DETAILS OF FINDING
 OF WILSON'S BODIES

IDITAROD. March 16. Deputy Marshal John R. Kelday arrived from the kuskokwim yesterday and confirmed the report of the find ing of the bodies of John and Gus tave Nelson. the news of which had been brought in by Jim Eagle last Wednesday.
 The bodies had been buried in a grave three feet deep. When ex- humed they were found to be badly decomposed. The men had been shot, but the nature of the wounds the deputy marshal does not care to talk at present, preferriing to await the result of communication which he immediately entered into with Fairbanks upon his arrival.
 Reports brought by Eagle, and gen erally accepted by the public, are to the effect that each of the brothers had been shot through the head.
 The bodies were found on an is- land some distance above the In dian village at the mouth of the Tuluksak. The marshal's party con sisted of himself. Cap Hall an old kuskokwim prospector, and Nes E. Nelson, brother of the murdered men. They were all present when the bodies were exhumed, as were several Indians from the village Nels Nelson had offered a reward of S200 for the finding of the bodies, and the Indians assisted in the search. MT. Nelson himself found the grave, and on that account the In dians were satisfied to receive only half of the reward.
 Previously to the finding of the bodies, the marshars party care fully inspected the dead mems ef- fleets, which had been cached by the murderers on the island four miles below the village-several miles be- low the island upon which the bodies were found The effects were fully identified as having be- longed to the murdered men. The personal papers and letters contained in valises had been ransacked and stuffed back into the valises, indi- eating that robbery was the motive for the murders.
 Bodies Reinterred.
 Before leaving the vicinity, the marshafs party reinterred the bodies being molested of uncovered by dogs being molesed or uncovered by dogs or wild animals It is the intention cf Nels Nelson to send the bodies Outside for final interment after an inquest has been held and the officials have completed their in quiry into the matters relating to the murder
 It will depend on word from Fair banks, which may be received today,

whether the inquest will be held ! on the kuskokwim or at Iditarod. In case it is held al Iditarod. it will be necessary to bring the bodies here
 Other Rumored Grimes. Deputy Marshal kelday was asked what steps would be taken looking toward the investigation of the ru- mors of other murders supposed to have been committed on the Kusko- kwim, especially those to which Wada the Jap has given some attention recently. Of course the deputy could give no definite answer to the , question, but intimated that the mat ters would be gone into, as a matter of course, under instructions from | Fairbanks.
 Besides the Jap trapper, known as Allen. who was undoubtedly murder ed. it is believed, two years ago, and two white men who had met their fate previously to that. the strange disappearance of John Ness. who started from Flat to Georgetown summer before last is recalled Ness is believed to have had nearly $2,. 900 on his person He has never been heard of
 Suspected Parties.
 of bn in this paper last week in the story of inquiries made by Wada the Jap should have been Kline. He is not identical, as some believed, with the man Campbell supposed to have been implicated in the Nelson murders. Neither is the man Coynt. in jail at St. Michael for robberies committed along the Yukon last fall. the same person as Campbell going under an other name; at least in all probabil- lty he is not. Of course the off cials will not talk about the sus- pected parties or their own surmises and conclusions; but the men here h'iiii'u ihNt bttD St Ilutn talked Ot that what is here cited can do no harm.
 The investigation
 Deputy Marshal Kelday left Flat to begin his investigation February |. In one month he had proved that the rumored murder of the Nel- sons was a fact. had found the bod ies, had secured evidence that rob bery was the motive for the crime. and, supposedly had gained evidence pointing to the identity of the guilty parties. This is great deal ac- complished in small time. No of ficial action has been taken before and he and his assistants had to be- gin at the ground. With so much done so quickly, il is hoped the crimes of the Kuskokwim may be sifted to the bottom and the guilty ones brought to justice.
