Instead of transacting his business

The Butte police have a ma under
arrest who is charged with being the
murderer of Sheriff Young of Park
county, at Springdale, a year ago this
month. The prisoner is known as
Patrick Dougherty, alias Hugh Boyle,
and a woman makes the charge
against him. The man was arrested
on complaint of the woman, as he
had written her threatening letters
for refusing to enter the life CT shame
he had mapped out for her. After the
fellows arrest she told the clerk Of
the police court a story in which she
said the prisoner had confessed to her
that he was the man who killed Young,
alleging as a reason therefore that
Young had arrested him once. The
man is said to have a scar similar to
the one observed on Young's slayer,
but they do not take much stock in
the murder story believing that the
prisoner told it to the woman in order
to brighten her into yielding to his
demands.

was blown off. The bones were all
found on top Of the earth, attempt at
c%oncealing the body having evidently
not been made.
In addition to the testimony which
has been made public, the officers
claim to have more, which they are
keeping back for the present. They
express the belief that Hunter has
been connected with other crimes, a
belief that they say is borne out by
letters found in his possession. His
daughter has been subpeonaed as a
witness and at last accounts it had
been decided to continue the inquest
until after her arrival at P~hilipsburg.

LOOKS BAD FOR HUNTER.
Skeleton of His Alleged Victim Is
Found,

Although when arrested here by
alias Myers" denied that he had
ever been in the western part of the
state, when he got there with the
sheriff of Granite county, he admitted
that he had travelled through that
section with his son-in-law, whom he
is accused of having murdered. This
admission was considered as impor-
tant and when on top of this his
daughter, wife of his alleged victim,
told her story the officers were GER
tain that they had made nc mistake.
Now comes further evidence of Hun
ters' guilt.
After having learned where the per-
ty had camped, the sheriff of Granite
county made a search Of the ground
and last Saturday succeeded in find
ing the skeleton of a man at a point
about a mile from Flint Greek falls
and half a mile from where Hunter

man whom he is charged with having
killed, went away and the last time
Walbridge was seen. A pair of over
alls, identified as those which Wal
bridge wore the day he and Hunter
left the camp, were found near the
skeleton, as were also a pair of
trousers, the latter under the ~overalls
and stained with blood. A handker-
chief was also found and the under
blood stained and near the part which
had covered the heart appeared a cut.
as if made with a knife.
All the clothes have been identified
as. those which Walbridge wore and
the cuts in them are taken as bear
ing out the story as told by Wal
bridges wife that when her father re-
turned to camp without Walbridge his
hunting knife was covered W it'll blood.
She states that the dead man wore
no coat when he and her father walk
ed away and the fact that no such gar
ment was found near the bones is ac-
cepted as another link in the chain
of evidence which the officers say they
have forged about the prisoner. Near
by a pocketbook was found, but hav-
ing been exposed so long to the ele-
ments, it fell to pieces when picked
up.
Hunter was informed of the finding
of the skeleton, but refused to make
any statement, saying he had nothing
to say until after he had consulted
with his lawyer. He admitted having
changed his name since leaving those
parts, but claimed he had done so be
cause he was afraid of his wife.
An inquest was begun over the
bones last Saturday. Careful exami
nation disclosed the skeleton to be
complete, with the exception of the
top of the skull, which was missing
but as several small pieces Of bone
were found nearby. it is believed tina
