unfavorable comment made. The ppblioa-
tion Of lottery advertisements in his Moli-

Suspicious Circumstances Attending
the Death Of w. H. Edwards,
Of Grantsdale.

Found Against Two Of

Injuries Received.

Mmsou1A. Aug. l8.-[speoial. The cor
oner's Jury which has BEEN looking into the
cause OF the death Of VIM. H. Edwards has
completed it, labors, but will withhold
its verdict for several days In order to more
fully look into the matter. II - now be-
lieved that Edwards was foully murdered
and suspicion points most strongly to
Thompson and Fred Edwards, nephews Of
the deceased. These two boys had been
working at Gibbonsville, Idaho. On
Wednesday they came to Grantsdale and
told several persons that the works ut Glib
bonsville had shut down, that they were out
of work and that Edwards owed them 300,
which they must have or there would be
trouble. In most emphatic terms did they
etate that they must have the money. Ed
wards, II il said, told them that he could
not possibly pay the debt at present. When
the boys suggested that he give .
mortgage ON his stock Edwards told them
that he did not even have enough money
just then to pay for the making out of the
mortgage. Thompson offered Edwards q
with which to pay for the fees Of making
out the papers, whereupon Edwards told
them he would 20 to zee Mr.. Hamilton and
arrange with him to get the money and pay
on the debt. This is the story told by
Thompson to several people near Grants
dale. Edwards started of and never re-
turned alive. Thompson went to Mrs. Ed
wards that night and told hsf that Billy had
skipped ont and that hsnsvsr wO1ld return.
Thompson and Fred Edwards have uipce
skipped out, and the autho9itiss are nov

This, together with Thompson and Fred'a

him blow in the back Of the neck. They

his hat on the bridge in the position 1t Wal
found, to make it appear as though Ed.

committed suicide. Thompson going te

parture, would also 60 to show that ~

A. E. Robbins, came down from Grantsdal'
this morning and swore out a warrant fol
the arrest of Thompson and Fred Edwards
charging them with murder. The warrant
has been placed in the hands of the sheriff
and diligent search for the supposed muir
derers is to be made.

tonight.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-For some reason
the officials are disposed to be very secret
and mysterious in regard to to-dav's silver
transactions and refuse absolutely to give
out any information in regard to offers Of
the sale of silver bullion to the government
which may have been received by the de-
partment under circular Of Ang. l. Il ic
probable, howeverb that if any purchases
were made to-da5 the fact would be made
public about O'Clock this afternoon. The
director of the mint said this afternoon
that the department during the Afternoon
would announce London prices of silver,
but would not under any circumstances let
the public know the rates paid by the gov
ernment for its purchase, provided any are
made.
The director Of the mint this afternoon
gave out the following statemen in regard
to silver purchased, with the remark that,
"Thfs is all there is to say about it."
London quotatlon-51H pence, sterling ex-
change 4.6719, parity l.1254, Purchases for
Philadelphia, San Francisco and New
Orleans mints, $4,000 ounces. He declined
absolutely to say anything IN regard to the
price paid. Il was learned, however, from
another source that the purchases were at
rates slightly in excess of the London price
| Of 51A pence, and it's New York equivalent,
1.1254, and the offers aggregated nearly H.
900 ounces.
