pass. That their fear was well taken
j. shown by Il dispatch received by the
SENTINEL. last evening, which will re-
move all doubts as to his fi,e:
..John Dorsey, while searching for
/ his horses i'll the mountains, found the
s,ow-Shoes and Il portion of the blanket
of Deputy Sheriff Ellis, and also dis
covered the camp occupied by han for
two day. The ~snow-ShoeS and blan-
Ike. have been identified as those of

found. The search is still continued"
This evidence is conclu>ive; blinded
by the drifting SNOW, Ellis must have
lost his path, AMI af er wandering for
DAYS in the mountains, finally sue

and as traces of him have been
discovered, will be kept up until all
