The case is
still in progress as we go to press,
hut will probably he concluded this
eveuing.
County Attorney Scales and Clay
McNamee appear for the state and I
J. F. Ailshie for the defendant.

During the coming year we will spare no means in JJ
making every line more complete, and in addition arc o
putting in many new lines. We have earned a reputa
tion for Best Goods, Lowest Prices and Upright Deal- o
ings, and on these lines we ask your help in making
1902 the Banner year. Buying for Cash and Selling <»
for Cash, puts us in a better position to give you better 4
prices than the General Stores, because you pay the ^
bills of those who never pay, an undisputable fact. O
Again, the General Merchant has every line to look af
ter, and frequently sacrifices Quality for Price, usually o
buying a Substitute, which is offeied to the public as <>
being just as good as the Specialty House handles. * *
Whereas, we on the other hand make a specialty of (>
Hardware and Harness, buying everything in the line, u
from the Cheapest that is good, to' the Best the world o
produces, and sell all at Uniformly Low Prices. We G
appeal to your instinct of making more money. You * *
want to make a larger profit don't you? Well, you O
cannot make'more Great American Dollars any easier o
than by saving those already earned. We will help O
you if you will give us a show to figure oh your wants, o
We will not be undersold, Quality Compared, and our o
motto is: "Not IIow Cheap, But How Good.

The other is the Midas, in
Dixie camp, Idaho. During the
winter Finch & Campbell installed
a 10-stump mill on each of the two
properties. The mills have been
working about a month. The re
sult of the cleanup at the Second
Relief is found in gold bricks esti
mated to he worth $2,000.
Two bricks from the Midas have
already been received and two
more are on the road. Their total
value is estimated at $3,000, though
this is only an estimate, for the
bricks have not yet been assayed.
The M idas property includes the
well kuowu Ajax group. It is a
medium grade free miiling propo
sition, which is expected to give
excellent results hy the stamp
milling process. The mine has a
huge ore body, and although not
deeply deyeloped, it is remarkable to
for the ore tonnage that has been
exposed. Other properties in the j
Dixie camp bave been banking
large on the results of development '
in the Midas, and the cleanup J
therefore will he received with j
more than ordinary interest.
