Walt. Coffin, of Boise city, was shot and
killed by murderer named Cottner, who
was the principal actor in the tragedy in
Union county Oh the l4th Of February last
A writ was issued for his apprehension, and
Walton Coffin was deputized with Goodall.
by the sheriff of Ada county to arrest him.
The Boise city Statesman gives the following
account Of the affair: "On Thursday the
the party arrived in the neighporhood of
Cot.ner's supposed hiding place in the Squaw
Creek Mountains, aud by an agreement be-
tween Gooia,l and Coffin, the latter pro-
ceeded alone to cabin where Cottner and
man named Morgaa we're known to be to-
gether. The reason given by GOodall for
this arrangement was that Coffin was ac
quainted with Morgan, and being unknown
to Cottner, it was thought that this would
facilitate the arrest. The sequel was that
Goodall, being not far of, bu. out Of sight,
heard the firing Of a gun, and rushing to the
spot found Coffin PROSTATE and unconscious.
with Morgan apparently trying to render
him some assistance. Upon Goodall inquir-
ing who had done this, Morgan could not or
would not give any precise information. The
deed was done and the perpetrator had fled.
Governor Neil has offered areward OF $500
On the part Of the Territory, and the citizens
of this place offer $500 more, making sl4O0,
for the capture of T. F. Cottner, who shot
Walter Coffin on Dry creek, eight miles
north of Horseshoe Bend, on the l9 inst.
Following is description of Cottner:
Nearly six feet in height, light built,
stands very straight, light hair, inclined to
curl rather large blue eyes, light sandy
moustaehe, upper lip rather short, wears
No. I, or Z. boots, has habit of frowning
when talking, smokes and chews tobacco,
age about % years. Co:tner is probably in
Boise county now and will get out very
soon bat will no. 80 10 Oregon, for he is
murderer there. The above reward ought
to start many men on his track.
