MURDER.
A Canadian Found Dead in ives. Dsn..

~ - T.
Considerable excitement is mani
Tested at Denver over the finding of the
dead body of a man on the Platte bot
tom in the extreme western portion of
the city. The Tribune says that three
young men while fishing on the Platte
observed a man with his boots of lying
on a sand heap. Surprising him to be
drunk they did not approach him.
At a later period two lads were down
on the bed of the Platte and found the
body of a man stretched out with his
arms folded and his attitude of repose
as perfect as though he had enjoyed the
professional services of an undertaken.
His hat, coat and boots had been re-
moved and carried away. One of the
boys while hunting about the spot for
evidences of a murder, found at the
other side of the sand range, a pool of
blood, a dull, white-handled knife, and
the mans missing clothing. The con-
tents of his pockets were nearly all
scattered about. Among the latter was
a buckskin bag, intended clearly for a
money bag.
Half a mile from where the body laid
Is gypsy camp, located in acopse. This,
the people who went out with the coro-
ner, were disposed to regard as a sus-
picious circumstance. The murdered
man was about five feet eight inches in
height, rather slender in his proper
tons, with a large, intelligent head
surmounted by thin, yellowish hair.
He wore bushy chin whiskers of a
sandy color below Il small, firm mouth,
and q large Roman nose. The cast of
the features was Irish. Along the
right side of his throat was a long, rag
ged wound, or a series of stabs, which
might have been made by the dull jack
knife found near the murder.
The body was dressed in a blue shirt,
and clothes of a foreign worsted stuff.
On the inside of his vest, written in
stencil ink by an engrossing pen, was
the name and address: ST. Martin, p.
H." Near the body was found a
memorandum, which read as follows:
Write to- Mrs. Martin, Peterboro,
Ontario, and tell her that l am a dead
man for that one hundred dollars that
l got from her.n
Public opinion is divided as to
whether the man was murdered or died
from wounds inflicted by his own
hand.

Elsewhere in this issue appears a let
ter, announcing the death of S. wylde
Harding, who came to Cheyenne about
two years ago, and for some time there
after was employed as a writer on the
press Of this city. Several months
since he left Cheyenne, going to Dem
yer, and from there to Leadyille. His
rapidly failing health induced him to
return to his home in Brooklyn, N. Y,
where death closed his earthly career.
Mr.. Harding VA well educated, an
idolized son of wealthy parents, and
his demise 80 early in life is o severe
blow to his relatives and friends.

& Lake Rooted with Salt.
From St. Nicholas for December.

from st. Nicholas for December.
| No, it isn't frozen salt; and it
isn't under the ground. It is in
summer time, and open to the sky.
And this is the explanation
In Siberia, where this wonder is
to be found, the summer heat is
intense, and turns the upper part
of the waters of the lake into a
light mist, which floats away into
the air. The change from water to
mist takes place so quickly that
large masses of salt are left in solid
crystals, which cake together, arch>
ing slightly over the water, and
forming a roof eight or nine inches
thick, so strong that beasts of burs
den pass over it in safety, drawing
their loads behind them.
Now, is this salt roof good to
skate on? That is the question !;
but what's the answer?

Modern GalfWorshipers.

The Mosques, says the Arizona
Miner, are tribe of Indians living
in Northern Arizona, near the line
Of New Mexico. The only thing
worshiped by these red men is the
image of a calf gorgeously dressed
and decorated with ornaments Of
gold and silver. Their great dance
is the matachin, upon which occa-
sion they dress themselves in the
most ridiculous manner, their CO.'S
tunes generally being made up
from the hides Of foxes, bears,
coyotes. deer, antelope, etc. After
having committed some great wrong,
the Mosques, to pay penance to the
great Father, meet in council, ap-
point day upon which the dance
shall begin, and for twentyfour
hours they keep step to huns
drum tune without food or water,
when they depart from the dance
house with their sins forgiven, free
to 60 forth to steal a horse or cow,
as the case may be.
