suspicious Of foul play With Ills friends,
who laid the matter before the officers.
Il Was thought that he might have

TIL. suspicion was borne out. too. by
| the circumstance that two of the anl-

their owner wa< missed. by \ suspi-
clous character. whom the of1rers are

OF capturing him. But a search Of
two days by a party OF white men aud
Indians employed by the Sheriff failed
to discover any traces OF the body In
