May, of Green River, discovered the skeleton of a man partly buried in the mud and sand, on the west bank of Green river, four miles above the Junction of the Price river and Green river, and 25 miles above the town of Green River, in Emery County, Utah. He unovered about one half of the skeleton. We have the skull and teeth complete. Arm, leg bone, vertebrae, and one foot, with one shoe. The shoe seemed to be a dress shoe, and about six or seven in size. Also a rubber overshoe. He had all his teeth. Two had been filled with composition. Judging by the condition of his teeth, we judge that he was thirty five or forty years of age and about 5 feet 8 inches tall. We thought probably that people living along the line of the Green river, might know of someone that had been missing or drowned within the last year or two. To the best of our judgment we think he had been dead from one to two years. We heard a rumor that a sheep inspector had been drowned, while crossing the Green river on thin ice. Kindly give this to the proper authorities and have same published. Very truly yours, JAS. A. SHINN. --- Rock Springs Rocket no. 22 May 05, 1922 A.R. SPARKS KILLED ACCIDENTALLY SHOT A tragic accident occurred on last Saturday morning when A.R.

News of the accident was telephoned to town and Dr. D.B. Park and R.V. Wellington left for the place immediately and found conditions as above stated. The story of the accident, as near as it can be piece together, is as follows: Word has been sent to Mr. Sparks from his brother’s ranch which is not far distant, that Dr. Park wished to talk to him regarding Mrs. Sparks who was in the Omaha hospital for treatment. Mr. Sparks told on e his men to take a bucket and get some water while he got the car. He took his rifle and left the house and passed out of the yard through a swinging gate which was controlled with a chain and a weight. The gate was fastened at top with a wire. From the position of the body which was a few feet through the gate, it appears evident that the gun was either struck by the gate slamming to or that the hammer of the gun caught in the wire and the gun discharged, the bullet entering the body on the right side below the ribs and ranged upward, passing through the heart and lodging in the left shoulder. The rifle was a 25 high-power and the bullet passed almost entirely through the body.

The body was brought to Sprowell’s undertaking parlors on Sunday and prepared for burial.
