Stivers Mining Company vs., w. M.

of the action; that the allegations of the
complaint do not constitute cause Of
action; that, if this action is one in eject

DEAD IN THE MOUNTAINS.
Body of an Unknown Man Found in the
Highwoods.

Body OF an Unknown Man round IN the
Highwoods.
A special dispatch, to THE TRIBUNE
from Geyser states that the body Of an
unknown man was found Saturday
morning at the foot Of lIighwood peak,
about 20 mlles north of Geyser The
body was not disturbed, but was covered
with a blanket and guarded, pending
the arrival Of Justice William MacQueen
of ArmingtoD, who will conduct cor
oner's inquest.
The particulars obtainable at Geyser
are meHger, but it appears that the mans
boot and spur were first found and, fol-
lowing the trail, the discoverers soon
found the body.
The body is that of man about 20
years of age and from his dress, it is
judged that he was cowboy.
The dispatch states that the presump-
ton is that he tied a picket rope that
was on his horse to his leg and the ami
NAL dragged him to death, but as the
examination was only cursory, this opin-
ion may be wrong.
