Idaho World January 6, 1870
From the Owyhee Wave of December 30th 1869-
We learned that an Indian boy, who had been in the employ of the Ida Elmore 
Co. for several years past, was found dead in his bed with every indication 
that he had been foully dealt with. He had been shot in the mouth, the ball 
passing up through the brain and lodging in the back part of the skull. 
Doctors Connely, Burgi and Becket examined the body and found the under jaw 
broken and the bullet hole as above stated. The indian boy had been sleeping 
in a cabin with a negro named Mills Moore, and after the Coroner's inquest, 
suspicion pointing strongly towards the negro, he was arrested, together with 
a negro boy named Barney, and both held to bail in the sum of $2000.

Additional Comments:
Names mentioned- Dr.Connely, Dr.Burgi,Dr.Becket, Mills Moore and Barney.
