Idaho Semi-weekly World. May 15, 1891

EDITOR WORLD: - The remains of I. E. Mahan were found by Thos. Day on the 8th
inst. upon my ranch in this valley. The deceased has been missing since last
October. He was in company with Mr. Norcross, who was packing in provisions to
his mine on the Middle Fork of the Payette. He was left in camp while Mr. N.
proceeded to the mine with a load. On his return two days after Mahan was no
where to be found. Search was made and the conclusion arrived at was that he had
returned to Emmett. He had been on a protracted spree before starting on the
trip. He was identified by those who knew him. I examined his pockets in the
presence of ten witnesses. The following articles were found on his person: A
card with his name on it, a gold toothpick, a medical powder, a lead pencil, a
small piece of tobacco, a cigar and some matches. His position, when found, was
as follows: He was lying on his back upon a knoll, with his face upward; hat on
his head; shoes removed, one under his right shoulder, the other at his feet;
coat off and lying between his legs. The body was in a bad state of
decomposition. He was buried by the citizens of this place. Box and shroud
furnished, and head board put up, with his name written on it, to indicate his
last resting place.
