Pound Nude and Dead.

Brad. Winslow, an old G, mstock
miner, Who for several years past has
been following his calling at Tuscarora,
had lately shown evidences OF aberra.
ton of mind, and on the 18th ins.snt
left that camp. coming toward this
place on foot. Between the above date
and tho 18th he was seen several times
on the road between Tuscarora and
what is kno Su as Eagle Rock. seven.
teen miles u on the Elko stage road.
Whom the fact OF his apparent aimless
wanderings became knoxn 10 Tusca-
roTa. NJ. J. Hatch started in the direc.
lion designated. TO search for him, with
the view Of bringing him back to camp.
After n fruitless search during tho 18th
II 10th, Hatch was Joined by Grimes
and Shaffer Of Tuscarora, and on the
following day tho object OF their search
was found about quarters Of a
milo northeast Of Eagle Rock, dead; the
body was stripped of clothing; the
jugular vein on the left side OF tho neck
severed; also the veins at the wrists. The
discovery was made by following :he
tracks tho unfortunate man had made in
his insane vanderiugs. There was no
clothing nor weapons OF any kind found
with or near tho body, aud the party
were in doubt ns to how the wounds
were Inflicted. Tho finding Of the
clothes may, however, solve the mystery.
The remains were conveyed to Tusca-
rora, nj once, and given n decent burial.
Winslow is said TO have been au honest
and industrious man, but had boon
drinking TO excess Of late.
