District Attorney Ruick and Cor
oner Higgins came up from the
county-seat Wednesday to investi-
gate the mystery recently encount-
cred by the discovery of an un-
known body in the Ketchum GEM
etery, and a jury, composed OF
Mcssrs. James Moore, Ed. Callig-
han, Ed. King, Geo. Metzler, John
Pilmer, James Fort, Billy Hamp-
som, Ross Eichelroth and 1. B.
MILKY, having been impaneled the
body was dug up and examined and
an inquest held in Justice BOWS
Office. The body was in a rough
board coffin, buried with its clothes
and boots on. Wherever a part
was exposed the flesh was entirely
decomposed and the bones dis
jointed. A hole penetrated the
skull over the left eve and at the
back Of the head, corresponding
exactly with the wound known to
have been made by suicidant
Weber (thc Swede) who, as stated
in recent issue of the KEYSTONE,
was buried July 4th or 9Th, 1882.
Evidence was revealed that said
Weber was buried with his clothes
and boots on and in such a coffin.
The jury disagreed twice upon
slight doubt as to the mans iden-
tity, and was adjourned until
Thursday when additional evil
dence was accumulated and the
case made clear. A verdict was
then brought that the body was
that of said Geo. Weber who was
known to have committed suicide
on July 4, 1892. At that time the
cemetery was but partially laid out
and the grave might easily have
been placed out of line. The solu-
ton Of this mystery will be wei
come news to the friends and
relatives of one Ed. A. Fallon,
whose, it was thought by some,
might have been the body, as he
mysteriously disappeared from
Ketchum last April.

Frank J. Cannon and Hugh Can
non, sons of George O.; Angus
Cannon, son of Angus NJ, and
another man named James Hughes
of Ogden, were seen lettering
around the Continental Hotel last
evening about six o'clock. About
seven o'clock Frank Cannon and
Hughes were seen in the hotel
office when w. II. Dickson, United
States Attorney for Utah, came out
of the dining-room accompanied
by his wife and little daughter
One of the men asked the clerk to
call Mr.. Dickson, as he wished to
speak to him. Mr.. Dickson came
out into the Office, where the two
men were standing.
"Come outside Il minute" said
one of them, Il wish to speak To
you privately"
well, what is it?" inquired Mr..
Dickson, "what have you got TO
sav?"
Il want to speak to you pri-
vately; I've got a pointer for you"
was the reply.
Mr.. Dickson accompanied the
two men TO the sidewalk in front
of the hotel, walking between the
two, with his hands behind him, rs
is his custom. When he reached
the sidewalk he stopped and stoop
ed down to hear what the men had
to say. As he did so Hughes
STRUCK HIM TWO BLOWS
In the face. At the same moment
Angus and Hugh Cannon came up
and, with Frank Cannon, endeay-
ored to hold Mr.. Dickson while
Hughes beat him. In the scuille
one Of them was pushed against Il
window, and the crash brought II
crowd quickly to the scene. Judge
Powers, Major Erh, Judge Carleton
and others were the first to arrive.
Major Erb attempted to sieze
Hughes by the throat and received
a blow across the back of the hand,
evidently with some weapon, judg-
ing by its effects. Hughes and
Hugh Cannon then ran off, one OF
them hurting back a stone which
crashed through one of the hotel
windows. Mr.. Dickson clutched
Frank Cannon
BY THE THROAT
And, shaking him as he would
puppy, demanded to know who
struck him. Cannon refused To
give the mans name. Judge Pow
crs announced himself peace
officer and placed Frank Cannon
under arrest, while at the same
time Major Erb took charge Of
Angus Cannon.
Angus Cannon was searched and
found to have a 3S-calibre Smith ~
Wesson revolver on his person,
with every chamber loaded. James
Hughes and Hugh Cannon fled and
gave themselves up to the Mormon
police--Salt Lake Tribune, 23d.

The Central Nevadan says the

at Lewis to Haggin Il Tevis, San

On the contrary, the property has

settled by the courts.
The reason OF the purchase some
time ago of the Silver City, Dem

NEWSPAPER MoRALs-A meek and
mild-mannered paragraph occasionally
goes the round Of our pious and goody-
good exchanges in regard to what con-
stitutes moral newspaper. The sub
stance of their conclusions is that the
model paper is one which a man can
take home to his family and hand to
his wife and daughters without causing
a blush, or to the hired girl without
causing her to throw her apron over
her head and run out of the room. We
know of several such papers, that would
make anything blush. The heading to
the papers are a sgnboard that there is
nothing in it," Lack of ambition or
sense is often misconstrued as classical
cleanliness and organic purity.

YELLOW Observation-Disclosures the
exposures in the FREE PRESS that the
Yellow Pine excitement is humbug,
several of the boys in Warrens have
been bitten with the fever and have
already gone or are soon going in. The
originators of the fraud, Clifford and
Sutherland, were in there recently and
"sorter whooped the boys up to strike
out for the alleged Eldorado on their
say.so. Professional liars can nearly
always command good wages, and those
fellows would have been easily worth
500 per month to us while we were
running the Ceur d'Alene Eagle during
the stampede in the early days of that
camp. The topography of the middle
fork country, where the Yellow Pine
basin is alleged to be located, ought to
convince practical miners that it is an
unlikely locality for placer mines, and
we don't believe that in all the middle
fork watershed basin exists as large
as Yellow Pine is said to be.

Bro. Leland and his clique Of disgrun-
tied political cranks in Lewiston have
already commenced their biennial croak-
ings at the regularly organized parties.
The annexation hobby owes its origin
to jealous spite because of the removal
of the capital from Lewiston to Boise.
and the scheme has been since bolstered
up by political chicanery and fraud and
has been used as medium to secure a
cheap notoriety for the mutual admira-
ton society who fondly believe they
hold the balance of power in the politics
of this territory. The whole scheme is
based on false pretenses and false claims
and it never will succeed, even if its
adoption be pressed to the day of judge
ment.
