Prominent Boise Sheep Man Is Murdered
 
The finding of the body of R. C. Goodwin in the Snake river Monday near 
Ontario, has brought to light a very sensational murder.  On returning from a 
four days trip in the Steen mountain country an auto driver by the name of D. 
C. Brichoux shot Goodwin, who was a prominent sheepman residing at Boise.  The 
killing took place in the Brichoux car on the outskirts of Ontario about 11 p. 
m., Sept. 4.  The body was taken by auto to the inter-state bridge between 
Fruitland and Ontario, weighted and thrown over the railing into the river.  
The disappearance of Goodwin was already being investigated and when the body 
was found Brichoux who was known to have driven him on the trip, was instantly 
suspicioned.  The two men resembled each other, it is said, and after the 
killing Brichoux impersonated the dead man and wired a Boise bank for funds 
which were forwarded to him at Winnemucca.
