1HAeEDY IN SALMON COUNTRY
Mans Body Found Buried in Middle
Fork district

The Salmon Recorder of Salmon City
has the following to say concerning
tragedy in the country on the Middle
Fork of the Salmon river:
"a suspected murder case far over
on the Middle Fork of the Salmon
river was reported to the authori-
ties on Thursday last in a message re
ported to the authorities on Thursday
last in a message received by the
sheriff department. Sheriff Frazier
himself started over that way the
same day to make an investiga-
ton. He was followed this
morning by Coroner w. G. Doebler,
both officers intending to make the en-
tire journey horseback. From the mea-
ger details received it was impossible
to ascertain just what had happened
further than that about a month ago a
mans body was found under suspic-
ious circumstances and the body had
been buried out in a field for e-month.
All the features that go to make up
tragedy of the kind-including disor-
dered and broken up domestic relations
between husband and wife, Jealousy
and rage-gave color to the story that
reached Salmon.
"Charles Ernst and wife were the
separated couple.
ga man named Raberg is said to
have been the cause of the divorce
It was his body that was found un-
der circumstances that lead to the
suspicion of murder The Ernst fam
lily formerly lived on the opposite side
of the river from Lemhi county. The
officers now on the way to the scene
will 90 to the bottom of the MYSTERY"
