YOUNG MAN FOUND
DEAD IN TENT
Rifle. Bullet Through Body Ends
Life Of Eldon Niece
Accident or Suicide?

Eldon McGessAged 20 years, an ex
service man and son-in-law Of Po
tor B. Wright, was found dead in hi
tent home aboat half = nAlssouthwes
Of the Wright ranch on Tuesday. A
Gazing wound in the chest and 25-3l
rifle lying by his side were mute evi
dences of the cause of his death. Th'
body was frozen stiff when found, ant
it is believed he had been dead a.
least day. Whether he was killet
accidentally or BY. his own premedit
ated act will probably always be
mystery, as there were no witnesses
to the tragedy.
Dave McGee, brother, was the
last to see the young man alive and
the first to discover his lifeless body
He at once called DIR. Cummings, who
Summoned Coroner Walter Brown to
accompany him, and to them he relat-
ed what he knew of events prior to
the tragedy. Eldon, he said, had mar
ried the daughter of Porter Wright a
year ago next month, and had made
their home in a tent southwest of>the
Wright ranch house. A baby was
born to them June 10. On Saturday
husband and wife quarreled and as a
result Mrs. McGee took the baby and
went to her parents home. On Sun
day afternoon Eldon and his brother
went to the Wright home and endea7
vored to persuade the wife to return
home. She refused. The two men
then left. They parted company at
the tent, Dave continuing to his own
abode. On Monday morning, Dave
went by the tent and knocked on the
door, but receiving no response, con-
cIuded Eldon was still asleep in bed
and left. On Tuesday afternoon he
came to the house asaip to take care
Of Eldon's stskl - Eldon had ex-s
pected to go to Boise valley on Mon
day to visit his father. Seeing no
tracks in the snow. he became alarm
ed and burst open the door q the
tent. The lifeless body of his brother
was found lying face downward be-
side the bed, $3.50 rifle and cieAn-
ing rod by his side. Whether in
over his ,domestie trpu-
bles he had sent . bullet through his
heart, or whether while cleaning the
gun it had been accidentally diseharg-
ed, probably will remain mystery
forever. The bullet passed through |
the chest, came out of the back and
striking a board in the wall Of the
tent fell upon the bed. The clothing
and body, were powder burned, show
ing the shot was fired at close range.
Coroner Brown found no evidence of
foul play and therefore held no In
quest. The relatives believe that he
vas killed accidentally. =.
The funeral was held this afternoon
rom the Bucknum chapel and inter-
nent was in the Emmett cemetery. /

STOCKS DAMAGED BY
fire and WATER
]. H. Stoner and Fred Elder
Heavy Loser from Blaze in
Store Building.

Fire which broke out in the roof OF
the store building on Main street oc-
cupied by ]. H. Stoner's news stand
and Fred Elders barber shop, Mon
day morning about 10 O'Clock, caused
damages to stocks and equipment es-
timated at $4,000. The damage to the
building is not heavy, the blaze be-
ing confined to the roof. The build
ing and contents were insured.
The fire originated in the attic and
was caused, it is believed, by defec-
tive flue. When the fire department
arrived the flames were bursting
through the roof, but were quickly
subdued by two streams Of water.
Mr.. Stoner is the heaviest loser.
He carried stock of confectionery,
cigars and tobacco, magazines and
newspapers valued at $500, covered
by $500 of insurance. The damage
is practically total. The barber shop
equipment and stock was seriously
damaged. 1t carried insurance of
$500. Neither the news stand nor
the barber shop were touched by the
flames, but the damage was caused
by water.
The building is owned by Craig
Coffin and associates of Boise and
was insured for $1,000. The damage
itself is not heavy, but as the build
ing is in the fire limits, and as the
city ordinances forbid making repairs
with wood, the loss looms up more
seriously. Harry Shellworth was in
town yesterday to size up the situa-
ton, and endeavor to secure permis
sion to make repairs, but was unsuc-
cessful. He came to no decision as
to whether the building win be replac
ed by brick structure, or other kind
of construction allowable. In the
