oorted by q brass band-all the elected

Yesterday Q couple OF wood.choppsrs
who Came down from the. lake reported
the finding Of the remains OF q man In q
rsvins In tho mountains about seven
miles from the head OF Falling Leaf
Lake. The two men were crossing the
Sierra on snowshoes when they came
upon the remains. which had evidently
lain In the snow several weeks.
They Hrst noticed o large space In the
snow which bad been tramPled down
evidently by wolves, and near by were
the remnants OF clothing. Under .
large pine was tho skeleton Of q man,
the flesh having been picked clean from
the bones. The clothes. were scattered
about and trampled in the snow. and
some OF the bones had been carried
nearly q hundred yards from the spot.
A six.shooter was also found near By,
with all OF its chambers loaded, which
would indicate that the unfortunate man
was not first attacked by the wolves. but
had persisted from cold and hunger. A
pair OF snowshoss were also found, with
'X. X" ont in each. There wal NO
other distinguishing mark.
Although the wood-ohoppers carefully
searched the clothes Of the deceased.
there was nothing to identity him. In
the pocket OF the coat were the remains
Of some old letters. but they had been
40 saturated with water that the writing
was utterly unintelligible. A black felt
hat and q thick-solsd pair Of boots COM
pleted the inventory. The man had evil

storm while trying to cross the noun

vine. The wood. choppers gathered the
bones together. dug q shallow grave, In.
TERED the remains. and rolled q bowldsr
over the spot. The snow shoes they
brought into Yank's station, in the hopes
that they may sometime be identified.

A relative OF General Upton. who re-
Gently committed suicide in San Fran
cisco. says that the aust Of the Gen.
erals rash act could DO traced to his
sufferines from malignant and ineurable
ca,arrh. The verdict Of the jury. how
ever. was to the effect that his suicide
was due to IN ovsrtaxed brain. resulting
from over anxiety and anticipation Of the
failure OF the work on military tactics
upon which he was engaged. The two
causes combined oonld easily have led to
temporary mental alteration and consti-
tuted the real impulse TO seek relief in
suicide.
