BODY FOUND IN VACANT HOUSE
 
BELIEVED TO BE VICTIM OF HARD LUCK -- BODY BEING HELD FOR IDENTIFICATION
 
The body of an unknown man was found in a small vacant house near the Idaho 
Cannery, belonging to W. A. Coughanour, on Monday afternoon by Mr. Coughanour, 
who went there to look over the property.  The body which was poorly dressed, 
was found lying on a pile of straw beside a dilapidated suitcase which 
contained a knife, fork and spoon, also some writing material.  Coroner I. H. 
Adair, Sheriff J. C. Stewart and Dr. J. C. Woodward, county physician was 
called and a thorough examination was made which revealed but little evidence 
as to the identity of the man.  It is believed that he had been dead for 
several days.
 
On a scrap of paper in the suitcase was written, C. E. Scott, Portland, Ore.  
The Portland authorities have been notified and the body is being held at the 
Peterson parlors pending information from Portland.  It is believed, however, 
the man is a "drifter" and probably will not be identified.
