THE MISSING MAN.

The sudden disappearance of Eau
cett caused suspicion of foul play
in the minds of some, and an attempt
was made to investigate, the result
Of which was that Potts showed a
bill Of sale from Faucet, turning over
all his property to Potts, and both he
and his wife asserted that Faucet
had been suddenly called East on
business. Thus the matter rested
and in September, 1888, Potts and
family removed to Rock Springs,
Wyoming.
George Brewer and wife moved
into the house vacated by Potts, and
about the 10Th Of January, 1880,
Brewer discovered the remains Of a
human being in the cellar. He
called assistance and the greater part
OF the mutilated remains Of q man
were exhumed. A. Coroner's inquest
was held, and the jury returned a
verdict finding the remains to be
those Of Miles Faucet, and accusing
Josiah and Elizabeth Potts of having
murdered him on or about the 1st
day OF January, 1883.
