BURLINGTON MAN DEAD
in SHEEP CAMP TODAY
George Bell Found Dead with Gun
and Knife Wounds, which
Point TO Both Accident
and Suicide

The body of George r. Bell, 20,
was found this morning at a sheep
camp on Dry creek, about 25 miles
southeast of Cody, when the owner
of the sheep. Arthur Royce, went
to assist him in moving camp. Bell
had been shot twice in the body,
with knife Wounds in the chest and
his throat cut. From all appearance
es the young man had been dead
four or five hours when discovered.
Deceased was a step-son of Thos.
Spence Of Burlington and had been
employed for some time by MCGEE
and Royce, whose sheep he was
tending. He was a fine looking
young man. OF good habits and con-
sidered a very dependable workman.
He was last seen alive a day or two
ago.
When the body was found it was
laying or its left side. with head
toward the door of the wagon, the
door being closed. Under the body
was a Winchester 80 calibre rife.
On the shelf slightly above the body
was a bloody knife and one dis
charged rifle shell. Another empty
shell was in the chamber of the
rifle. together with several loaded
shells In the magazine.
An examination of the body dis
closed one bullet wound well down
on the left side, coming out at the
back. The other was in the left
chest just above the heart. This
bullet also penetrated the body and
came out the back. There was a
knife wound on the chest. not very
deep, and the throat had been sue
i~cessfully cut,
From an investigation of the
sheep wagon and camp. it might be
presumed that young Bell had ac-
cidently shot himself in some man
ner. possibly in drawing the gun
from the bunk, where a smaller
rifle was found. Certainly after
one of the shots he had got out of
the wagon and walked about a bit.
later returning to the wagon and
lying down on the bunk, which was
saturated with blood. 1t is pre-
sumed that the other shot and the
knife wounds were self-inficted in
an effort to end his suffering.
Judge Marston, acting as coroner.
Sheriff Blackburn and Undertaken
Vogel went to the camp a. noon
today. in response to a telephone
call from Mr.. Royce. and brought
the body to Cody. 1t is possible
that an inquest will not be held.
