UNTER LIVES;
KYRISS VICTIM
dy Is Identified as That of a
Spokane Man

to draw his money out OF the bank,
made him intoxicated, and then pre-
vailed upon him to come up on the
night train to this city. II is be-
lieved that he was lured away under
some pretext to Tubbs hill, and
there murdered and robbed, and his
body thrown into the lake. Munich
visited the place where the body
and coat and hat were found, and
closely examined it with the view
of securing some clue which would
lead to the identity of the robber
and assassin, but was unsuccessful
The thOry has been suggested that
he was murdered nearer the city
than at the place where he was
found, but it is maintained that the
coat and hat found near the place
initiates against this theory, and
they would indicate that the crime
occurred near where they were
found.
One of the strange and unex-
plainable features attached to the
case is the finding of the murdered
mans hat and coat near where his
body was found. Those who have
interested themselves in the case
have sought to account for this in
divers ways, but at the best they
are but vague theories constructed
on a few scattering evidences sur
rounding the death of the man, and
until further developments reveal
the facts, nothing certain or definite
will be known as to the cause, and
the manner which the man met his
death.
The fact was fully established
that whoever the man is, he is not
Fred Hunter, and this tends to con-
firm the Identification as Kyriss.
The fact was established yesterday.
when representatives of the Press,
together with acting Chief of Police
OFT made a visit in a launch to the
Hunter home at Powderhorn bay.
The public in general has shown so
much interest in the case. and the
officials of the sheriff's Office at
Rathdrum shown so much slowness
and inactivity with relation to it,
and so much uncertainty lowered
about the identity of the man, some
maintaining positively that 1t was
Hunter, and others that 1t was not,
that the Press concluded to make
an investigation of the matter, and
to that end the trip was made. The
Hunter home was visited and as he
observed the launch land he came
down to the lake side and greeted
those among the party whom he
knew, and it was then that he
heard for the first time of his re.
ported death and the finding of the
body in the lake, and that he had
been identified by parties who were
well acquainted with him, who had
known and lived beside him fol
years as the man. In both the case
of Brady and of Hunter. parties
who were we'll acquainted with them
as near and as close to them as mel
generally become in their relations
with each other in a friendly and
business way. positively identified
him as the man. and It was no
until they were convinced tina
both men were alive tina
they would believe that thei
Identification was erroneous. II
view of these previous POSITIVE
identifieations OF the man. there ar
many who are disinelined to believ'
the Identification of the man kyris
until further proofs to the same ef
feet have been made by other partie
who knew and were close to hin
during his life time.
