The Remains OF q a7an.

John Vert and three other men.
whose names we failed to learn, while
returning from the Little Rockies last
week found the remains of man
between forty and fifty years old,which
had, to all appearances, lain on the
prairie five or six months. The body
was found on the south fork of Deer
creek about one quarter Of nile
south Of the old Carroll road. The
party had left the road for the purpose
Of making camp for the night, selecting
this spot on account Of its proximity to
timber, (which probably suggested itself
to the lone traveller whose remains
they found when they made the awful
discovery. An examination was made
Immediately Of the clothing on the
body for papers and letters for the pur-
pose of identification, but without sue
cess. The articles found in the pockets
and now at Justice Sharpless' office,
are: pocket knife, black handle, two
blades; match safe; an extra pair Of
stockings and 60 cents in money. The
body was found lying face upwards,
with hands and arms parallel and close
to the sides; the flesh had been eaten
off the face by coyotes or other ami
mails; the chin was covered with gray
whiskers, the head middlng gray.
lie wore dark pants, in good condition;
new pair Of overals; light colored
cloth coat; heavy pair Of boots, nails
on bottom IN shape of letters, one
toward the heel resembling letter IS"
The body, as near II, could be ascer-
tanned. measured from . to 81 feet in
/ length
How the man met his death will
perhaps remain II mystery. Mr.. Vert
does not think the man lost his life by
/ freezing AZ he had extra stockings and
miften- that were not brought into
/ service, his coat was unbuttoned and
his general appearance indicated no
struggle agains, the inclcmency Of the
weather.
A man answering the above descrip-
ton very closely was in Maiden about
the ID Of last December, hailnS il is
thought, from Flat Willow stopped
at the international day or two, said
he Was nearly out Of money and must

told hi,n he thought Mr. William Fergus

gave the man directions for reschin,

The hotel register does not Impars any
Information As to the name. Possibly
he did not register at all
The party, after taking IL feN traps
from the pocket, buried the remains
not far from the place Of discovery.
While it probably would have been
better to have notified the nearest
Justice Of what they had found before
touching the body, yet they acted upon

Maiden Reduction Co.


the Maiden Reduction Co.. up To
within a few weeks. is well known to
our readers, yet the present condition,
judging from the numerous inquiries.
is but partially understood. Inquiry
for tn. benefit of our realers has
elicied the following facts:
only sufficient stock was paid for 10
purchase the machinery. When 1t ar
rived 1T Diliings, III. Clark d Co..
whom in the meantime had contracted
for its prompt delivery here-advanced
the railroad freight and hauled II to its
present site. Upon its arrival, the
Smelter company having no funds in
the treasury with which to meet ad-
vanced charges and H. Clark & Co.'S
freight bill, the trustees gave them, per
sonally, $500 and due bill for the
balance, which for the time being was
satisfactory to all parties.
The trustees II once commenced
the construction of the building that
was completed last December. which
necessitated the further contracting of
debts for lumber and labor, large
portion of which wa paid in stock and
all creditors expressed Il willingness to
wait for the balance until such time as
the Smelter company got TO work and
received returns sufficient to meet
payment.
In February, To protect themselves,
II. Clark & Co. placed lien on the
building and machinery, in the sum OF
.S,oo, the amount OF their due bill. and
the property was put n charge Il 4
special depu,y sheriff.
The total Indebtedness with costs TO
date amounts TO SI.5oo. AT the least
calculation the property is worth
building, mil-si,e and machinery
1880.
The only drawback to starting and
operating the smelter successfully has
beer, and is now, the indebtedness,
with no way or means to liquidate
Could the requisite amount he raised
there would be no trouble in starting
the works, yet efforts TO that end have
been repeatedly made Without avail
tlas far.
4, now looks as though the property
would have to be sold 10 satisfy II

stockholders are able to make the
advance.

The Great Southwestern Music House.

The Great Southwestern Music House.
 Considering the natural advantages of the two places, and the enterprising character of their business men, it is but natural that Memphis, Tenn, and Little Rock, Ark, should be the commercial centers and great supply depots of their own and several adjoining states. Among the business houses of the two cities there is none that stands higher or better de- serves the trade it commands than the Great Southwestern Music House of Fl. G. Hollenberg. A business career If over thirty years in Memphis and of six years in Little Rock, during which these houses have virtually controlled the music trade of Arkansaw, Tennessee, Mississippi, north Alabama, north Texas and the Indian Territory, places them prominently above all southern competi. tors. These houses carry the largest and most complete stock of the best m akes of pianos and organs, sheet music and all goods pertaining to their line, and are prepared to fill orders without any delay, and at prices less than the purchaser can obtain in the east, freight considered. All goods handled by H. G. Mollenberg arc comprised in neat catalogue which will be mailed free to any address. Par ties contemplating the purchase of a piano, or organ, or musical merchandise of any description, should not fail to ob- tain Hollenberg's prices befor. ordering elsewhere. Address, H. G. Hollenberg, Memphis, Tenn, or Little Rock, Ark.

 Reading of Sullivan puts us in mind oi a little affair that occrrrei the last time he was here, and which never, we believe got into print.
 Afer the show at the opera-horse vas over, Sullivan went over to the St. George bar and there was introduced to a gentle man of this city, who is not only a very polite and afiable man, but fine judge of whisky. After talking awhile he sug- gested to John that he take a drink out of his favorite bottle. John did so, and liked it very much and, after little more talk, he in turn suggested that they try it again. They did so.
 This was kept up till they had taken eight rounds of drinks, and about the time the last one got to the right spot, bril- liant idea struck our friend.
 "John," said he, "can you give me that thousand dollars now, ov would you rather wait till morning2
 "Whas thousand ?"
 "The thousand dollars you owe me-
 "l don't owe you a cent"
 "You bet you do. You owe me thou sand dollars"
 "What forf
 Didn't you offer athousand dollars to anybody who would stand up before you for three rouuds2"
 @You bet did, said John. a scowl coming to his brow.
 "Well, you just bet I've stood up be fore you for eight rounds, and I'm feeling a d-d sight better than did when l commenced"
 They shook hands and immediately got into position for the ninth round.
