WAS A D1ABoLIcAL MURDER.
There Is but Slight Clue to the Per
petratOrs.

There Is but Slight Clue TO the Per
petratOrs.
The coroner's jury in the case Of the
man found dead near Eagle harbor, the
other day, finds that the victim was
murdered by some unknown person or
persons. 1t is regarded as the most dia-
bolical murder in the history of Kitsap
county. 1t is supposed that the man was
waylaid, murdered and robbed but in
asmuch as his identity is unknown 1t
follows that there is no clew to his slay-
ers. The victim was we'll dressed and
apparently 40 years old Nothing was
found on the remains which would lead
to Identification except two pairs of
bow spectacles, one of steel and the
other a gold-rimmed pair bearing the
stamped initials, &C. j." 1t is believed
the man had been dead a month or more.
An examination of the body resulted
in the finding of nothing except a cork
screw and a cork, the pockets of the
coat, vest and trousers being complete
ly destroyed by fire, and, even if any
papers had been left, they could not
have escaped the flames which mutt
lated the body. A hole was found in
the head, which the coroner believes
was made by the entering of a bullet
but the condition of the remains would
not admit of successful probing and
the bullet could not be found.
The man was evidently quite we'll
dressed. He probably was about 5 feet
inches in height and weighed 100
pounds. The forehead was high and
slOping, and there was a matted growth
Of fine, dark hair. The mustache was
dark and the face smooth shaver. Near
by was a black felt hat, and on the
body were a white shirt and collar, a
necktie of dark material a dark cut
away coat and trousers of dark dag
onal material. The back OF the body
was not burned and this aided the cor
Oner in gaining so accurate a descrip-
ton of the manner in which the man
was clothed. Special note was taken Of
the mans undershirt, which may be
the ultimate means of Identification
The garment was of a thick check ma
terial and was probably made at home.
The drawers were gray wooden. On
the feet were an old pair Of congress
CATERS, which the coroner does not be-
lieve were ever worn by the victim.
He is of the opinion the murderer apprO-
priated the shoes, leaving his own. He
says that it would be quite natural
that the other clothing would not be
taken, for this would be too easily iden-
tilted.

WILL UNCLE SAM STAND IT
A Desperate Night for an Oregon Stage
Driver-Corouer's Verdict Points
to FDui Murder.

The Alaskan News, published at Ju-
neau City, makes the sensational predic-
ton that Takou Inlet and the head of
Lynn canal will become famous the
world over as affording grounds for
fierce international dispute between
Johnny Bull and Uncle Sam, and
cause for arbitration by the European
powers to determine which country
shall hold it, according to the provisions
Of the Russian treaty and the subse-
quent purchase of Alaska by the Unit
ed States.
Each nation" says the Alaskan
News. holds fast to a different con-
struction of the Russian treaty, Eng
land maintaining that the boundary
line does not follow up and around the
deep inlets and bays, as held by the
United States, but follows the general
coast line ten marine leagues in the
interior from salt water. Great Britain
sees a flaw in the treaty, and, with her
usual aggressiveness, will endeavor to
wrest from the government at Wash
ington city the harbors inlets about
Juneau so that a British seaport will
hold the portal to the Yukon country
and the undeveloped northwest terri
tory.
THE good results following to the
commerce of English provinces by rea-
son of a seaport is too important to be
overlooked by England's aggressive for
eign policy.

THE NIcKELs WERE GILDED.

Counterfeit Coins.

Three Butte BOYS Arrested Tor Passing
Counterfeit Coins.
A Butte saloon keeper the other day
sold three pint TASKS Of whisky to three
young boys named Marion Johnson,
John Devine and James Cook, for each
of which he received what he supposed
to be a gold So piece A closer examina-
ton showed that the supposed gold
pieces were nothing but cent pieces
gllded over and AmiOt was forced to
the disagreeable conclusion that he was
out of pocket just $3.50 in good money
besides the three TASKS of whiskey.
Soon after one of the same boys came
in after another pint of whiskey and
laid down fourth gilded nickel in pay
ment for it, The boy was promptly
arrested. but he refused to tell where he
got the nickel His two companions
were found soon afterwards and all
three OF them were locked up at the
city Jail.
There is no doubt that the boys have
been disposing Of the gilded nickels
for some man who is interested and
instrumental in their manufacture The
| electroplating on the nickels is well
done They are exactly similar to a
counterfeit $40 gold piece which was
passed at one of the gambling houses
about a month ago by Jim Ryan, the
prize fighter. and their similarity has
convinced the police that there is some
smooth rascal in Butte who is making
a nice living by electroplating nickels
and old-fashioned copper cent pieces
and turning them into very passable So
and $40 gold pieces.
