HOUSES HORRIBLE CRIME

The bodies of the two prospectors, Mum Davis and J. s. Stearns, who were reported as probably murdered by an Indian called Little Mouse, ten miles below Rioville, have been found. Geo w. Beermaker and ex-sheriff J H. Bow. man, of San Bernardino, arrived Tn RiO- vile with this information last Wednes day. The men were found Tn the hills few miles from the river with bullet holes in their heads. The bodies will be taken to Kingman and shipped to San D,ego, If not too badly decomposed. The In dian who committed this foul crime worked in White Hills until the 25th of January. At that time he got drunk, stole horse from white man and Q gun from an Indian and left with the in tention of killing the first white man he met. The Indians were afraid of him and reported the matter to the whites, but nothing was done about it, The Indian crossed the Colorado river at the m u h of the Vegas Wash, but his horse was caught in the qulcksand and finding he could not get hIm out he shot the poor animal dead. Going up the river to a point opposite the camp of Davis and S:earns he hailed Major Greenwalt and as taken to the Arizona side. He re maIned in camp over night and in the | ,S ho ha could show them ledge a few miles away, if they would go with hlm. They told Majo GTeenwdlt to remain in camp and they would be back Tn four hours They never returned. The Indian took them up in the hllls and shot them both Lo deaih, then went to BoLelli Ferry and stole d horse from Joe Perkins As soon as the horse was missed two men took up the trail and followed It to the Vegas ranch several days before and obtained food. The ranch people thought his ac- ton strange, as he had Inquired for lhe Indian camps and beng told that they were qulte near he dashed off into the brush In an opposite direction. The two men returned from the chase of the thief by way of the Vegas Wash and from MaJ)r Green walt learned of the dis appearance of Davis and Stearns. They ther up the river and told him of the af far. Barnes went to Bonelli Ferry and wrote friends of the parties in San Der nardino and Mr. Bonelli com m municaLeu the same facts to the officers here Barnes went back with posse and the search has been unabalting until the bodies were fouud tour days ago.
 The Indian murderer is described as a short stockily built Plute and his special distinction Is rather heavy black moustache. He is said to be crazy, but for his disease hanging is the only sure remedy.
 Mum Davis and James s SIearns went to the Colorado river about ten or twelve miles below Bonelli Ferry last O. tober to prospect number of gravel claims Ill which they and others were interested. Davis has family Tn N itionaI City, Cal ifornia, and Stearns has mo her, Drolher and family in San Diego, but resided in Akron, Ohio.
 The whole country, where the murder was committed is terribly wrought up over the awful crime and summary pun ishment will be meled out to the Indian, if caught

They were not long left in doubt as to who he was as the horseman commenced to shoot at long range. The chase for ten miles was an exciting one The out law was mounted on fleet animal and he would ride we'll ahead and then wheel his horse around and deliberately aim al his pursuers. The bullets sang mel ancholy tune as they sped by the little posse. but bullets were shoWered with lavish hand by the pursuers and as night came on they passed Thompson's cabin, on up d rocky gulch and into the timber Here the robber found himself in a trap and abandoning his horse disappeared in the tangled forest. The posse captured the horse and returned to Thompson's cabin, where they remained for the night. Here they found miscellaneous assortment of plunder, stolen from neigh boring ranches Among the other things they found a pair of pants belonging to the suit worn by the dead robber and on the box in which they lay was the name of Mr. Ayres. The posse, having no feed for their horses, returned to Peach Springs. The dead robber could not be identified, but Mr. Ayres claimed the coat and vest worn by the robber had been stolen from his cab at Pine Springs month ago and that Charles Creighton had been seen in Peach Springs wearing them. Thursday another posse left Peach Springs we'll mounted, armed and pro- visioned to spend considerable time on the trail of the robbers. Sheriff Potts, with deputies Cohenour and Harris, left the Springs in the evening to take up the trail anew. They will stay to a finish The country where the holdup occur red is wild and picturesque region and to the north man could lose himself in the abyrinthine wndings of the Grand and Diamond canyons.
