MAN FOUND DEAD IN VACANT HOUSE
 
STRANGER ABOUT 60 YEARS OLD DIED ON A STRAW BED EVIDENTLY A NATURAL DEATH.
 
About 3 o'clock Monday afternoon, November 25, the dead body of a man was 
found in a vacant house, belonging to W. A. Coughanour, one block west of the 
O. S. L. depot, by Fred Frickle, living in a house about 200 feet south.
 
County Coroner, I. H. Adair, and Sheriff Stewart were notified and 
investigation showed that the man died of natural causes as he was lying on a 
straw bed with an old quilt over him.  The body was removed to the Peterson 
Furniture home and a description taken.  The man was about 60 years old, 
height 5 feet 9 inches, weight 160 pounds, red brown hair, bald in front, blue 
eyes, sandy complexion, beard mixed with gray, three teeth missing and others 
badly decayed, large scar on pit of stomach, evidently from a burn.  He wore a 
ring with three green stone settings and on an inside pocket was a label of 
the Brownsville Woolen Mills, tailors of Portland, made for C. E. Scott, 
Portland, Oregon.  There was also an envelope of the Big Four Transfer Co. of 
Portland.
 
S. C. McGee at the Commercial Hotel says he met the man at La Grande about 
three months ago and that he had been around Payette for three weeks.  Mr. 
McGee said he was without funds and told him he had no relatives.  O. W. Hull, 
night man, said he had also seen the man around for about three weeks.  
Efforts to locate friends or relatives have so far failed.
