Found in Old Mining Cut
Where It Has Been for
Many Days.
TURNED POCKETS POINT
TO MYSTERIOUS CRIME
Supposition Is That Man Was Murdered
for Money and Thrown Into Aban-
doned Cut-Was Seen Twelve DAYS
Ago With Two Neeroes-Nothing
Found That Identifies Him and Body
Is Badly Decomposed.

Bloated and blackened by exposure to
the elements, with the face grimy and
beyond the possibility OF recognition is
the partial description of the body of an
unknown man found and now lying in
Richards undertaking rooms in West
Park street awaiting Identification
Claude Carey, young son of d. c.
Carey, who lives in the hills short dis
tance west of the old Colorado concen-
traitor, two miles from Butte, found the
body about ? o'clock this morning, and
there is every indication that another mur-
der has been added to Buttes already long
list of dark tragedies.
This theory of murder is borne out by
the fact that one Of the pants pockets
OF the dead man was found turned inside
out. There was not n cent of money in
the clothing or scrap of paper by which
the body could be identified, and unless
some one in Butte can come to the rescue
and tell who he was the body will fill an
unknown grave.
Finding the Body.
Young Carey was on horseback looking
for the family cows, which had strayed
away during the night when he found
the corpse. 1t was in an open mining cut
five or six feet deep and probably 20 feet
long, and to all appearances it had been
there 10 or IL days. The face was
turned upwards and the repose was one
indicating sudden collapse. The body was
badly decomposed and emitted such a
sickening odor that the young man did not
stop to make an investigation. He noti-
fed his father at once, and the latter went
to the Metz mine, half mile distant and
told the foreman, ]. d. Boehme, OF No. FL
West Quartz street. The latter came into
Butte and notified Coroner Johnson and
Undertaken Richards.
Points About the Man.
When the coroner arrived he made an
examination Of the surroundings, but
found nothing out of the ordinary save
the tracks of the horse which young
Carey had ridden close to the cut in
which the body lay. If the man was
murdered and made a fight for his life
all traces of an encounter had been OBJ
liberated by the recent storms.
In such frightful condition was the
body that the clothing had to be cut from
il. In the inside pocket OF the coat was
found key, new razor, pocket knife,
red handkerchief and small envelope
containing half a dozen new pen points
that had been bought at the Golden Rule
Bazaar, kept by Charles T. Lomas at No.
So7 East Park street The envelope bore
the brand fthc seller. The pens had
not rusted, and the fact that they were
bought in this city shows that whoever
the unfortunate man might have been he
was in Butte not great while ago.
Seen With Negroes.
Another thing bears out the MUIR
der theory is the fact that James G. Vier,
who lieves near the old Colorado concen-
traitor, says that about 10 or Ia days
ago he saw the man and two negroes
sitting on log near the concentrator.
He does not know what became of them.

MURPHY & CO.. COTTON LETTER.

ed absence of rain, every station so far
as heard from when the market open
ed reporting dry weather; moreover. 1t
was known that the mercury early In
the day was lowering in the nineties at
certain points in Texas and as this
state naturally attracts great attention
the curse OF the market was shaped BY
the frequent reports from that state.
While the trade is extremely nervous
and disposed to support the market
there Is no wild scramble to buy just
yet On the contrary, a very eonserva-
tive spirit prevails since IL Is conceded
that rain Is not yet absolutely needed
in most states. However, IL Is also
conceded that the crop Is not doing 80
well because of the dry weather and the
mere possibility OF deterioration has
given bulls ontrol of the market until
weather conditions nav changed. The
market ruled dull and kept within a
narrow range after h opening. The
short interest Is claimed to be large. but
IL is evident that they are far from
scared. Bull support was lacking 10

COTTON

New York, June 1.-THE cotton mar
ket opened firm and 3 to 5 points high
er. Immediately following which there
was a further improvement of 1 to 8
points on active general buying in
which shorts and Europe figured quite
prominently. The commission houses,
however, were tardy buyers at the
higher prices and prominent Wall street
interests sold he August position for
a reaction. The dominating influences
at the start were dry weather reports
from pretty TdCh the whole belt, a
forecast for continued fair weather
south and firm Liverpool cables. For
the rest of the day the market was a
whimsical affair at best, frequently de-
Ginning and advancing or the slightest
provocation. A sudden lull in outside
support n proft-taking caused a
slump after all acute upward move
ment.
Still later there was a rapid owe
followed by a fresh downward move
ment under rumors of showers in west
ern Texas. Early in the afternoon the
market rallied somewhat, but once
more at the close under a
general movement of longs to secure
profits, the final bids at about the bot
tom for the day. The crop reports re-
ceived were ge. rally bearish, noting
SOt0 SIdHCS, well cultivated nGlQS, ana

ditions, however. led to fears of a pos
sible drouth IL it was on this that
shorts ran for cover at the beginning
of the session rather than fear of ac-
tual damage to the crop at the present
time. The close was barely steady,
with Junt 5 points higher and the later
months 4 to Z POINTS lower. Total sales
were about 100. 900 bales.
