Bartlett and wife were hired last fall by
VIM. Rogers. Their cabin is about twenty
yards from the Yellowstone river. Friday
Bartlett came to Billings to collec5 some
accounts for his employer, returning home
late that night the worse for liquor. Sat
urday Rogers thought it was time for Bart
lett to sober up. On arriving at the cabin
he failed to see any signs of life. ON the
iloor, wet and soiled, was a lot of women's
clothing, and a lot of goods were missing
from the cabin. The account book and
receipts were found, showing Bartlett's
business was all right. His only pair of
shoes were found in a corner. The suppo-
sition is that the woman threw him into
the river and started for the hills. Under
Sheriff Ramsey and posse started this
morning to dredge the river for the body.
while another party will search for the
woman.
