 who started with John Hicks for Silver
 District, last Saturday night, returned last Monday to Yuma with the report that when on thelr way to Silver District they had lost the trail and had wandered about for two days without watef or food that finally they directed their course to-
 wards the Colorado river; that after tray cling some two miles, John Hicks gave out, and, at his own request, was left un- der the shadow of a mesquite bush to die l; that they (Roach and Anderson) contin- ued their journey, and that after walking seven hours they reached the Colorado river and obtained water, at which place they remained all night; that from the condition in which they had left Hicks he must surely now be dead. This was the substance of their story. A party was immediately organized. Lieutenant D. N. Mcdonald, Commander at Fort Yuma, furnishing three men, six horses and provisions for two days. Martin Ander- son, one of the sufferers,(?) was taken along to show them where Hicks was left, etc. The party after hunting around for two days for the dead(D body of Hicks, returned home. Monday the news came to town that Hicks had ar rived at Silver District, and was there working on his mine, and that he had most positively contradicted the story matched up by Roach and Anderson. The inference, from the above, is, that Roach and Anderson changed their minds about going to Silver District and re- traced their steps towards home. leaving Hicks to proceed to his destination, and that the story told by Roach and Ander- son was made out of whole cloth. How ever, let this be as it may, the persons who perpetrated the huge joke { ? on the Yuma people, may yet find it boomerang to them.
 Lieutenant Mcdonald is deserving of much praise for his prompt action in equiping and furnishing number of his men and sending all the aid possible to rescue the body and person of John Hicks, who was reported as having been left on the dessert iE dying condition.
