murdered and his body thrown into
the Walker river. 1t has never been

last week, while some persons were

some clothes were dug up that had
blood stains on them. There was a
coat and a pair 81 overal!s. They had
been considerably worn aud were Of II
large size. The people OF the valley
are considerably excited over the dis
covery and think they can o ferret
out tho murderer or murde reSs. 1t

was committed that Indians were the
