Murder accusation stirs Whestland crowd on mail day
Whestland residents were rattled on the 20th by mail dispatches naming J. R. Lyford in connection with the Hertzell murder case. Lyford, long a Wheatland farmer, described his dealings with Hertzell’s estate, repaying debts and defending his conduct amid rumors of embezzlement. He supported his innocence and noted Hertzell’s wife had funds, with court records from Prescott in 1868 backing his position. The piece also touches on wheat shipments, local business, and unrelated crime updates.
