The | Mexican's hat was torn on the right | side, while there was also a burned | spot on the right side of his head, and marks on his horse indicated | that the deadly bolt had struck | him on the right side also. Moth | ing was found on either whereby i they could be identified, but from the position in which they were 1 found it is supposed that the Mexi- | can was going down the valley and 1 had come from Jerome. The horse was buckskin in color. The body was buried near where it was found DISTRICT COURT.
