 To Whom Credit Is Due.
 To MT. D. Bernhard is due much crediu in locating the remains. On the nlsnt following the finding of the remains ana from tbe description given of the man MT. Bernhard felt positive Of the man, but would not say anything until he was certain. Knowing that MT. FelloWheld had been in the employ of MT. House at Mary Lee, he endeavored to get mes sage to him, and on yesterday MT. House came to the city and testified before the coroner's jury verifying MT. Bernhards suspicious.
 Found the Mans Watch.
 While seeking for proofs of his opinion MT. Bernhard accidentally found MT. Fellowfields watch in pawnshop. This find gave MT. Bernhard the idea that the man had met with foul play, and after redeeming the watch he instructed the paWnbroker to be on the lookout and in the event any one brought the pawn ticket there for redemption to hold the party and inform him at once.
 Fay It in the Papers. MT. House, who identified the chattels of the dead man and by his description succeeded in unraveling the mystery, first heard of the find through the local press, and on yesterday came to the city to examine the things He described and readily identified the spectacles, saving that he had used them often and had learned the time of day by the watch many times and oft.
 Thus has a mystery been unraveled which for a time seemed destined to baf- f1e the keen eye of the law.
