Livingston, Nov. 1S.-A. Dennis start
ed out Sunday to catch a mess of fish
and had only proceeded a short dis
tance down the Yellowstone when he
discovered an object anchored on the
rocks of the river near the railroad
bridge. Investigation proved the OBJ
ject to be the body of drowned man.
Coroner w. L. Shawk was notified and
held an inquest. The inquisition failed
to disclose the dead mans identity and
the remains were inferred in the pot
ter's field at the poor farm. The pre-
sumption Is that the deceased had
been working for the Montana Coal &
Coke company at Horn. The only thing
found on the body was slip of paper
without name or date. 1t was a MEM
orandum of a bill of goods supposed
to have been purchased at the COM
pany store at Horr. The bill footed
up to $3.50 and contained such items
as tobacco, whiskey, shoes. caps, nit
tens, underclothes and quilts. 1t is
known that employees of the Montana
Coal & Coke company who purchase
goods at the company store are given
memorandum of their purchases SINH
lar to the one found on the body of
the drowned man, and the coroner is of
the opinion that the slip of paper will
be the means of establishing the iden-
tity of the deceased.
The body had probably been in the
water for two or three weeks and was
that of a man weighing 100 pounds and
about so years of age, with sandy hair
and a full beard streaked with gray.
The deceased had on a new pair of
shoes, frock coat, black shirt and blue
overalls.

plicable to the butchers of Park coun-
ty, for not one of the butchers of this
city or county have filed the required
statement with the county clerk for
any month since the new law went into
effect. Up to six months ago the prac-
tice of filing the required statement
generally prevailed, but of late II has
fallen into desuetude.
