The body Of Sergeant Geo. Powers,
late of ID company, Fifth Infantry,
who hes been missing since Monday
q week ago, and whom was thought to
have met with foul play, was discov-
cred yesterday afternoon ou the beach
OF Tongue river, about $50 yards above
the railroad bridge. Geo, Buxman
went down to lhs river for the purpose
Of getting some sand aud gravel, and
"as horritied ut the sight of human
foot showing up above the sand. near
The water. The sheriff and coroner
were Immediately notified aud mes
sage sent to the post, as there Was no
doubt that this was the missing
soldier. Coroner Redd and Sheriff
Irvine, accompanied by u jury hastily
empaneled and also twenty or thirty
curiosity hunters, proceeded TO the
place Of the gha-tly lind and were
soon Joined by u detachment of sold
iers from Lhe post who being furnished
with picks and shoyels proceeded TO
perform the disagTeeable task of exca-
valing their unfortunate comrade.
This being done he Was partially
I searched by thecoroner, something over
$40 being found ia his pocket settling
any suspicious that may have existed
as TO foul play. The body was then
depos tied on stretcher and carried up
to Keogh where IL will be allowed TO
thaw out that a more perfect exsmi-
nation may be made by the coroner's
jury today, who will conduct the
inquest at the post. The jury consists
of Messr-. Harmon, Bach, Will
AtchIson. Bob orem, Rea and w. ID.
Smith.
THE THEORY.
From the position the body was
found in and the surroundings, it Is
plausible that the man met his death
by falling iu the river, getting be-
wilder,d aud going under. He was
last seen late arnight headed up Main
street, aud WAS not so drunk as to be
incapable Of taking care of himself
After proceeding up Main street a
short distance be struck out on cross
street for the bridge, intending, un-
doubtedly, TO go home, and as the
night was dark AS we'll As cold he must
have made the mistake of striking the
river at the big bend above the brew
cry and in some way making a mis-
step, went down ia the icy current,
the river at that time being rather
hign aud full of ice. Wedged IN by
one of these masses Of ice the body IL
hurled against the bank aud from the
position found ia must have been
forced out of the swifter current. The
head was pointed down stream; the
position being nearly face down; the
blouse was thrown up and over the
head, showing action Of the water; a
bed of sand had formed over the arnl-
and shoulders, aud but one foot was In
sight.

From the Austin Reveille we learn
that on Tuesday Of last week Davis Sa-
biui shot and killed Dick Holt who
was highly respected in the community
where he lived. Holt lived long
enough to tell how the trouble occurred,
eud expressed desire that the murder
er should be hanged. The citizens
took Sabini, hanged him until he
was dead and then tnok the body to the
room of the deceased and hanged it to
the bed-pcst to indicate that Sabini had
committee suicide. Sabini was only 81
years odd aud had an unsayory reputa-
