Upon examination they discovered on the other side of the trough the body of { man. Upon this, without further inves tigatiou, the corporal gave the word and the squad posted on to the Jones ranct in great trepidatiOn. It Is not knowr who the dead man is, but 1t IS supposed however, to be Chas. Thielman, mana ger for the Ere Cattle company. It Il | feared hIs two companions are als6 | killed.

 horses legs would carry them. Int squad was a portion of the command o' which five were murdered yesterda. and the supply wagons burned. The! were on their way to Bisbee for fresl supplies. Otto, who brings this infor nation, IS herder for John Slaughter, th' cattle owner.
