CHASTITY DEED
NEAR P0CA7ELLO.

Pocatello, Aug. %. = The body
of man, half consumed by fire,
was found near Downey station yes
terday afternoon The coroner and
sheriff were at once notified, and last
night Coroner Bean and Deputy
Sheriff Griffith left for the scene of
the gruesome find. A telephone
message from Coroner Bean at noon
today gave details Of what seems to
have been murder coupled by q
horrible attempt to cover up a crime.
The remains were found mile and
half north Of Downey station, and
have since been identified as those of
man named Brunce, who was
known as printer in Pocatello years
ago. Kately he has been through
that section of the country as a sort
of strolling tinker. When found
the body was just a mass of roasting
h-blackened almost beyond all
recognition. A burning tie lay
across the body and the charred re-
mains of burnt cloth were over the
face Burning ties had been heaped
around the body and little more
time would have consumed it com
pletely Coroner Bean in his lpves
tigation found three bad cuts on the
head. one above the left eye and two
on the back Of the head. From the
position of the body, be isscoufident
that the man was murdered and then
placed among the burning ties in or
der that all evidences of the crime
might be obllterated. There is, how
ever, no clue of any kind to the per-
petrator of the CHASTITY deed. An
inquest was held this morning and
verdict in accordance with the above
known facts was rendered.

Speaking of the Rapid River min
ing district, the Grangeville Standard
says that probably more permanent
work on small outlay of talk is be-
ing done on Rapid River than any
other locality in Il (aho county.
There is hardly word said of this
district, yet more than $1,000 900 is
being spent there this year on two or
three properties. The work is being
done with view to making mines,
instead of showy prospects, hence
the lack Of notoriety.
The most interesting proposition is
that of the Rankins General Milling
Co, at Pollock. The plant is to be
in operation by the first of November.
1t Is being equipped with a 100 h. p.
water motor and dynamo, tor run
ming the mill, and for lights and
drills. The milling plant has ,
Blake crusher, and two Wallace 70
tary stamp mills, with capacit.
equal to ten stamps. This mill is
new invention, is made in Denver
and is said to be a marvel for cheap
ness to install and Operate. 1t i
especially adapted for mountain use
as no part weighs above 300 pounds

P. B. Wickham is in the city today
from Glen Ullin. He says about the
only considerable loss in that section
was of 100 head of cattle owned by
Phelan and Keogh that were ranging
on Knife river. They got away from
the ranch during the storm. There
were a few small losses of sheep in the
ne;ghborhood of Glen Ullin, caused
mostly by defective sheds and the suf-
4fccation of the animals
It is reported today that the Will
ton brothers loss of sheep is little
less than 200 head. instead of 400 as
reported yesterday. It is likely that
as later and more reliable reports come
in the losses all around will be con-
siderably reduced.
It is reported the staley brothers
lost Twenty-Five head of cattle in the
sform. at the ranch near Roach.

tions for the lower Mississippi.
Several members took advantage of
the latitude allowed in general debate
to discuss other topics. Mr.. Shook
CO., spoke in opposition to the ship
subsidies; Mr.. Lewis (Ga.) favored
tariff revision, and Mr.. Powers (Mass)
advocated irrigation in the West.

ed the scheme for the improvement
OF the Cumberland river
Mr.. Burgess (Tex.) declared that the
people of the country received more

Dor bill than from that in any other
bill acted upon by congress.
Mr.. Burton, in charge of the bill, in
closing the general debate, answered
the criticisms advanced against it.
