og the eplstolatory attentions Uf an ann less wanderer of urdoubted insanity whose course IS marked by the follow ing extracts from the letters. While they are each enclosed to Mir. Mgsop. | the letters are addressed to \. c. Stone. | and upon their backs is written: "Please l hand this to the F. NJ. in person." None | Of the letters letters contain any signC- ture to designate the name of the writer. l
 The first letter was dated Tombstone. August Sth, and begins by telling his 1 dear friend that there is "some cussipc in 1t too; can't help it. When left Tucson had to go miles further up the | canon or l never wonld have caught onto the trail there; from there to AIoun- | tain Springs l made IL all right, but foot | sore and tamlshed. Still do not credit l yourself too much for If had given the l other side side R single thought you | would have been gone, for their fellows | are smarter, sharper aud truer than yours and l never would have made 1t | to the new road If l bad not an Idea where and when to go. Walked | all night Tn the rain when l got to | Mountain Springs, l was there about T. an hour when a sutler from tie army l came along. l did not know he wes "A | settler, l went and lad down way between his wagon and the water but he never came near me, and Of codrse, l his stomach full and contented, did not care. l will not go iGto particulars Sbout all these rsckets, but will lump II and say 1t has ever been the cause Of somebody getting something to do something and like in Tucson make | believe they have done 1t, and watch for another chance, or in other words | the mHsin are 2 of them ali for self interest, can you imagine what l have gone through with tue gospel sWRmpers and old HassyampeTs of phenix, these mormon boys and the rank and file of your own following, the biggest lunk-heads of all. have trav- cling close on o 500 miles on foot since leaving Tucson, not speaking of the raIl- road rides l have stole, nothing to eat one half the time, then a piece of raw bacon and bread the biggest part of the time, trsvelIng alone and thinking, has left and got me in pretty condition. l write thIs having eat nothing since yesterday, and do you know that you have made me suffer lj deaths in the last three years and nine tenths of youif you were Tn my place and tortured to death, would blame you for what the other sIde IS guilty of, for all your actions with me that Is the parties that knocks against me, makes IL look like that to any of you, only l know how l Was brought from California 10 years ago, who l. -l. T II. away to know that you are not to blame, now l can curse like trooper, and do walking along alone, and there IS DO language bad enough that do Lot cal you, of course it does not help my hun ger and fOOt-soreness, but le: me tell you again the other side Is smarter, more daring and shrewder and make things more palmer to me than your side. As I said before yours are lunk- heads the biggest part of them. Let me say right here, that have wished often that the suffers grey mustRche were like veritable steel spikes 6 inches along when It Is twisted out and that they were drove in his heart; the fellow he is with will down him, not that be is any smarter but his followers he has to de- pend on are so much truer and earnest, If he undertakes anything though both their heads are us empty G5 nut shell, and have cursed others iu h-l and every place walking along alone that l have made myself sick allmost. good god, you do not want me 10 say that you will rob the grave and torture 10 death any person the grave had any re- gard for. Tomorrow l start for Nil- COX, will get there on the llth, III the morning. 1 20 by the way Of Summit station unless turned off ID the other road. l will catch ont" anything or anybody that will make themselves un- | derstood In any way you must remem- Der that the other side Is all the tune | countetoctIng you on the road and every where and this being passed from one to the other and each thinks that l am as fresh, healthy and happy as he IS kill ing me; also pointing at d desert, for stage man to travel, by Tom, Dick, and Harry and the other side pointing too.
 Is 1t not enough to make a fOCl ont Of
 q man, and If 1t had not been for me
 the other sIde would have done you up. ! No need to slgn my name. l start tu l DragOon Summit tomorrow evening unless told to go sooner or turned of tu the middle pass
 The next incoherent eplstle from the unfortunate tramp Is dated at Benson, ! August 2lst, and details the trials by
 winch scsDty supply Of food was ob- tained, that depicts hls plight as trul!
 pitIable A lot of disconnected evidences of his lunRcy runs through the entire epistle.
 The third letter was dated in Tucson on August 23i, addressed as before, to A. C. Stone aud enclosed to J. \. Ma Ia |. a.-Ha journey on foot from Benson 10 this place, and details and old encounter had with some local parties, opposite Con- sress hall, when he imagined there was a conspiracy to kill him. IL then lays out proposed Journey to Casa Giaude, exhibiting familiarity with the coun- try and stations. It says: "A second hand number pair of shoes might be
 thrown on Waste pile at Desert station
 so that could see them, or pair of
 second hand overhRuls, second hand No. s shoes and second hand broad brim
 hat, throwed around Tweed's black
 smith shop, PicachO, so that l could find
 them
 Another from Tucson, dated August
 3lst, says he would leave for the west in the morning, and that he would let the l uldu hA huC -hAnN EfAAANL 1NtaAA AAAA--' lis a short letter but ths confused ex-
 pressions are more marked and indeed
 a portion IS the Verriest glbberlsh.
 The next was dated at Casa Grande,
 September 9th. He had just returned
 from the Vekol mine and would next go
 to Florence and thence on to Picket
 Post. Ia this he uses the singular eX-
 pression "I must almost say, d-n thIs
 mystery business for It IS only wearing
 me out and killing me by inches, for
 when it comes to the point there Is el-
 ways some catch for the want oi
 plain talk and a little sense. l
 will tell you will follow n yellow rib
 bon in any direction then, simple
 one"
 The demented tourist also wrote an-
 other letter from the halfway house be
 tween Casa Grsnde and Florence, winch
 saws he will go to Picket Post, then to Phenix and then to Msricopa station.
