Wagnitz was found Wednesday,, last
week, 20 miles below the Belknap
bridge, where he was last seen, in the
Missoula river ant: near the town of
Noxon. A coroner's inquest was held
over the body and the jury returned
a verdict that Wagnitz had been killed
by some per son to the jury unknown.
The head of the dead man was crushed
in by some blunt instrument and his
lungs had no water in them at all,
proving conclusively that he was dead
when thrown into the river. DIR. Buck
ley, physician of the Northern Pacific
ut Missoula, held the autopsy upon
the remains and gave it beyond
doubt that Wagnitz was dead before
he was put into the river and probably
died from the effects of the crushed
skull. The watch and all the valu-
ables of the dead man were missing.

ton of gaiety girls, music and fun
and, although it contains an origi-
nal score of eighteen numbers and
borders in light opera, nevertheless
it admits of many high class spec
ialties and is presented by an organi-
cation of so people.
"a Night on Broadway lays but
little claim to a plot, and is presen-
ted for the sole purpose of producing
laughter, beauty and song, coralling
ali the refreshing clements of gor-
seous scenery, brilliant costumes,
Jolly nonsense, enhancing music and
a dashing chorus of youthful forms,
with beautiful faces and sparkling
eyes.
Miss Kitty Beck, handsome and
bewitching little lady, has been en-
gagged to play the Grst part. From
all the glowing accounts the public
may justly expect performance of
merit.
