X FORT DOUGLAS ITEMS.

The dead body found on Thursday in
ravine near the magazine at Fort
Douglas was identified yesterday at 10
o'clock at the pest hospital, by a son
of the deceased, as Henry Pussy, re-
tired blacksmith who was resident of
D street, this city.
The coroner visited the post but con-
Guided not to hold an inquest, and the
remains were turned over to the rela-
tives of the deceased, being taken to
Taylor's Pioneer undertaking estab-
lishment.
The cause of his death can only be
conjectured 1t is evident there was no
foul play and that the deceased came
to his death from natural causes. There
seemed to be no reason for his visit
to the locality where the body was dis
covered by the barking of young Scar
borough's dog, when they were out for
walk about o'clock Thursday even
ing. A number of explanations are
offered as to the cause of Pusey's
death. The most plausible is that he
had wandered away from home and
was afflicted with heart failure while
walking along the edge of the ditch,
and falling over the bank rolled down
into the water and was drowned. For
year he had been partially paralyzed
on the right side.
James Scarborough, who discovered
! the remains, is a young Englishnran,
who has Travelled all over the country.
He says this makes the fourth body he
has found within the last five years.
! Prisoner Granlee is expecting to be
pardoned by the president in a few
days. The secretary of war has re-
mitted three years of his sentence,
but the pardon must be signed by the
president.
