The sheriff and coroner were called to the scene and returned accompanied by Mr. Gray, who will be given a preliminary hearing. The coroner's jury returned a verdict charging manslaughter. The evidence showed that Hayes and several other men employed at the ranch had received liquor from a party of bootleggers who passed the ranch that morning. Later Hayes became quarrelsome, and going to his tent about 1 o'clock, where Gray was relining, drew a gun and flourished it threateningly. Gray ordered his men to take Hayes away. Gray then retired.
