district. The next day Boulley was
shot.
Confirmation Of the story that the
squatter drove his wife from home is
furnished by the fact that she went
down the river on the steamer Colfax
from the head Of navigation Monday.
The supposition Is that she was headed
for Spokane.
sympathizers with BouiIey deny
the story that bis death was due to
ENHANCEMENT with the woman. That
story, they declare, was put in cir
culatiOn by the squatters to relieve
Themselves of responsibility for the
murder.
Ia contradiction TO the story, IL
10 also claimed that the sqnatteF was
ut the head Of navigation when the
news Of the killing Of Boulley arrived.
He IL reported TO have said: "AII
right; 1t saved me from killing him. -
Boulley was an aEowed timber
/ jumper He had worked in various
camps IN this section for about four
years. He vent TO the Marble creek
district and jmped an unsurvered
claim last May aud was among the
first Of the jumpers to arrive in the
district. Squatters claim that he
was not content with jumping claims
himself but that he located other
jumpers who came into the district
on valuable timber claims.
! That Edward BouIet, or BOulley
met his death ct the hands Of angry
and reveugeful squatters and not at
the hands Of an aveuging husband, Is
the belief Of Sheriff Charles Marley
aud Coroner Keys Of Shoshone
county, who came down the 81. Joe
river from the scene of the murder
Wednesday and returned to Wsllace.
Deputy Sheriff Elliott was with them.
/ So far as known the party Of
officials were the last to leave Marble
creek district, and they do not con-
firm the story OF the finding Of the
bullet riddled body Of Frank Tayler,
the jumper who hes been missing for
two weeks.
sheriff Marley did not make any
arrests. His Hnst act was to investi-
gate the story that George Bruun, 3
squaiier hsd killed Boullet out OF
jealousy. He satisfied himself that
E3ruun could not have been at the
scene Of the murder when IL was
comm tilted.
His next act wss TO secure an old
