Was Ii Murder q?

On Wednesday Joe Estrada visited
the cabin of Miguel Mendoza, ain
aged Mexican wood chopper, in Lit
tie Squaw. creek, about II miles
south of town, and was shocked to
find him dead and in an advanced
state of decomposition.
Estrada reported the facts to the
Coroner and "a jury was taken to the
scene. ~
Men ioza was found lying on his
back on the bed. His body was per-
fecty straight, bis arms stretched
full length parallel with the body, in
u very natural position.
What makes this a mysterious case
is the fact that rope was fastened
around the dead mans neck. The
rope was about ten feet Ions. and the
moose was made with slip knot.
The other end Of the rope was coiled
under the dead mans body. A hole
was found in the base of the skull
that resembled bullet hole, but ":
ing to decomposition and the ravages.
of rats it is difficult to determine the
cause of it.
There was little meal, some beans
and coffee at the cabin. No knives,
forks or other articles usually kept
in cabins were found-not even u
pocket knife, nor anything of value.
Deceased owned two pack horses and
a good saddle. The animals have
been found. but there is no trace of
the saddle
Why any one should kill the old
man is mystery. Yet it seems inn
possible that it is case of suicide or
natural death. His body was lying
as though it had been placed there
by other hands
Mendoza was last seen in Haw-
Hawthorne on August 2Sth, and it
believed he has been dead over a
month. lie was native OF Tatuco,
Mexico, aged about 10 years.
Tho Coroner's jury returned.a YER
diet that Mendoza came to his death
by violence at the hands of some per-
son or persons unknown to the jury
