and relief party sent out with food, found

they were brought into Los Pinos. On being

offered to guide a party to the remains. An

lied under the leadership of Henry Lanter.
of this city. The trial was taken across the
mountain toward the head of the Gunnison
river. When the north fork of the Gunnison
was reached Packha claimed to be confused,
and said he could not direct the exploration
any further. He tried his best to lead the
party north. Lanter, growing suspicious,
charged him with the purpose of misdirectiae
the party, and insisted on continuing south
whereupon Packha drew knife and tried to
kill him. Packha was disarmed and ironed.
The party returned to the agency, after having
failed to discover the camp, and Packha was
confined in the Lagauche Jail. A few days
later he escaped, and trace of him was never
certainly had again till last week.
Three years ago desperate was killed at
Fort Defiance, A. T., whose description COR
responded with that of Packha, and it was
| thought that he had at last met his death.
In June, 1874, photographer from Peoria,
ILL.,, named Reynolds, accidentally discovered
the bodies of the murdered men in hem
lock grove near Lake San Christoval, and
only short distance from the present Lake
city. Some members of the surveying party
who had fingered in the country, visited the
scene and identified the men. The bodies
of four Of the men, Swami, Bell, Noon and
Humphreys, were lying side by side. Two
OF them were rolled up in blanket.

The head was severed from the body, and
the flesh had been taken from the breast and
limbs. There was evidence in the disturbed
condition of the ground that he had fought
hard for his lie The bodies were preserved
and easily identified. There was known to
have been about Sic, 900 in possession of the
party, but not dollar could be found. There
was no longer any doubt but Packha muir
dered the men to obtain their money, and,
running out OF food, ate their flesh. After
having committed the deed, he constructed a
brush house and apparently resided there for
few days. Between it and the bodies there
was a trial which he often travelled TO gloat
over his deed or cut off meal of human
flesh, When he started eastward he eyi.

for several days, and 1t required careful medi-
cal treatment to save his life. To General
Adams Packha said he had been deserted
by his companions, and left to die in snow
storm. He was taken to Laguache, the
nearest frontier settlement, for care. Two
days after the agency escort departed with
him couple of Utes arrived with strips of
supposed meat, which they showed to General
Adams as "white mans flesh" Suepecting
foul play, the General Immediately dispatched
second party to bring Packha back to the
agency as a prisoner. Upon being shown
the human flesh and charged with murder,
Packha seemingly broke down, and confessed
that the five men were killed, one by the other,
to provide food for the survivors. One day
when he was absent from camp hunting, he
said, his five companions deew lots for death,
and Swan drew the unlucky number. The
victim was being cut up, he said, when he re-
turned to camp. Miller, Humphreys and
Noon then fell under the Ratchet, and in the
order stated their flesh was devoured. Bell
then tried to murder Packha, but the latter
detecting him in the act, felled him dead with
an ak before he could fire a second shot
Packha wound up his somewhat crooked
story with an account OF his blind journey
through the wilderness in which he preserved
his life against the winter cold and storms by
carrying from place to place burning Goals in
a coffee pot. Bells flesh was what he fed
on. Meanwhile during the investigation a
