THREE MEN MURDERED.
TRAPPERS' BODIES FOUND. AN OREGON MYSTERY. By Telegraph Press Association—Copyright. (Received 6.5 p.m.) Sun. NEW YORK, April 26. Their failure to bring in their winter store of furs led to the bodies of three trappers, Morris, Nicholls and Wilson, being discovered ir. a lake near the town of Bend, in Oregon. All had been shot in the head and their bodies dropped through a hole in the ice. The trappers' camp had been stripped of furs. It is supposed that the murdered men were called from the lake, which is some distance from the camp, and that one trapper went to ascertain the cause and was shot down. When he failed to return the second and then the third followed, and the murderer was thus enabled to shoot each man separately.
