represents himself to be so, is blind in
one eye and is small of stature. A gen
tleman Of our acquaintance invested q
dollar with him over two years ago for
the GIObe-DemOcrat but afterwards
found that the man was q fraud. He is
now in this part of the country and we
trust that none of our people VIII be
taken in. Always subscribe for q paper

abandoned this and went to q sod house
half mile west, where it appears that
they stayed all night taking some at
least of their horses with them. Here
searChers found the remains of the
lunch, the harness from two horses. a
horse b anket and other things that in
die lte the boys had stopped there over
night and left on two of the horses tax
ing all Of their bedding with them. Two
OF the horses came to the ranch, about
three miles from where the BOYS tried
to pitch the tent. One Of these horses
had all his harness on. Another of the
horses came TO house near Candy from
the southwest several days after the
storm. We learn that thelr remains
were found last Sunday on the North

have lain at least Is days from the time
life was extinct until the bodies were
found. They were buried at Eoltaire.
