the trail.
Just before reaching Clarkia
they lost their way and turned off
onto the Clearwater trail. They
had a lantern and we're examin-
ling the trail when suddenly they
were ordered to throw up their
hands. A man called out: "If
you are looking for me l am here
and have got the liquor. l have
la gun too and if you want the
liquor come and get it," They
assured him that they were not
looking for him and informed him
that they were bringing a body
into town. After assuring him
self that such was the case the
bootlegger directed them into
town.
It appears that officers had been
trailing him from the Montana
border and he became aware OF
the fact and gave them the slip.
The officers arrived the next day
but i'm the meantime the man had
disposed of the liquor and made
his escape.

Find Skeleton
At Cherry Creek
BODY FOUND NEAR RAILROAD TRACF
Man Had Evidently Been Dead For Eight Months
mo Means OF Identification

Some excitement was caused
Wednesday morning by a report
that the body of a murdered man
had been discovered in the bushes
along the railroad track near
Cherry Creek. The coroner, Dr.
C. J. Kinsolving, was notified and
went to the place in company with
the undertaken. Arriving there
they found the skeleton of a man.
No clothing was found on the
bones or anywhere in the vicinity
and not a mark of any kind could
be discovered by which the re-
mains could be identified. At
first it was thought the skeleton
might be the remains of either a
man named Moore, whose disap-
Pearance last spring is still a
mystery, or the remains of a man
named Setter, who wandered away
from his home at Plummer a few
months ago in a demented state.
However, after viewing the re-
mains, both these theories were
given up as it was the opinion of
the undertaken that the body must
have lain where it was found
since some time last fall.
The remains were discovered
by the foreman of a section crew
engaged in repairing the track.
The skeleton was lying in a clump
of willows in a low, marshy place
a short distance from the track
The coroner and prosecuting
attorney did not deem it neces-
sary to hold an inquest, as there
was absolutely nothing to identi-
fy the man by or to show how OF
when he came to his death. The
coroner directed that the remains
be brought to the city and in
TERED at the expense of the coun-
ty, which was done.
