The following additional particulars 
have been received on the murder of 
T.A. Oram, who last year conducted a 
restaurant on first Street and later 
removed to Montana, where he was 
brutally murdered. 
   One of the puzzling features 
connected with his murder was cleared 
up when a sheepherder discovered the 
spot where the crime was committed. It 
was in a field about a mile from 
Fitzgerald's camp and a mile from the 
cut where the body was found. Despite 
the storms that have since occurred 
the blood stains on the ground, and 
the satin shirt worn by Oram when he 
left the hospital near Stanford to go 
to his camp, together with a large 
knife were found on the spot. The 
shirt had been pulled off the body 
before the score of stabs were 
inflicted. After the mutilation of the 
body, a sweater that Oram had carried 
was put on the body. 
  A large rock covered with blood was 
picked up, and it was evident that the 
man was picked up, and it was evident 
that the man was first knocked 
senseless with it and then murdered. 
In the pocket of the shirt was the 
valuable gold watch, Oram carried. 
This taken in connection with the rig 
found on the body, as well as the 
small amount of money, is looked upon 
by many as proof that robbery was not 
the motive for the crime. Yet as 
Oram's wife claims he had several 
thousand of dollars in currency with 
him, the fact that the jewellery was 
not taken may not be specially  
significant, unless 
indeed, the story of the big roll is 
untrue. It has been surmised that Oram 
was lured into some place in Stanford 
and there killed, but this discovery 
upsets that theory. In all probability 
there were at least two men in the 
job, as one man could hardly have 
carried the body a distance of a mile 
unaided. Sheriff Martin is again at 
work on the case and the officers are 
greatly encouraged.
