FINDS DEcAPITATED BODY.
CHASTITY Discovery Of Boy Fishing
In Sinking Water.

F. E. Gilmore of Cody, Wyo., who
is in the city today awaiting the ar
rival of Mrs. Gilmore from the west,
tells a story of an undoubted murder
that would delight a Sherlock Holmes
were he entrusted with the duty OF
unraveling the mystery attending it.
Mr.. Gilmore says that last week a
boy was fishing in the Sinking Water
at Eagle Nest and while so engaged
was frightened almost unto death by
beholding the body of a man lying in
the water Of the river directly in
front of him. After he had recovered
from his first fright he examined the
CHASTITY object closer and noticed that
the corpse was minus it's head, which
had apparently been severed with
some sharp instrument.
The boy gave the alarm at the
Eagle Nest ranch and the body was
taken from the stream. A constable
at Garland was deputized to act as
coroner and held an inquest. Moth
ing was found on the body to assist
in it's Identification and it was hastily
buried near the spot where it was
discovered. 1t was very evident that
it had been in the water only a short
time, as the underclothing was still
clean. while a white shirt that cover
ed it had become so little water soak
ed that much of the starch still re-
manned in the bosom.
The place where the body was re-
covered is about 20 miles from Cody.
Some of those who learned of>the dis
covery were inclined to think that
the corpse was that of a sheepherder,
who is known to have left Cody a
few days before. He drew consider
able money from the bank and de-
parted on the train. The supposition
is that some one who had knowledge
of this followed him and as the train
runs slowly at that point, dragged
the man off and then to the river,
where he murdered him and mutilated
the body to prevent identification.

no bidding for loans; i'm short, it is a
savings bank loaning money to its
depositors and at the same time pay

ordinary banks ever do.

ATTEMPTED TRAIN ROBBERY.
Believed to Have Been Made Near
Miles City.

Miles City, Aug. ga 15-car spe-
cial, which arrived in Miles City about
2 a.. m. Sunday, escaped from what is
believed to have been an intended
holdup. A brakeman who stepped out
on the rear platform, when about 80
miles east of here, was confronted
with a revolver held by a man who
got on at Glendive, and the brake
man was ordered back into the car.
Passengers who ventured out were
also driven back. Roadmaster Ben
Johnson was on the train and stopped
it and %telegraphed to Sheriff Savage
at Miles City to meet it. Savage did
so and stationed his men for the end
of a 15-car freight, not knowing it
was a passenger train.
The result was they were too close
to the station and when the train
slowed up the would-be train robber
jumped off at the section house and
johnson ran after him. johnson grab
bed him and started choking him,
but he got away and both fired two
shots. Then the holdup disappeared
around the car house and was not
seen afterwards, though the sheriff
kept his men up till late Sunday morn
ing searching all trains, which were
boarded by Johnson and stopped by
his orders about three miles from
town.
