IDAHO MAN MURDERED.


wallace Tobacco Merchant Found with
Hts Skull Crushed.
Matthew Mailey, cigar dealer of
wallace, was murdered in his store
Monday morning. and the officers have
found no clue 10 the murderer. Just
before o o'clock in the morning a
passer-by saw his body lying near I'll .
rear Of his cigar store. and notified the
officers.
Both doors were locked. and blood on
the hoor caused the belief that he ha.l
committed suicide. When the door
was forced open it was found that his
throat was cut and his skull crushed in
three places. An iron bar, eighteen
inches long, lay between the body,
which was covered with blood. A
towel had been tied around the head,
evidently for gag.
An examination OF the premises
showed that the safe was locked, the
money drawer undisturbed and watch
was on the corpse. The body was
yet warm. but death had occurred some
time before. Nothing was missing
from the store except the key to the
door, the murderer evidently taking it
with him and locking the door.
One witness saw the deceased enter
the store with a tall, slim man about 6
o'clock. Mailey had lived in the Coeur
dAlenes about fifteen years, and had
no known enemies.
