MYSTERY
BROUGHT
To LIGHT
Ranchers Dig UP Skeleton
and Find Evidence of
Murder Committed 80
Years Ago

WINONA, July 2.-What is be-
lieved will furnish a clue II not a
solution to mysterious murder
here nearly 80 years ago was un-
earthed Sunday on the old Hunt
ley ranch, six miles west of Win
ona, when H. G. Troup and Frank
Moore dug up the bones of man
on the bluffs near Rock creek.
Friday fthe week before s.
Louy, former employe on the
ranch, remarked to Moore and
Troup that man had been MUIR
dered on the place years ago and
showed them where he had been
buried.
Find Skeleton
They began digging and soon
unearthed well preserved skele-
ton.
They found pipe, shreds of a
blue coat and few other trinkets.
Some of the pioneers of the coun-
ty now recall that a Scotchman
was murdered o nthe place nearly
80 years ago. It is said that the
Scotchman, whose name could not
be learned, had run sheep In the
country for years and had sold out,
received a large sum in gold and
started with 1t for Sprague.
He did not reach the town and
a search was begun. A few neigh
bors took the matter up and found
what was believed to be the man
buried in the flat near the house.
But as the country was wild and
county government of little con-
sequence at that time, no official
Investigation was made.
Il is believed that the remains
of the man found near the house
were taken and buried ON the
bluff. There was strong talk and
tense feeling among the few stock
men in the country at that time,
but the matter was finally
dropped.
The coroner of Whitman county
has been notified and came down
from Colfax today to probe the
matter.

Mrs. e. X. Wattn, aged 80, wife
Of well known business man of
Puyallup, attempted suicide this
morning by taking carbolic acid.
Mr.. Watts left home at the usual
time this morning and an hour
later he received telephone call
fro m his wife asking him to hur-
ry home. He reached the house
in less than fifteen minutes and
found his wife In agony as the
result of large dose of carbolic
avid. She soon became Hncon-
scious and though every known
remedy was applied, the physicians
pronounced the case hopeless.
Mrs. Watts was an unusually
pleasant and affable woman. To
her friends she never gave any
signs of dependency but relatives
say that for several months she
has worried over business Affairs
and what she feared to be indiea-
tions of the deelopment of a SER
ious chronic ailment. 1t is be
lieved that her mind became un-
balanced through continually
brooding over these matters.
MIR. and Mrs. Watts are old

with colors and swarming with

were also IL, evidence.
Cornell q Favorite.
The betting on the main event
OF the day~-the varsity eight-oar-

No one of the I've contending
crews ruled a pronounced favorite.
Cornell, possibly, was favored by
the majority o the wise specnla-
tors, but the other crews carried
goodly amounts when they rowed
to, the starting line.
The victory OF Syracuse over
Annapolis, and Pennsylvania s
early victory over Yale, evidently
served to boost the stock of these
two eignfs. Coach Rice of Column

would capture the honors. and in

was supported almost ON par
with Cornell.
