Quits This Troubious Word.

On last sunday afternoon, Young
lad known in the viciuity Of White
River as "kuott's boy" visited the
cabin of +. d. Galley and was horrii!sd
to find the occupant iying Gu tie floor
apparently dead.
The boy Immediately alarmed tile
neigiborho0d. and County Judge Fore
man. George S. Witter and Others re-
paired to Calle,'s cabin, which is
located near the river a short distance
below White River postotiicc, and
there, true 10 the boys report, found
the owner lying on his back dead. The
means OF death and the manner OF Mr.
Calley's taking of were plainly visible.
Deceased had spread u blanket on the
cabin floor aud sitting down on it with
his legs crossed tailor fashion, had
placed the butt of the rifle on the floor
and the muzzle TO his head. The bullet
entered between the eyes and made g
horrible hole. Death must have been
instantaneous. Deceased's rifle WIS
lying length-ways with the body-the
muzzle touching the face.
Everything was left as found and
Coroner Niblcck notified of the tragedy
|
That official went to White River Mon.
day morning and returned to Meeker
with the remains that evening. He
viewed the body in company with Judge
quest unnecessary; all evidence clearly
pointed to deliberate case of suicide.
Deceased was last seen alive when he
left Wi;,er's store at White River about
noon Saturday. Tie seemed to be il
good spirits then. Why he should end
his career in the prime of life Will prob
ably always remain mystery. He was
about 50 years of age and fine speci
men of physical manhood.
Mr.. Galley lived in this valley abou.
two years. He worked for different
parties and was very much liked by all
with whom he came in contact. Dur
ing the present winter he put in his
time trappipg-an occupation lie liked
to follow
Deceased was born, it is said, in
Utica, n. Y, and lived near Linden.
Kas., before coming to White River val
ley. He left some property in Kansas.
Coroner Niblock provided hand
some casket for the remains and in
every way assisted the friends Of the
dead man in seeing to it that he was ac
corded Christian burial.
Previous to the interrnent in High
land cemetery, services over tie re-
mains were held in st. James Church
by Rev. Mr.. Handel.
Z. D. Galley died among strangers,
but his body was consigned to the grave
with as much consideration as though
he had passed away among his kindred.
