A MYSTERY SOLVED.
It Now Tumi Out That JameiSimmom
Who to Mysteriously Disappeared
From hit H-.ma In 1880
Hanged Himself.
A young man by the name of Jsmes Sim
in npm, mow, ten ma nome in tamp
tret precinct, telling hi folk that they
would never see him alive again, and since
that time hi history ha been shrouded in
mystery. A couple nf week ago hunter
became lost in the mountain snd accidental
ly came across the remain. When he came
iuto the settlement on the McKeneie river
he informed the people of the discovery.
Several parties searched for the remains,
but were unsuccessful in finding them uutij
reb'Jjth, when the Civhey party again
found them in the mountains ou the north
side of the McKenzie river, about one mile
from the residence of Mr Andrew Goodard,
and brought them iuto the settlement. Hy
the evidence he undoubtedly hanged himself.
A coroner's inquest was held beinre Justice
J M Dick, Friday, Feb 2Gth, when the fol-
lowing evidence was adduced:
Dr W Campbell, testified; Reside in
Camp Creek precinct; I recoguize this as the
skull of James Simmou by the state of the
upper jaw and the teeth, the eye teeth pro
jecting forward as these) do, also the tooth
adjoining on the right aide had b.-en
drawu. I believe the (kail to be that of
r A' t til
Jame .Simmon. ,
M S Richey, testified: Reside in Camp
Creek precinct; found these remain, con
sisting of bone and a aachel of clothing, a
watch and a portion of m table kuile. The
clothing lay at the root of a yew tree and
near by lay the bone; across a limb over the
bone a rope about 6-8 of an inch was hang
ing with a uoose iu the lower eud; beneath
the limb over which the rope hung was
another limb, blackeued as if the body had
hung against it. I found these thiugs Feb
25, 1886.
Robert Uadford, testified; . Beside iu
Camp Creek. Was well acquainted with
the deceased, being near neighbor to him.
He disappeared from home about April 18,
18S0. I believe the article fouud belonged
to him.
Albert Simmons, a brother, Fred Pepiot,
C Powers, .Mrs Strange and Hattie Stor-
innnt, each testified as recognizing portion
of the article as belonging to Jame Sim
mons. The Cormier' jury gave the following
verdict:
We, the jury find these to be the remains
of Jame Simmons and that he came to his
death by his own act about the 16th of
April, 18S0.

burne for the defense. After the testimony
and the arg.iineuts of the attorneys, the Jus

the grand jury in the sum of (2,001), which
was furnished. It is but jut to say that here
tofore Mr Luper has borne an excellent repu
tation in the community. HU friends hope
that he will be a'ole to prove 'his entire inno
cence of the charge.
A Card.
J. M. Hodson: You stated to me in your
office that the School Directors had bought
hooks, ladders, block aud tackle for use
in painting the sohool house, ami paid $15
for the same out of the district funds, and
that they wore thrown away; alo thac they
had eyeut $500 in repairing the scliiml house,
that was worse than thrown away, for all of
which you had proof. Now the pr.f I
want and must have, at the community
want to know who ha bceti stealing. or who
ha beeu lying.

and stunned it. Ropes were then lowered,
by means of which the monster was drawn
unto the wharf, at least a dozen men giving
a helping hand to haul it out of the water.
The shark weighed 386 pounds and meaaur
ad eight feet in length, its girth in the
thickest part being fall V live feet. The
heart, which was removed from the fish,
pulsated for lully an hour afterwards.
