The discovery was made by two farm
hands employed at the Gorton Arnold
place. who were driving by.
One OF them, Irving Stone. suddenly es-
pied the body OF man lying at the side
of the road, apparently either in stupor
or dead
Alighting from the wagon they ex-
amned the body and were Mortified TO find
an ugly bullet wound I'm the right temple /:
and also Immediately they noted the tell
tale revolver that apparently explained
what at first seemed to them TO be mys-
terry.
A further examination OF the body dis
closed the fact that Mr. Bush had no
money on his person. and nothing else of
value.
In one OF his pockets. however. was
found a card OF Providence Lodge OF Elks
bearing the name OF William NJ Bush
and this served at once 10 idetify the body
Mr. Bush was well dressed, and nothing
about the appearance OF the body was
sufficiently unusual TO attract special at
