Johnny Farrell was down from
Pinegrove few days this week.
He has about $50 tons of ore from his

before for the mountains, to gather
pinenuts. The crop is said to be
fairly good, and the dusky sons and

Neither Robbery or Revenge, According

Working on the Case.

Efforts are being made to open the
nrildrod case again because of the recent
developments and it is not improbable
that Coroner johnson will call for an
other examination early next week.
Seldom III the history OF the city has
case attracted such attention as the
mysterious death of the president of the
Moders' Union.
There are some who maintain that as at
hrst supposed the death was due to heart
failure and to the fact that Grindrod had
been drinking more than usual during
the previous week, but against this the
ory there stands the indisputable evidence
OF Prof. Traphagen OF the Bozeman col
iege, who showed by his analysis that he
found morphine in the stomach OF the
dead man.
Motive for Murder.
There was 10 doubt in the minds of the
coroner's jury which brought in yer
duct that James Grindrod died from NOR
phine poisoning, although the men who
composed the jury were unable TO deter
mine by whom the poison had been adj
ministercd.
Perhaps the most nyterious phase OF the
case is the apparent lack OF motive.
If it was robbery, the murderers could
not have known much of the life and
habits of the dead man, as he was never
known to carry and considerable amount
OF money with him.
II the motive was revenge there has
been no definite and tangible evidence pro-
duced that he had the ill-will of any one.
