of Ehrenberg. The Adams brothers, who have been prospecting ln the vicinity oi Ehrenberg, brought the news, and there can now be no doubt that the young man has mlseraDly per1shed of thirst.
 Kerley, who is well known Tn Phn' nix, was a native of Mexla, Texas, and was 37 years of age. He has for years been miner and prospector, and when he last left Agua Cal1ente, about a month ago, he spoke hopefully of the future of prospect he had discovered on the California side of the Colorado river, near Ehrenberg, and assured hls aunt that from the mine he expected enough wealth to make him indepenent for the balance of his life.
 He went to his claim by way oi Yuma and the Colorado, but in return ing preferred the shorter way across the terrible, dry desert that fills almost the whole of the interior Of Yuma county. The distance to Agua Caliente would thus be much shortened, and he expected to do some prospecting on the way through an almost unexplored region. His horse had been tired out by his long ride, so was exchanged at Ehrenberg for mule.
 On the third day after his departure, the mule came back to the Adams brothers camp at Ehrenberg. riderless and without saddle or even rope. The Adams brothers immediately took up Kerley's trail and followed it closely for more than twenty miles. They found where he had turned of and made camp at water hole near a )desert butte. It was here that the mule escaped. Kerley had taken up the pur- suit of the mule on foot, and the double trail was followed till sand storm arose and obliterated all evidence of either. The water and provisions of the trailers failing, they returned to Ehrenberg, but not till they had dem onstrated beyond doubt that their friend had perished. The Adams brothers will again take up the search from Ehrenberg in few days, but will go only to find the body of the un- fortunate.

G. AR. Cheap Railroad Excursion

c. A. R. Cheap Railroad Excursion.
 The wisdom of the national commit tee in selecting a city so centrally To- cated, easy ot access, as Louisville, Ky, for the twenty-ninth annual encamp- ment of the Grand Army of the Repub- lie, Septem Der 11th to 14th, is fully justified, judging from the numerous inquiries received from all parts of the country relative to transportation facili' ties, passenger rates. limits of tickets, etc.
 In anticipation of very large atten' dance, the Baltimore & Ohio South western railway (formerly the o. & M. R'y), the leading route to Louisville from the west, north and east, has made preparations to afford visitors every facility, both in the way of low rates and fast trains, handsomely and comfortably equipped. from all it's ter minal points. Three daily trains St. Louis to Louisville; two trains daily | (except Sunday Beardstown and Springfield to Louisville; three daily trains Cincinnati to Louisville; two daily trains Parkersburg to Louisville. 1 Rate via B. & 0. S-W By will not ex- ceed one cent per mile. Tickets will be on sale September 9th to 11th, in- elusive, good returning until October 9th, 1895.
 One of the principal events following the close of the encampment will be the dedication of the Chickamauga Nation al Military Park, Chattanooga, Tenn. to which excursion rate from Louis- vile, Ky, will not be higher than one cent per mile. In addition there will be cheap excursions run from Louis vile to the various bsttlefelds in the vicinity. The citizens of Louisville are unit in their expression of according to their guests royal eutertainme nt during the encampment.
 Any further particulars desired will be cheerfully furnished on application to A. c. Goodrich, passenger agent oi the B. & o. S-W. Ry., Kansas City Mo-, or to J. M. Chesbrough, genera passenger agent. St. Louis Mo.

WAS IT TEDDY BURNS?
Unknown Dead Man Found in
 CochiSe.
The Body May Have Been That of Prospector We'll Known
 In Arizona.

From the Tomb bstone Prospector.
 The decomposed body of 8 man lately found near Bryant's ranch, in the Chir- icahuas, is believed in Tucson to be all that is mortal of Teddy Burns. Burns was a prospector well known through southern Arizona. If one place more than another was his home It was Tue son, where his only living relative, 8 sister. resides. The "Star" says he has not been there for months, but his ab- eence created no alarm. The only means of identifying the skeleton found in the Chiricahuas from any other skeleton was the absence of portions of the second, third and fourth fingers from the right hand. Those fingers were missing from Burns right hand having been crushed by pile driver when he was employed in the onstruc- tion of the dam of the Gila Bend Re- servoir and Irrigation company. Frag- ments of the hair lying near the skull showed it to be of a sandy color and Burns had such hair. For these req sons It is feared that the skeleton was all that exists of Teddy Burns.
 buTns was DouL 10 y staie oiu aAo hao lived in the territory for fifteen years, He was 8 man of some education and an expert accountant. He had been employed as a clerk or bookkeeper by various Tucson firms and had been a clerk at Bowie. He was also the owner of store in 8 camp near there. He was an excellent penman and after the loss of the fingers of his right hand he became an adept penman with his left For several years he has been engaged in prospecting.
 Teddy Burns was well known to all old timers in Tom bstone, being at one time bookkeeper and general business manager for Jimmy Carr.

To Explore the Bitter Root Mountains.


The United States government Is max
ing arrangements this year 70 send an
exploring party into the Bitter Root
mountains and the Clearwater country
and make complete map of that prac-
tically unknown land. The expedition VIII
be under the command of an experienced
officer and will consist OF TWO companies
OF soldiers and a number of scientists.
biologists. engineers and botanists who
will take careful observations of the
general formation of the country and
make a record OF everything found OF
scientific interest in their explorations.
The expedition Will start from Elk City
and will remain IA the country as long as
possible. II is thought that there is
rich mineral field in that section of the
country which could be opened up and
developed II there were only a few roads
or trails. Some exceedinly rich float has
been found which must have come from
some interior part OF the Bitter Root
range. but the inaccessible clrlracter
Of the country has always deferred the
prospectors from going in. Several par
ties have made the attempt. but IL has
always been a hazardous undertaking and
each year several lives have been lost
IL is this fact that has determined the
government 10 send well-equfpped and
provisioned body OF men through the
country 10 make a complete map and es-
tablish trails. The scenery is considered
the grandest In the world and the mount
aims abound with game. 1t Is an impor-
tant expedition and the results of the trip
will be eagerly awaited not Only in the
West but throughout the country where
ever the story OF the wanderings OF the
famous Carlin party has been told.

petit larceny OF voting its members si0

least A hundred OF that notorious body

among thalr several constituencies. It
has been notorious that public documents
apportioned to congressman were usually

stores. To whose proprietors the thrifty
members had disposed OF them for con-
alteration. but THIS is the first time that
their direct connection with the sale Of
seeds has been made public. When u Is
reflected that probably not 2 per cent
of those who make laws In the lower
house OF congress could sell their vaiu-
able services for half the salary they
draw from Uncle sam. IL IL perhaps not
singular that this class 81 statesmen
should reach for everything In sight when
given opportunity. Especially Is this true
