Stanley Helton, aged 25 years, deputy sheriff of Menifee county, died at the
Mary Chiles Hospital yesterday evening at 6 o'clock of gunshot wounds inflicted
in a fight with "Bad Bill" Waters on July 13 in Menifee county.

The death of young Helton makes the third victim of the deadly fire of "Bad
Bill". Marion Stapleton, another deputy was killed instantly during the fight in
which Helton was mortally wounded. The officers had gone to the home of Chas.
Neal, whom Waters is charged with having murdered and buried, to investigate the
alleged slaying when the fatal shooting occurred. The body of Neal has since
been found near the home, buried under six inches of dirt. Waters gave himself
up last week, was brought here and lodged in jail and later removed to the
Lexington jail for safe keeping.

Young Helton stood high in Menifee county and was said to be a splendid young
man, quite popular with a wide circle of friends. He is survived by his parents,
Mr and Mrs Boone Helton.

Funeral services will take place Wednesday afternoon at 3 o'clock at the
Chambers burial grounds.
