TACOMA, VASE, April 4.-The body Of
young girl was found last week iI the north.
ern part of Wslla Walla county, in the cast
ern part of this state, by rancher while
clearing up small piece of land in the vi.
cinlty OF his barn. The body was first sem
lying about two feet under ground, near
the root Of tree, as the stump was being
grubbed out. IL is generally supposed to
have lain there for nearly twenty years. II
has been identified as tda body of Eueids De
Nalllere, the daughter Of Frenchman who
settled in that section about a quarter Of q
century ago. The finding of the body has
brought to light remarkably interesting
story. The appearance of the land and the
position in which the body was found have
led TO the boltef that it was never buried by
mortal hands, but it must in all probability
have been covered from view by the con-
tinual drifting Of earth, dried leaves, and
the many decayed substances that undoubt'
edly accumulated at the base of the tres
during the years that have passed since the
girl disappeared from her home.
The body was removed to the cabin Of the
TaUCher, where it was washed and
thoroughly dried, when 1t became as white
aud as smooth as the purcst marble. 1t was
removed to the residence OF a physician in
Idaho, where il now is. There is not q flaw
or scar visible to mar the symmetry OF the
graceful proportions Of the figure, OF the
beauty of the phenomenal coloriug OF the
lips and cheeks, which has aroused the in1
tere3t of the few physicians that have been
permitted to gaze upon 1t. The oOlorlng,
strange as it may appear, comes aud goes
with the rising and setting OF the sun. On
dark, rainy days tho face remains as pallid
as an ordinary piece of marble. just as
sunrise tots flesh tint of heslthful repose is
seen to settle upon the features, giving the
face the appearance of quiet sluInber, but

of night begin to fall. AS che sun begins
to disappear over the western horiZoa tire
life-like form gradually changes, the white
ness reappears and the body is again in the
icy clasp of death and becomes cold and
clammy.
When the body was found It was per-
fectly nude. There was, however. tiny
gold chain enciroling the neck with little
star attached, upon which were the initials
"E de "" These initials gave the first clue
to tile identity Of the body. When it became

by his young wife and a little girl. he
built himself little log cabin and turned
farmer. Years passed away and the little
girl grew to BIO a magnificent looking
woman. She made peace for her father
with the indians, and soon she and her
parents were on unusually friendly relations
with the red men. The Beautiful Lily, as
