Mysterious Death at Lewistown

LEWISTOWN, Oct. 3.-The body of
Ernest Bailey. a well known and very
popular young man, wa found in his
room at oOn today under circum-
stances indicating suicide, although
at this time the officers are strongly
inclined to think he was a victim OF
foul play.
The body was in a sitting posture
against a door, a rope had been
passed over the door knob with a
moose about the neck, the other end
being tied around the thigh. If i,
were suicide, Bailey, after making
these preparations, had simply re-
Taxed his body and s%trangled to death
at leisure.
Because Of the position of the body
and the fact that on arising this morn.
ing Bailey was in good spirits and
made ready to 60 to work, although
he did not leave the house with the
others, the officers are inclined to dis.
credit the suicide theory.
Bailey was % years of age, unmar-
ried, and was in easy circumstances.
He was we'll known as az amateur
athlete. He has q brother residing
near here, who is a prosperous ranch
er, and has other relatives in the
state.
