Somes, highly respected citizen and pioneer farmer of this community, was found dead yesterday morning. He had been building a new house on the Cumbo ranch, which he purchased some time ago, and had been sleeping in the barn. He was last seen Monday, and it is thought by R. Adams, who was called as soon as the body was discovered, that Mr. Somes had died Monday night. Death had been from heart trouble, as there was no evidence of a struggle.
