Charles Iliff Found Dead in British Columbia.

Relatives here of Charles Iliff, son of Stearfis Iliff of Jordan tp., and a former resident of this county, received news a few days ago of the death of the former near Lac la Che, B. C., where he has lived for some time. He was found dead in his cabin last week, and it is thought he was murdered. But meager particulars have been received here as yet. Charles was about 37 years of age and has been in the northwest for about 20 years. He visited his relatives here six years ago. He is understood to have taken up a claim at Lac la Che, which is nearly 200 miles from a railroad and near the Alaska line. The remains may be sent here for burial by his friends if it is possible to convey the body to the railroad, which is doubtful at this season of the year.
