Officers Suspect Inflow.
That Caleb A. Inflow killed man
four months before the murder of Ed
de- White is the belief entertained
by members Of the sheriff s force. In
vestigations have been under way at
Bingham for some time and officers pro
fess decided belief that Inflow is re-
sponSible FOR the death at that place on
June II of Andrew Erickson. Erickson
discovered a man said to be Inlow in
the act of stealing ore samples from
the United States mine. A few nights
later be was found dead, bullet hole
In his head revealing the method of his
murder
Money and other valuahes on Erck-
son S person were not taken and the
officers believe the man was killed to
prevent his giving testimony against
the ore thief. The state s theory in the
White case is that Inflow killed him for
a like reason and the similarity of the
two cases is considered striking,
