MURDER AT FORT Ass1NN1Bo1NE.
Discharged Soldier Is Accused OF q Most
nastardly Crime.

Advices from Fort Ass%inniboine
state that the coroner's inquest in the
case of Riley l.. Huff, who was found
dead in his room a few days ago. re.
suited in a verdict of murder, the &C.
cused being Edward Mason. who first
reported the finding of the body. AS
the crime was committed on a military
reserv alton, the defendant will be tried
in the federal court.
The evidence developed at the in.
quest indicates a foul murder and
points to Edward Mason as being the
guilty party or knowing a lot about
the crime. The men occupied adjoin.

airy and was employed as a carpenter.
Mason, on the contrary, is said to
have been di%shonorably discharged
and worked as a plumber. II is
claimed HUFF bore an excellent reputa.
ton and was saving his money to go
east, to kentucky. He is reported to
have had about 800 which he kept up
on his person.
The fact that Mason visited Havre
Wednesday and returned to the fort
Saturday after spending no little
money playing slot machines, then re.
ported the finding of Huf's body,
looks bad for him. The evidence
showed tina. HUFF was sitting at his
stand in the center of his room writing
a letter dated Sept. II. and while do
ing SO was struck from behind ia the
head. The pen was found broken.
with a large blot on the writing sheet,
and the lamp lay broken. After rob.
Ding his victim the murderer went out
through Hutf,s room, locking all
doors. Investig alton showed Mason'-
time in Havre was consumed in play
ing slot machines and spending money
literally and flashing $40 bills, also
where ne had pawned Hutf's watch for
$40.
Since the crime occurred on the mil.
itary reserv alton Mason will be turned
over TO the United States marshal and
his case will be tried in the federal
court IN Helena. This is the first de-
liberate murder ever occurring in the
vicinity. Soldiers have been snot
over gambling and drinking rows.

perpetrated at Fort Assinniboine since
