Following closely upon the report ap-
pearing in the Standard Saturday of
Joe Burton seeing H.. j. Burleigh in
fOrtlanO, near the nrSt or this month,
the news that Mr.. Burleigh took
breakfast at a farm house near Roch-
ester, Madison county. last Tuesday, the
18th inst. Sheriff Padley received a let
ter from Mr.. j. r. Stark of Twin
Bridges. dated the 18th, in which III
says: II was in Rochester to-day and
Mrs. f. Mueller. living two miles below
Rochester. IL positive II. ]. Burleigh
was at her house yesterday Monday
morning. Mrs. Mueller says he ate
breakfast, and said he was on his way
to Virginia City. He was walking and
looked as though he had been drinking
heavily of late. He wore a gray suit,
but a no overcoat. He exhibited a
miners candlestiek, which he said he
got at the Hale house fire and which he
expected to sell as a memento. No one
has seen him pass through the Bridges
yet" Mrs. Mueller, who makes the
above statement, is acquainted with
Mr.. Burleigh, as her husband had him
employed in a law suit several years
ago. n Mrs. Mueller had met him
several times. Sheriff Padley has in
stituted inquiries looking to the verif-
cation of Mrs. Mueller's statement. but
so far has learned nothing to corrobo,
rate 1t. 1t is believed here that Mrs.
Mueller must have been mistaken in
the man. as Mr.. Burleigh is too well
known throughout Madison county to
wander around unseen by other people.
