The Story Concerning Taylor's
Body Was Fake.
WHO FIRED THOSE SHOTS?
A Mysterious Stranger Who Gave an
Incorrect Account OF Himself.
The Searching Party Reinforced, but No
Trace of the Missing j. II. Tay-
lor-A Pickpocket Robs an
ogden Man.

Ea1kSSt lake. At Ss0U tOnlSnb IAE IEh-
AID man returned from the mountains
after assisting for two days in the search
for ]. Henry Taylor, who disappeared so
mysterioasly last Friday, and OF whom
not a single trace has been found since
the finding of the notice posted at the last
claim visited by him on Thursday.
The community was startled by the
story that Taylor's body had been found
at the headwaters of Paradise creek, but
the story was without the slightest foun-
dalton. Two young men came down the
canyon and started the sensational report,
claiming that they had been with the
party which found the missing man.
Mrs. Taylor was notified of the alleged
find and the terrible details of the story !
completely Frustrated her. Her condition
became so alarming that it was necessary |
to call physician. Grave fears are en-
tertained for her recovery.
Ia company with Sheriff Belnap, |
HERALD man left Ogden upon the receipt |
CT the information regarding the alleged !
find of the body, and by travelling far |
into the night reached Eden and stayed |
the remainder OF the night at Bishop |
Ferrans. Before the sun had risen, in |
company with a small party of mounted |
searchers, the sheriff and scribe, made |
the mouth of the canyon leading back |
into the range of mountains, on which |
Taylor was supposed to be, where the
ascent began. About 10 O'Clock the |
party had reached the summit and the
vicinity of Taylor's claim, where it was
augmented by about thirty men who had
gone up the night before A small party
had been searching continuously for six
days.
All day the search was continued, and
section of country five miles by five was
covered very closely. Two riders were
also sent down Paradise canyon toward
Cache valley. but they returned before
night without having found any signs.
Nothing new was developed by the
days search, and a number of men re-
turned tonight. Many OF the party re-
manned, however, and will search until
Sunday night before giving up.
Who fired these three shots, heard so
distinctly on Friday night at the top of
the mountain near Taylor's last claim,
is still mystery and although the vicin-
lily has been most carefully searched, no
tokens of violence have been discovered.
Many theories are advanced and the opin-
ions are at great variance. A great many
believe Taylor has been killed and his body
either secreted OF carried away. Others
thins he has hidden in the timber and
rocks and committed suicide, while many
are of the opinion that he has deserted his
family and gone into the northern
country.
en- Saturday morning the sheep herders
saw a man with pick in the mines near
Taylor's claim. When asked who he
was and where his camp WIS the stranger
answered that ne was prospector and
his camp was at the head of the canyon.
4 search was instituted later in the day
and neither the man or his camp could
be found.

George J. Woods, an Ogden resident,
had his pockets relieved of S1S5 in coin
and 50, 600 in promissory notes while
boarding a Denver & Rio Grapde east
bound train at the Union Pacific depot.
He announced his loss to the police as
soon as possible, but the birds had flown.
Ii was stated by bystanders that Woods
could have caught the pickpocket had he
attempted to do so, instead OF looking for
the a'finest.1
