A Chastly Spectacle
William RUE'S Body Found On The Highway, Half Devoured By Coyotes
On Sunday evening last Al WILD notified the Coroner that he had passed the body of a man lying on the Garfield Road, about five miles Southeast of Lapanta Mine. After contacting the undertaker and summoning a jury, the coroner and party started for the scene about daybreak Monday morning.
On arriving there a gastly sight met their eyes. Lyiing directly in the wagon track was the body of William RUE, better known to our people as Badger Bill. He had evidently been dead some days as the body was badly decomposed and coyotes and vermin had eaten the flesh from one side of his body. The left arm had been pulled from the body at the shoulder and carried off by the coyotes. As it was almost impossible to convey the mutilated remains to Hawthorne, a grave was made by the roadside and the remains placed in a coffin and poor old Badger was laid to rest in the shadow of the hills in which he worked for years. A large stone marks the head and foot of the grave.
