his brother Lew would undoubtedly
have bled to death. A string was tied
tightly about the arm above the cut
and he came post haste to town for
treatment. DR.. Kenney dressed the
wound and if nothing unforeseen arises

De Lamar CNev) Lode: Last
Tuesday three men, two brothers
by the name of Fish and one
named Harrison, arrived in town
nearly exhausted and reported to
Deputy Sheriff Johnson that another
man whose name is supposed to be
Harry Harrison was lost and about
persisted. The party of four started
about the 10th of last month to go to
Vanderbilt and was led by one of the
party who said he knew the road,
which afterwards proved different. At
ter leaving here they missed the right
road and did not strike Meadow Valley
Wash at all, as was intended, but
saw mill and in a country with no
water. At this point they separated
and the Fish brothers and Mr.. Harri
son started back, leaving the fourth
party alone. He had been without food
or water for several days before his
associates reached town and must have
suffered g great deal.
Immediately, Jake Johnson and Mr..
Harrison started out to hunt the miss
ing man through a country that was
very rough and dry. After tracking
the lost party for nearly 100 miles, they
gave up the search and reached town
Thursday night. A party with Indians
set out but they also returned Satur-
day evening, with no better results
than the first party. 1t is now summed
up that the missing man persisted in
the mountains near where the last
tracks We're visible and died a most
agonizing death.
This experience is a warning to
others that may start on the same trip,
as too much caution cannot be taken
in crossing the deserts this time of the
year when many of the usual watering
places are dried IN.
