Citizens Looking for the Murderer of Old Man Henry

ELKO, Nev., Dec. 10.-The people about Fort Helleck are greatly inflamed over the foul murder of Thomas B.  Henry. The coroner has completed his inquest in the case and the officers are still searching for the murderer.  Posses of cattlemen and ranchers are assisting and if the fellow should be caught by the latter he would be shown scant consideration.

Before he died Mr. Henry made a complete statement of the crime. He said that he was alone in his saloon part of the building when a short heavy set man entered and discharged a revolver at him. The ball went wild and without a second's hesitation the Intruder beat him into insensibility.  The suddenness of the attack and the flash of the gun prevented me from seeing the man very well but I am pretty certain that I never saw him before.

The officers wonder why the man attempted murder before committing the robbery, as Mr. Henry was an old man, Infirm and a cripple. Morning Appeal December 12, 1905
