ports of members of the party, We would
Judge that sometime during the storm
that he had got dismounted, as not track
of horses hoof can be found within a
quarter of mile of where the body was
found, and that he has been tramping
aimlessly before the wind trying to run
across some of the stock ranches in that
vioenity, but from which he was distant
about fifteen miles, and being overcome
with fatigue, he has lain down to rest and
fallen asleep-the sleep that knows co
waklng,-the remains were destitute of
clothing and in a state of decomposition
which rendered indentifcation by his
pocket knife, and some money that was
not consumed by the prairie fire which
had burned the clothing off his body. The
remains we're brought into his brothers
place Monday morning, and were inferred
in the washburn Cemetery on Monday af-
ternoon, relatives and intimate friends
only being present.
