BODY FOUND AT
PINE MOUNTAIN
Last week the body of a man
was found at Tine Mountain in an
advanced stage of decomposition.
The dead man is eupjwod to be
the same person that attempted
to commit an assault on Mrs
Charles Reed at the Baldwin
ranch in July last. The fellow
was hired by Mrs. Reed to help
clear land and it was on the very
first night that he entered the
tent of Mrs. Heed and commenced
to choke her. Her scream? arou.ed
man named Sholty, who occu
pied the fame tent with the as
sailant, and the fellow made off
into the desert and was heard of
no more. The attempted assault
was telephoned to the sheriff and
thatoflicer took every precaution
to apprehend the villain hut noth
ing could lie heard of him. It is
now thought that the fellow struck
out across the desert to go to Silver
Lake but lost his way. As he
decamped in a hurry he was with
out food or water and in his weak
ened condition wandered around
until exhausted. Sheriff Klkins
deputiied John Atkinson and A.
C. Lucas to proewn to the place
and hold an inquest The follow
ing is their report:
Bend. December 14, liK)7.
Frank Elkins, sheriff of Crook
county,
Dear Sir I went out to . Pine
Mountain with A. C. Lucas and
held an inquest ou the body found
by Oscar lke,and from the evidence
lean find 1 am reasonably sure
that it is the same man that com
mitted the assault on Mrs. Reed of
Bend on July 28, 1907.
We got a book that we found on
him which J. I. West says he feels
sure is the one that was shown him
bv the dead man before he com
mitted the assault ou Mrs. Reed.
There was no evidence to show
that the man was murdered.
From appearances it is evident
that the man died from exposure
or from the want of water and
food. He had no coat, vest or hat
on and had torn his shirt from his
breast, but there were some shreds
of it left on his back. It looked
as if be bad tried to tear on ms
clothing and to get rid of every
thing he had on. As the snow
was about ten inches deep where
the body was found it was im
possible to secure further evidence.
We buried him on the ground as
it was impossible to move him.
John Atkinson,
Justice of Peace.
HELD TO THE
GRAND JURY
Howard Maupin, Clarence Short
and Jesse U rater have been brought
in from Ashwood by Sheriff Elkins.
