THE TORTURES OF THIRST.
A Man Blows Out His Brains After a Long
and Unsuccessful Search for Water.
From the San Francisco Alta.

From the San Francisco Alta.
The following extract, dated San Ber-
nardino, gives an account of the search
for Mr.. Cornman:
After leaving here the party in search
proceeded to the forks of the road, and
thinking that he had probably taken the
new stage road, chose that for their
route and travelled it to Resting Springs,
where they found he had left on
Wednesday morning, the 10Th ult. They
retraced their steps to the station, seven
miles, and making inquiries found that
Cornman had remained there over
night, and had inquired about the road
of a man who was stopping there, and
through whose ignorance he was misdi-
reeted, and started upon the Bitter
Creek road instead of the new stage
road as intended. Following the road
he had been sent, the party found traces
of him at Salt Springs, about 20 miles
this side of the station, and again about
five miles further on this side, where
it was evident he had stopped and sat
under bush to rest. No further traces
were found until they had travelled about
20 miles further; where they found he
had left the road and ridden up on a
point of rocks, with the apparent inten-
ton of looking around to see if there
were any signs Of water. At this point
he left the road entirely, and started
down wash, where there were bushes
growing and other indications of water.
Finding no water, he endeavored to re-
trace his steps and return to the road,
but had lost it. From this place he was
traced some 20 miles further, wander
inc towards and away from The road,
evidently without knowing where he
was or in what direction he was going.
He then made toward canyon which
he hoped would furnish him water, but
was again disappointed, and here he
rode his horse up another mountain for
the purpose of reconnaissance, but no
water was within reach He then re-
turned toward the mouth of the canyon,
stopping about one mile up, took the
bride off his horse and gave it a feed of
barley, and lay down under rock for
the night. In the morning he wander
ed about mile further down the can
yon, apparently without any defined
purpose, as his steps indicated that he
was not in a sane state of mind. At this
point he sat down again under a bush,
and, fully realizing the horrible hope
lessness of his position Ga terrible lin
gering death, from which there was no
possibility of escape), he put an end to
his suferings by shooting himself in the
temple. Here he was found by the
party as he fell, not having been mutt
lated by wild beasts, and was tempor-
Sharp County record., 1877-10-12

arily buried, until they can return and
bring the body to town for burial.
The horse had become so gaunt from
long fasting and fatigue that the saddle
had slipped from his back, and the
tracks around his dead master showed
that the faithful beast had remained
with him until his own necessities had
driven him to seek water, and he start
ed out on the desert, to perish from
thirst. All the papers and personal eff
fects of the deceased were found on him,
but no word was left explaining his sit
milton.
