ISh S.N
terprisc of this morning gives the fol-
lowing particulars concerning the find
ing of the remains Of n dead body sew
eral miles north of Virginia City The
remains we're found In 4 thicke: of
willows near n small stream In Long
Valley, two or three miles from Louise
town, and probably II miles north OF
this city. The face Is all gone, aud APP
pears to have been eaten away BY wild
animals ; the hands also seem to have
been gnawed away. From the descrlp-
ton we have received OF the remains
il would seem that they are in n con-
dition which would indicate that they
are those of q man who died two or
three months ago. On the feet are a
pair of good boots. No. 6 In size, and
the clothing Is said to be Of a good
quality. Near the body was found
the remains of Il large wildcat. or
lynx, In n state about as dilapidated
rs Is that OF the body OF the man.
1t is thought probably that the remains
found are those Of n man who was en-
ployed for a considerable time In herd
ing 4 large flock Of sheep In that
neighborhood for Il man livingat Reno.
This sh~eepherder disappeared about
three mouths ago, since which time
nothing has been heard from him. How
the man came to his death Is a mere
matter of conjecture. 1t Is thougnI,
however, that lie was attacked oy tue
wildcat. and both died from the loss
of blood. and other injuries received
during the fight. Charles Brown, Of
the firm OF Wilson and Brown went
out to Lousetown this forenoon and
brought in the remains.
