Edward H. Owen, clerk of the United

commissioner, yesterday afternoon re-
ceived a telegram from Acton stating
that his Oldest boy, Edward Fairfax

miiiarly known as "Bunnie" and on last
Sunday departed on hunting trip with
some companions How he met his
death, whether by accidental or inten-
tional shooting. was not stated in the
telegram, but probably the former.
The father left at once for the scene
intending to bring the body home, but
sent a message to the coroner. dated at
Ravenna, asking DIR. Campbell to au-
thorize Judge Clayton of Lang's station
to hold the inquest that he might be
able to take the body and bring it back.
The coroner was not to be found, having
been called to Lordsburg to investigate
the death of a man named Cummings
who expirecfrom heart disease.
A. w. Hutton. friend of the family,
spent the entire evening in hunt for
the coroner or some one to authorize the
holding of the inquest 80 that the be-
reaved father might obtain the corpse of
his child.
