C. Goodwin in the Snake river Monday near Ontario, has brought to light a very sensational murder. On returning from a four days trip in the Steen mountain country an auto driver by the name of D. C. Brichoux shot Goodwin, who was a prominent sheepman residing at Boise. The killing took place in the Brichoux car on the outskirts of Ontario about 11 p. m., Sept. 4. The body was taken by auto to the inter-state bridge between Fruitland and Ontario, weighted and thrown over the railing into the river. The disappearance of Goodwin was already being investigated and when the body was found Brichoux who was known to have driven him on the trip, was instantly suspicioned. The two men resembled each other, it is said, and after the killing Brichoux impersonated the dead man and wired a Boise bank for funds which were forwarded to him at Winnemucca.
