ITS FIRST VICTIM
The Remains of an Unidentified Man
found on the Shores of the

Quite u little excitement was
ed lien* Monday morning by the an
nouncement that the remains of a man

had lx*en found near the hig reservoir
north-east of town. Sheriff Zugg was
apprised of the gasify find and in the
absence of the coroner, Justice Aunett of
tliis place was empowered to select a jury
and proceed to investigate the occurrence.
Selecting a jury consisting of Geo. Bis

a small island near the east short* of the
reservoir, anil were discovered hy Ernest
