Special Dispatch 70 tha Standard.
GLENDIvE, Feb 2l.-The body of John
5. BARLEY was found under the ice in a
slough near the Yellowstone river at New
ion, Dawson county, yesterday morning.
He was last seen Saturday evening at sum
down. The head had three large gashes,
made by an axe which was found with
the body.
BARLEY was getting out logs by contract
and had a man named William Bailey
working for him, who was last seen with
him.
Bailey was arrested on suspicion. When
arrested he was returning from Glendive,
where he had been for tho past four days.
Constable Sandercock, who was convey
ing the body to town, made the arrest and
informed Bailey that he had the body in
the wagon. Bailey would not believe that
BARLEY had been murdered until he was
shown the body. He recognized the feat
ures as those of Bartley and did not show
the fear of n murderer in the presence of
his victim.
There was another man named Nc
Kenzie who boarded with BARLEY, and
who at the coroner's inquest testified that
he left Friday of last week to hunt up
horse of Bartley's which had strayed
away, and on his return Wednesday he
could find no trace OF B1rtley or MS man
Bailey. lie reported tho disappearance
to some of the neighbors who began a
search, which resulted in tracing the body
to a slough 400 yards from the building.
Tho water in the slough under the ice
was only Is inches deep and the body was
covered with snow. Had it not been for
the thaw tho body would not have been
found until spring.
Bailey was committed to Jail without
bonds and tho man Mckenzie will also be
arrested. Bailey claims he will be cleared
by the testimony of Mckenzie. The body
when found had the appearance of having
been i'm the water four or five days.
BARLEY was a resident of the neighbor-
hood for n year and half, was 36 years
old, unmarried, and was an industrious
worker. Bailey, when under the influence
of drink. acts peculiar, but when sober his
conduct is above reproach.
Mckenzie claims that BARLEY and
Bailey gambled considerable and he
thinks that was the cause of the murder.
| The county authorities are working dill
| gently on the case and will gather what
| infor nation is obtainable by Monday,
when the preliminary hearing OF Bailey
takes place.
