who has been mourncd rs dead for quar-
ter Of q century, has just come TO light.
The hero Of the story is an old man named
Andrew j. Joyce, who is now seventy five
years Of age. Ills whereabouts were dis
covered through the mcrcst chance. Tho
beginning of the story dates back to times
Of the late war, At the beginning Of tho

possessed Of quito a number OF slaves and
was quito prominent in the State Of Gcor-
gia about 1864. lie lett his place OF
residence with quite number OF negroes,
which he disposed Of and converted the
proceeds Of the sale into tobacco. From that
time TO the present his friends had never
before heard OF him. 1t was thought that
hc had met a band OF guclrillas who
killed him aud robbed him Of his possess
siuns, and under this impression his family
rested until the 18th vt this month when
Judge I. j. llumphrics, of this city, aud
Clerk Of the Circuit Court, received a
dingy-looking letter from New Or
leans stating that the writer's namo was
A. j. joyce. and that hc had Just

He WOu1dn't Dance,

Buffalo Echo: A party Of which
John Luman is member came over
the range last Wednesday, bringing
the news that D. V. Bayne, quiet and
law-abiding settler, had shot and killed
Hank German, familiarly known as
Big Hank, a reckless cowboy working
for the Loomis outfit. 1t seems that
German, while under the influence Of
liquor, went to Bayne's ranch on Paint
Rock and tried to make him dance at
the point of the sixshooter. Bayne Or
dered him out Of the house and he
mounted his horse and returned to the
saloon, saying as he left that he would
come back and kill him. True to his
word, German presently returned with
some companions and ordered the
ranchman out. Bayne came to the
door armed with Winchester, and see
ing the cowboy with cooked revolver
in his hand, fred-the ball entering
Hanks left side and coming out under
the right arm-from the effect of which
the victim died that night Bayne gave
himself up to the authorities, and the
general belief is that the deed was justi-
fable.

Gently married his own niece. the
daughter of his brother. Upon this
point those who know the parties do
not disagree, and even in details there
is wonderful assumption Of knowl-
edge pointing to the fact as being cor
rect. The girl, it is said, is considerably
younger than her uncle, and for some
time he has been a semi-guardian to
her. Nst long ago, according to the
story, he sent her from Montana to an
adjacent point and then, following,
married her and returned to the terri
tory, much to the Indignation Of her
parents and some of their intimate
friends. If the degree of consanguinity
be as stated the man is liable to severe
prosecution and it is whispered that
the matter will be brought to the atten-
tion of the grand jury when it next as
sembles. In the meantime it is under
stood that the parties are living together
as man and wife.

three whites by the Kootenai's, in MIS-

alton to avenge their death by the settlers
there, the following letter from settler
will prove of interest: "Hcre we are, all

Elliott's down, except Henry Bartlett's,
are here. Those above Elliott's on this
side have gone to the Sheldon school
house; those on the east side have retired
to Ashley. The trouble arose from the
lynching of two Indian murders at Penny's

ais have taken the war path. A squad of

the purchase Of the Arizona mines, but
am not at liberty to give the details. .
Continuing, Mr.. Clark said that the
Arizona properties leased by him are
known as the United Verde mines.
There are some eight or ten in the
group. They were worked quite ex-
tensively in 1884, but not much since.
The San Pedro mine is the name
of the New Mexico property.
The United Verde group show plenty
of ore Of good grade. There is smelt-

the mine Mr.. Clark says his product
here will be about 26 block copper and
the balance high grade matte. 1t is "a
