Perlshed from Exposure,

Coroner Morgan returned Friday
from holding an inquest on the
skeleton of the man found on Indian
Creek a few days ago. He had the
bones brought to the Old Counor ranch
and buried them there. The iurv
found a verdict that the remains were
those OF James Owens, an American
by birth, aged about 60 wears. and
that he came to his death by being
lost in the mountains during a severe
snow storm and was probably frozen
TO dealh.
The skeleton was found at the head
OF Indian Creek between the Madris
road and North Fork. All the bones
were found but the lower Jaw. A
package of letters was found which
leaves no doubt as to the identity of
the remains.
Owens left Madris for Deetb on the
18TH OF January, 1894, in a binding
snow storm and was never heard
from until his remains we're found a
snort time ago. Suspicion that he
had been fouly dealt with by a for.
mer resident Of Madris has been set
aside by the finding Of his remains
and the evidence produced at the
trial Independent.
