T. H. Sackett Returns From Father's Funeral
T. H. Sackett of Livermore, returned Friday night from Ocotlan, Jalisco state, Old Mexico, where he attended the funeral of his father Orin Sackett, who was drowned there two weeks ago. Mr. Sackett flew to El Paso in bis private plane, took the Mexican Central airlines from El Paso to Leon and then went by rail from Leon to Ocotlan, a city which is located about six miles from his father's banana plantation.
Orin Sackett was drowned in a storm on Lake Ocotlan on the evening of Jan. 29 when a boat, powered by an outboard motor, was capsized. Mr. Sackett had sailed across the lake to Ocotlan and was returning to his home when a stiff south wind swept across the lake raising large waves.
The boat was not more than 200 yards from the landing on the plantation when it was turned over. Mr. Sackett, who was alone in the boat, was hurled into the water and was never seen again until his body was recovered the following morning by dragging.
Mr. Sackett is survived by a daughter, Mrs. Keith Bellairs of Cheyenne, Wyo., his son Thorwald of Livermore, and bis wife Florence of Ocotian.
He was well known in Fort Collins and the Livermore district as he had been a frequent visitor during the summer months at his son's ranch.
The trip by air to Mexico was uneventful, according to Mr. Sackett, as excellent flying conditions were experienced all the way.

CHEYENNE MAN ACQUITTED OF FIRST DEGREE MURDER CHARGE
Sanity Hearing and Trial on Assault Charge Still Pending Against Bellairs
CHEYENNE, Wyo. Dec. 12--(AP)--Keith Bellairs stood acquitted of first degree murder today but he still faces a charge of assault with intent to kill and a sanity hearing.
A jury in the district court acquitted him last night after three hours of deliberation of the first degree murder charge brought in connection with the fatal shooting of B. H. Fasen, Union Pacific stop superintendent here two months ago. He still faces an assault charge for the wounding of Floyd Watson, shot at the same time Fasen was mortally wounded.
A packed courtroom greeted the verdict with a demonstration that was quickly silenced by Judge P. W. Metz. Bellairs was taken back to the Laramie county jail.
Bellairs shot Fasen and Watson in the Union Pacific store room here and then walked to a policeman, told him of the shooting and handed over his pistol. Fasen died a week later from bullet wounds in his stomach but Watson recovered.
Throughout the five day trial the defense, in charge of A. D. Walton, former United States attorney, contended Bellairs' act was that or a man mentally unbalanced through worry over the loss of his position after many years' service with the railroad and he felt Fasen responsible.
Three prosecution alienists (sic) declared him sane.
