held an inquest over the remains of the
man found dead near the railroad track
east OF Minidoka week ago, and the
Jury decided that the man came to his
death at the hands OF party or par

tity as William Hutchinson, ana
showed that he had been herding sheep
for parties in Cassia county up to a
short time before his death. A late
entry in the diary showed that William
