reported to Coroner River about ]
o'clock yesterday afternoon. that
the body of an unknown man had
been found Ia the river between The
logs at Pennoyer's mill. Coroner
River at once sent the dead wagon
to the mill and found the body as
reported. 1t was the body ofa man
about 28 years of age, with dark
hair and light mustache. He was
we'll dressed and it was evident that
he was man in good circumstances.
The face was so badly discolored
that no one could recognize it.
When searched at the morgu'
nothing was found on the body ex
cept small scrap of paper contain
ing receipt for some goods pur-
chased from a Portland drygoods
firm. The upper half of the receipt
was torn off so that the receipt
amounted to absolutely nothing foI
the purpose of Identification. The
body was attired in a checkered
Scotch tweed suit, black Mcintosh,
white shirt, and white necktie with
blue horizontal stripes. In the tie
there was a square gold pin with
star and crescent ornaments, There
was a pearl in the crescent and a
garnet in the star. This pin led to
the identification of the remains.
The size and general build of the
body corresponded with the descrip-
ton of Barbour, the missing Leba
non merchant. The police authori-
ties have photograph of Barbour
The scarf-pin told the tale. 1t was
the body of Barbour. Detective
Gritzmacher, after taking look al
the body, was satisfied of the same
fact.
That Barbour was foully dealt
with there is little doubt. The in
iuries on the head are evidence o
this. The fact that all his money
watch and chain and diamond rims
are missing would lead to the infer
ence that he was murdered for hi
, money. But how, when or by
whom he was murdered no ont
knows. The general supposition II
that he was murdered somewhere
in the city, and the body was theI
carted off and dumped INTO the rive
at Pennoyer's mill. Barbour woult
not have strolled out that far him
self and the body could not have
fioated up stream. The police arr
satisfied that IL is case of murder
and the fullest investigation will b'
made.
The deceased leaves young wife
to whom he had been married but
few months. She is nearly pros
p trated with grief, and when last II
: the city could not believe that he
husband had deserted her. Sh'
maintained then that he was foullS
dealt with. Detective Gritzmachel
telegraphed her in regard to the find
, ing of the body last evening.
Coroner River will hold an In
. quest on the remains either thii
, afternoon or tomorrow.
