around and felt the bed, perhaps about foot
away from the foot of the bunk. and felt
the blanket. | had thought when | saw he
was not with the sheep, perhaps ne had left
me, but now | was satisfied that he had not,
and feared he was laying around the creek
somewhere with the fever and ague. l then
went home, and when | got to Monsch's
was asked by some one there. What was
the matter?" and said, Il don't know what's
the matter; have had long walk l found
the sheep finally, but did not find Charley"
and expressed my opinion that he must be
sick upon the ranch. Mr.. Monsch said he
believed he would saddle-up yet that night
and go and look for him. [ said that
COULDN'T DO ANY GOOD,
As he could not see him unless he should
happen first upon him. L got up early the
next morning and took cup OF coffee, and
started out for the cabin. The night before
l had tied the door of the cabin shut with
piece of string, and when | came back in the
morning found the door was still tied the
same as had left it in the evening. l went
and pushed the door open, and saw the man
lying in bed, and | said, ''Charley," and he
did not answer. l then went up and touched
him on the hip or side He was pretty well
covered with the blanket. but was not clear
covered down on his back. I saw he was
dead, and | did not stop to see what was the
matter, but went right out, and didn't shut
the door, but went to the corral and shut the
gate to keep the sheep in. | had opened it
when | came up, and only few had gone
out. then went home as fast as | could, to
let them know
HE WAS DEAD.
When I got home l said, "Joe, hitch mp my
two horses into the spring wagon" | helped

fast on his horse. [ said when he came up,
Have you seen Charley?" | said, He is
dead p and think he said, Yes, know
that myself" / then said, I'VE will have to
SO and get the Coroner" and | said, Had
he better go, or T., and I added, "You bet
ter go, and Joe and | will 60 to the cabin and
stay there" Joe and | then went back to
the cabin, and Joe lifted the quilt off him,
and this was the first time | had seen how he
was killed. L could then see the place on
his head where he was killed. We then
went to the corral, and | got Joe to take
care of the sheep and [ went back to the
cabin; but as it was raining, and didn't

and Mr.. Monsch and Joe went there and
stayed all night, and the next morning |
went to the cabin and met Joe and Mr..
Monsch on the way, and | stayed there until
the Coroner came When the Coroner ar
rived he swore the jury; took my statement
down and read it over to the jury, and they
signed it. Then some one proposed to bury
the body there by the cabin, and Mr.. Monsch
said he didn't want it buried there, and l
think the Coroner suggested that it might be
buried at the Slough House | said no, |
would like TO see this body taken into Sacra-
mento, and the ball which is in his head
taken out it may lead to finding out the
pistol that the ball came from. | then went
to the Coroner and told him that owed him
a little money that didn't settle up in full
About twelve days before l had paid him
500, and he said he didn't want it, and that

said / didn't want it that it belonged to
him. / am pretty confident that he had four
$40 pieces besides these five twenties, as
gave him four twenties before he went up to
the mountains, and he had no occasion to
change any, as [ furnished everything he
wanted, and he did not drink. When paid
him the $50 before going to the mountains |
told him he had better bury it, as it would
be safer for hin than it would be to keep it
With him He mnst have had $50 in twenty
