Thomystery surrounding tho dis
appearance of Mrs. Tom McQrath on
Sunday, July 10, 1911, was cleared
up by tho finding of tho body last
Sunday two miles down tho river by
Mrs. L. C. Fleming whllo fishing.
1'osltlvo Identification was mado
Monday by a ring which waa taken
from tho teft hand.
For eight months and 33 daya tho
body had lain In tho water, appar
ently whero tho unhappy woman
threw herself into tho stream. Tho
body was lodgod against somo logs
and rocks, on tho west side of the
river, whore tho water was not
swift. Tho head waa toward tho
bank, tho face upturned.
Mrs. Fleming's attention was first
attracted by a small bottlo lying on
tho bank. This was empty except
for a small bit of cotton. There was
no odor notlceablo when tho cork
was removed, but It Is thought that
it had contained chloroform. Mrs.
Mcdrath probably ' took tho poison
beforo jumping into tho water. In
oruor to make aeain aouuiy auro.
Itng Tied on Ttvlgn.
That sho wantod her body found
aocmod certain. At tho place whero
tho remains were In tho wator a piece
of cloth, which looked as If it might
havo sorved onco aa a dish towel,
waa securely tied to an alder twig.
About 100 yarda up tho stream a
man'a handkerchief waa also found
firmly tied to a twig at tho edgo of
tho water. Tho hem had been torn
from ono side and used aa a string
with, which to fasten the handker
chlof securely to tho twig. It bore
no Initials or laundry mark. It had
been there a long tlmo, aa It was
falltug to pieces from cxposuro In
tho weather.
Aa soon as Mrs. Flomlng mado the
ghastly discovery Sunday afternoon,
Constablo A. C. Lucaa waa notified
and went to tho sceno. Ho lifted
tho body from tho water and took
from tho clothing a breastpin. This
was Idontiflod by John O'Donnell,
who know tho woman well, aa be
longing to Mrs. McGrath. Tho body
was loft In tho wator until Monday
morning when Constable Lucaa,
Deputy Sheriff Fox. Undertaker NU
wongor and a party went otter It.
No Inquest waa doomed necessary.
On tho loft hand was found an 18
karat gold band ring which bore the
word Nome." As Mrs. McOrath
had llvod In Alaska, this waa taken
as positive evidence that tho body
waa hers. Though badly faded and
decayed, tho clothing waa also Identi
fied as what sho had on when lost
County Court Decide to I'ostpono
Definite Htrp Until May Term.
Jllds Are Thrown Out.
Last Thursday the County Court
decided to let decision In the matter
of cruising the timber of Crook
County He over until the May term.
The flvo bids for tho cruising which
had boon received were returned,
they being deemed Illegal because
not properly advertised.
At tho meeting, which was sup
posed to havo been hold Wednesday
forenoon, but which waa postponed
becauso members of the court failed
to put in an nppcaranco, representa
tives of those who had protested
against the proposed cruiso present
ed their arguments against it After
a lengtny bearing tlio bids were
thrown out and tho matter waa
dropped, at least temporarily.
, The argument beforo tho court
look tbeso grounds.
1 Tho matter of listing and ap
praising all taxable property or tho
county Is made by law tho duty of
the assessor.
3. The County Court hoa no
power to Impose upon tho assessor
or equalization board any data It
may obtain relative to tno quantity
it value of the timber or any other
taxable property,
3. So largo an expenditure aa
would bo Involved In a contract for
cruising the timber of the county
would bo totally, unjustifiable In
tho abaenco of power to get any
'ioncflt therefrom. For failure of
tho law to provide a means whereby
tho court could requlro the uso of
juch Information aa is proposed to
bo obtained, makes Its preparation
of extremely doubtful value.
