A Chastity Find.

The body of the missing man, Jo-
seph KING, was found Wednesday
night by some fishermen, in their net
which was cast off Percival's dock.
The net, which had been placed dur
ing the day, at the southern section of
the wharf was hauled in about 6
o'clock, and when drawn up on the
beach the fishermen became aware of
their uncanny find. After light had
been procured no trouble was expert
enced in identifying the body as that
of the man who disappeared several
weeks ago, and for whom persistent
search has been made by his friends.
The body was in an excellent state of
preservation, and the clothes worn by
deceased at the time of his disappear
ance were upon him. An abrasion of
the skin on the right side OF the head
it is thought was caused by crabs
which had begun to eat the flesh.
KING was, so far as is known, without
relatives in this part of the country.
He came here from Spokane about
nine years ago. A Coroner's inquest
held yesterday determined that death
was probably due to accident, as the
