BALMER CELES

An Evident Murder
A Man Found Dead On Pine Nut Mountain

The Carson Tribune of the 28th ult. says: Balmer Celes, a little Frenchman who has been engaged in hauling wood from Pine Nut and other places to Carson for the past fifteen years, was found dead near his cabin at Pine Nut on Thursday.

His body was taken to Genoa and a Coroner's Jury summoned to investigate the death. At first it was thought that Celes had died from heart trouble, but subsequent developments lead to the belief that a murder has been committed. Wounds were discovered about the head of Celes, indicating that he had been struck with a bludgeon or heavy instrument.

Celes had evidently been repairing his wood wagon, as tools were found scattered about. The cabin door was found locked. The presumption is that the perpetrator of the deed was under the impression that deceased had money secreted in the cabin. From appearances the cabin had been rifled.

Further developments are anxiously awaited and it is hoped the Douglas authorities will leave no stone unturned to bring the murderer to justice.
