never seen ailNe dSain py any uuaiaII being. The relatives of Mir. Rawson were not expecting him home at any par ticular time, consequently his con 'tinued absence caused no uneasiness, and the fact of his departure from Mir. Hart's ranch was not known here until that gentleman came into town last Saturday, and fin ding that MT. Rawson had not reached home, told of the departure from his ranch five days before. As heavy snow storm had taken place during that time il was at once feared that the unfortunate gentleman was lost, and search plrty was made up to go in quest of him.
 THE SEARCH.
 On Saturday evening Mr. w. E Lockwood, Doc Wilcox and ]. B. Lockwood, in company wi;h MT, D. r. Hart, started out to search for the missing man, and aided by Doc With CTS, who has ranch near, search was made all day Sunday without any re- sul, bey yond finding the lost mans trail Alter following it up for a con siderable distance, it was found that the snow had drllted so as to com pletely obliterate it. On Monday morning Mir. w. F.. Lockwood re- turned to the city, as 1t was found that larger force was required to thoroughly search the country, in the meantime the search was continued by Messrs. Wiihers and Jack Robertson, who were joined by Mir. Cook, of the pump house, but Mondays search was as fruitless as Sundays. Tuesday morning Doc Wilcox returned to Flagstaff to report, and that night a party of ten wIih q team and sleigh and provisions to las; them for several days, started out, This party con. sisted of Messrs w. E. Lockwood, 1. Donahac, John Drain, Adam Conrad, Eb. Greenlow, Patterson, Lee Newman, Allen Doyle and Mir. Mar shall. This party reached the scene of the search early Wednesday morn ing, but the body of Mir. Rawson was found just as they got there, by the party already on the ground.
 ca Tuesday morning the search had been continued by w. A. Dyer, Mir, Johnson, and boy, the brother- in-law of Doc Withers. During the day they came to the first trail, and camped on it Tuesday night. Early Wednesday morning the search was resumed, the lost trail found, and about nine o'clock the body was dis covered, lying under a fallen log, the face looking as peaceful as il the pooi fellow was only asleep. A few matches were found on the ground, and hi, gun was lying beside him. He had evidently made an effort 10 get his gloves off, to strike a light, for the purpose of making a fire, but could not do so on account Of the cold, then, exhausted, he lay down and went to sleep that had no waking. His death must have been painless, and probably occurred the second day after he was out. ast
 The remains were brought into Flagstaff, drawn on the sleign by the search party. ('rhe horses had been returned unable to travel in the deep snow.) It was slow ard tresome work, and nightfall found them s,,l five miles from town, where they camped, Mir. Robertson walking into Flagstaff to bring the news. On ' Thursday morning before daybreak, Messrs Sam Cole, Al Gregg, Pearce, Bailey, Chas. Grecnlaw, and Hugh Campbell went out to relieve the wearied searchers, and brought in the remains to Mrs. Rawson's resi- dence.
