man of carpenters at the dam, and ne
told them that Quinlen had had a quarrel
with Mr.. Brown, the general foreman,
and had quit work. The two men ac-
curately described the clothing OF the

there could be no mistake. They salo

ously roOmed.
7. H. Harper, engineer at the dam, was
communicated with by telephone, and a
description of the dead man and his
clothes was given him. Before the cap
had been mentioned, he asked:

And being answered in the affirmative,
he said there could be no doubt that the
man was George Quinlen, who had been
employed at the dam as a teamster. Mr..
Harper did not know when he lett, or
whether he had any money.
The two daughters of Martin Eddy,

house on Sunday evening and talked of
the finding of a dead body near Missoula
gulch. The stated that on Saturday

they heard loud talking near the railroad
tracks, but could not locate the exact
position of the noise nor ear any portion
of the conversation. Some time later
they heard Mr.. Boyle ScaVenSef wagon
pass on the road, but they did not con-
meet Mr.. Boyle's presence there at that
time with the murder. Fuller evidently
jumped at conclusions in the matter.
