|MLAY'S BODY RECOVERED.
WAS FOUND NEAR THE COPPER
PLANT YESTERDAY.
Was Drowned While Trying to Gross
the Jordan River-Justice Nielsen
Makes An Investigation.

The body of young Frank Inlay
who was drowned in the Jordan river
on Friday, was found yesterday. The
body was discovered on the bank of
the river at a point near the copper
plant, short distance below the place
he was supposed to have attempted to
cross. A searching party made the
discovery, and the body was immedi-
ately conveyed to the home of the de-
ceased's parents.
1t is still a mystery as to how the
accident occurred. The only reason
able explanation of it is that after de-
livering the message he had taken out,
Inlay started Tor home. When he
reached the place above the copper
plant he determined to cross the river.
The animal was forced into the water,
when he suddenly became unmanage-
able and threw his rider into the wa
ter. The boy was unable to swim, and
consequently drowned.
The parents of the boy are Frustrated
over his death. for he had always been
4 good, honest and affectionate son.
The remains were taken to the under
taking establishment of Joseph Will
liam Taylor The funeral will be held
from the Sixteenth ward meeting
house at 4 p. m today.
Justice Nielsen viewed the remains
yesterday ale n on ana examine three
witnesses. Thomas e. JeIe4l -..-..-y
Inlay, his mother, and Belle INLAY, a
sister. but as there appeared nothing
of a criminal nature in the cause of
his death, the justice decided that it
was unnecessary to incur the expense
of holding an inquest, since il was
clear case of accidental drowning.
He is Of the opinion, from the evil
dence given. that the boy rode up to
water the horse, whose front feet
probably sank in the sand, and in Civ
ing a Iurch the animal might have
thrown the boy over into the creek.
IN MEMORY OF FRANK INLAY.
So soon our friend is dead and gone.
he sleeps TO-DAY beneath the slth.
Hard was the message of his doom,
With his young life just in the bloom.
The mother and the father dear
Mourn with brothers and sisters here,
Garlands and tributes we would weave,
But still the stricken ones must grieve.
Thinking of him. though he is gone,
They know they'll meet him, one by
one,
He awaits them on that golden shore.
There in the far-off years they'll meet,
Around the blessed mercy seat,
And with him, in that home TO be,
Shall live through all eternity.

Dangerous Apparitions.

Every once in awhile a ghost crops
up in the columns of the daily or week
ly press. This CHASTITY spirit sometimes
assumes the part of a promenader on
some lonely road, who terrifies belated
travellers out of their wits. Few per-
sons credit these blood-curdling ac-
counts of the doings of his ghostship.
but there is a tenement which is I'm
questionably haunted at times. When
a nervous malady attacks the human
tenement, the manifestations are most
appalling, and usually most violent at
night. Sleeplessness, if nervousness is
disregarded, becomes chronic, and the
entire system suffers in consequence.
For disturbance of the nerves Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters is thorough
remedy, as it also is for malaria,
rheumatism, dyspepsia, constipation
and biliousness.

Butte has a distinguished visitor in
the person of Lo 10. the Flathead
chief. Last summer Lo Lo eloped
from the Flathead reservation with the
squaw OF another member of the tribe,
Pierre Joseph by name. Pierre quickly
secured a Winchester and pursued the
flying couple. He caught up to them
at Browns gulch near the city, and
began to pump holes in Lo Lo. The
latter was wounded five times. when
Under Sheriff Jerry Murphy came on
the scene and rescued him. He had
been conveyed to the county hospital.
where he remained for just one week,
and then he appeared on the streets,
looking as if nothing had happened to
MIN. He remained here a few weeks
and then returned to the reservation.
The Sheriff'S office expected to hear
every day that Pierre had killed him.
but he escaped death and made up
with the man who had wounded him.
Before this episode he was known as
the masher of his tribe. but since then
he has given all the sGuaws who
glanced at him the stony glare. He is
now leading citizen of his nation.

He. was. very earnest in his explana

court and Chief GueFin that the officer
was transcendine his duties in thus
rudely breaking up a party. The chief
told him that in 10 cent novels and the
comic papers he had read of such
things being done in mythical ''out

his nine years experience in Great
