 T. B. Jones, an old resident of Globe, we'll known throughout this region as "'Dobe Jones'" paid a visit, week before last, to the Salt River. He had been drinking hard for some time and was in delirious condition when he reached the ranch occupied by Wash Jacobs and others. On the 4th inst. he took his shot gun and started to walk into town. His gun and coat were found on the road the next day, and this being reported here, together with his arrival, caused an uneasiness, resulting in an expedition of a volunteer party in search of him. He was tracked from the place where his gun and coat were found, in tortuous course back to the river, and no further trace having been discovered, it is supposed that he flung himself into the rapid current of the river. '" 'Dobe Jones" was an enemy to none but himself and, so far as we know, had none but John Barleycorn, who is sure to win every time in the long run.
