A special dispatch to TIE TRIBUNE
received last night over the Lewistown
telephone line states that tho searching
party which left Sand CouIee for the
Sheep Creek country about two weeks
ago, to search for the body Of AL Vernon,
has returned without finding any trace
of the missing man, except belt which
he wore around his person when he was

the minds of the party that Vernon has
been murdered but it is not likely that
anything more will ever be known.
