that the body was that Of Frank Smith. an old resident of the valley and a | former employe of F. T. Thompson at Summit, but on account of the uncer- tainty of this point it was decided to continue the inquest until Monday evening, when some one could be brought from Thompson's who was more acquainted with the belongings of the dead man and who would assist iii the certain Identification.
 On the following evening c. F. John son. nephew of ThOmpson's who had been reached by phone during the day. arrived and immediately went before the jury and gave his testimony. which showed clearly that the dead man was no other than Frank Smith, a former employe of his uncle. When asked to describe the dead mans clothes and personal trinkets, Johnson's evidence coincided exactly with that given by Deputy Sheriff Bailey and in addition i ne gave the facts which probably ac- count for the mans death He said | that Smith had been working for l Thompson for over two years and that only two or three months ago he had | been let out on account of his queer actions. He was taken on to work again, however, about a month ago,
  ahce from the Thompson place he had | been working very steadily. About a week and half ago though he gave a | few of his personal effects to young Johnson and said he was going to leave | for a while. At that time he was mo- | ticed to be acting a little queeriy put nothing was thought of it and he was allowed to go to Livingstone alone. From that time until the discovery of his dead body in the river on Sunday afternoon, he was never seen alive by any of his friends. It is supposed, and | it is probably the theory upon which the jury went to work, that af,er leav- ing the Thompson place the man must have been seized with an acute fit of temporary insanity and wandered off the road on his way to Livingstone and was drowned.
 It is not believed that he committed suicide for he was sober and happy at all times and the idea of murder seems hardly probable as the dead man had little or no money or valuables on his body when he left for Livingstone. He was never known to have carried mucn of value with him at any time and the Mexicans 10 whom the blame of the crime would undoubtedly have fallen were always more or less friendly with him.
 Smith was a man about 43 years of age and was originally from Boston, where it is said he has excellent fam fly connections. By all who knew him he was considered a man of good hab- its and at all times indus riOus His death was in no way due to the use of liquor as he was at all times a total abstainer. The verdict rendered by the jury was that of accidental drowning. the body having been in the water probably six or ten days at the time of its discovery.

OBJECTED TO REPORTERS.

Her highness the maharanee of Ba- roda. now sOjourning in New York city. complains of being annoyed by report CTS. Why is it the newspapers want to interview me?" she asked. ''I have never been so pursued in my life. The things some of them say about me are not true. It really is too bad. I have refused absolutely to be interviewed here because it is distasteful to me. and besides l cannot see how my opinions would interest American people. Amer lea may be far ahead of India in civili- zation, but in India we would never make visitors to our country so uu- happy by pursuing them as you do here. It may be the way of civiliza- tion, but it is the first time in my life have ever been pursued. l have tray eled in Europe and England and never have my slightest movements been so followed by a curious crowd"

There were a few who could not come of Captain Standage assisted them in making up their minds, and still there were a few who happened to be non commissioned officers whom they could not persuade to some in and it was suggested by some of the company that their straps be taken from them and given to men who seem to take interest in the work.
 All dry goods and grocery stores closed yesterday afternoon.
 Messrs. Lawry and Levy of the Gounod orchestra will give a grand ball in the amusement hall next Friday which is to be their farewell ball. They leave on the sixth for their home in the east. MT. Lawry has been excused from jury duties.

HE UNKNOWN DEAD

Body Identified as That of the Miss.
 ing Frank Smith.

Roosevelt, May 29.-CSpeciaI corre- Sunday afternoon the body of an un- known dead man was found lodged on sandbar in the Salt river about a mile and half above this place From the appearance of the body it had lain in the water for a consid erable length of time as the face was unrecognizablc by it's discoverer, a Mexican, and de- composition was so far advanced that only the merest form of a mans body remained. Word was telephoned to the local officers of the location of the body and by o'clock Deputy Sheriff Bailey was on the ground with several assistants to take care of the remains. On their arrival they saw the utter hopelessness Of the task of trying to remove the body and it was decided to make thorough examination of the remains and 10 remove any articles or papers that might be found that would lead to Identification. This was done and after taking all that was remov- able from his body except his clothes the corpse was rolled in a piece of canvas and buried on the bank of the river a short distance from where it was found.
 On the arrival of Deputy Sheriff Bailey in town a jury was hurriedly summoned by Coroner Evans and all the available evidence was brought in to ascertain the identity of the dead man. From his papers it was sur missed, although not definitely settled

THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
Called Out and Did Some Quick Work
 Yesterday Morning.

A fire alarm was sounded about elev en o'clock yesterday morning and the department responded promptly. The occasion of the alarm was the burning of a small stack of hay in the rear of Walter Johnston's barn back of the Ellingsen building. | was first seen by Thomas Curnow, who sounded the alarm but by the time he had reached the hose house, MT. Johnston and Fred Marsh had coupled together a couple of garden hose and were braVely com batting the flames with a small stream of water. It was small, but effective, and pending the arrival of the fire de- partment they were able to keep the flames in check sufficiently to save the barn. The stream of water from the big hose promptly extinguished the flames and about the only loss was the burning of a small quantity of hay.

 MT. and Mrs. Williams stole a march on their friends. While a wedding was looked for in the course of time, they expected some notice of the event; but in this instance they did not have an opportunity to buy a handful of rice or hunt up an old shoe.
 The bride is the daughter of MT. and Mrs M. J. Forster and was born in Mesa, where she has resided the great CT part of her life. She is pretty. in telligent and popular, with a large circle of friends.
 The groom was born in Kansas, but has resided in Mesa many years. He is the son of John A. Williams. Ernie, as he is familiarly called by his many friends has barely attained his ma jority, but evidently decided to start right by securing a good wife.

A traveller who has just finished a two-year trip around the world was asked what was the most curious thing that had come under his observation.
