Mystery Shrouds
Death of George
Hill in New
Mexico

Mystery shrouds the death few
days ago in q lonely section near
Palamosa Springs, N. NJ, Of George
Hill. former resident C. & S. brake
man of this city, whose dead body
was reported found on Tuesday OF
this week. The dead man. son OF
Mr.. and Mrs. James F. Hill of this
city. and a brother-in-law of the well
known C. & S. engineer. William
Corbett, was identified only by a
missing third finger on his left hand
and cards which showed him to be a
member of the B. of B. T., local coun-
Gil No. 63l. Bingham Canon. Utah.
Was he a victim of foul play !?
This is the question bein gasked by
friends and relatives. the police and
coroner.
Palamosa Springs, near where the
body was found, is off the railroad
and 30 miles from San Marcial. What
Hill was doing in that isolated sec
tion cannot be suggested. 1t was not
until yesterday that the father of the
dead man was notified. The body is
due to reach this city tomorrow
morning and the wife and two chill
dren OF the deceased will arrive on
the ID. q r. G. railroad today.
Hill was employed as a brakeman
by the c. a. S. railroad in this city
about six years ago. He made many
friends. He went to Utah, where he
was married about six years ago, and
IL was while railrOadfug in that state
that he suffered the loss of his finger
which was the principal means of
Identification. His relatives here did
not know that lie was anywhere but
at Bingham and were shocked and
amazed to learn of his tragic death
N the section Of the country in
which his body was found.
