who disappeared from Livingston dur

body was recovered last Tuesday near
Big Timber, where it was found in
the river by some boys who were fish

Examination showed that the
neck vas broken and a large wound
was found over the left temple. Riley's
p~ocketbook, in which he is believed to
had considerable money when
last seen alive, was found cut open

that remained on the body was a sill
yer dollar, which was in one of the
hip pockets.
