Last night about 5 o'clock Sheriff
Charles 81. Wallis arrived in the city
from long drive into the Plateau canon,
accompanied by Blanche Shurts, the
young girl who disappeared from her
homo in this city on tho night OF the 5th

The wanderings of tho young woman
and the manner OF her disappearance
form a tale that has gotten two yeung
men into trouble.
Immediately on the arrival in this city
of Sheriff Wallis warrants were eworp
out against two young men we'll known
here, John William johnson and James
Peter johnson, sons of Peter johnson,
ST.. charging them respectively with kid
mapping and rape.
1t appears that the young woman, &C
cording to her own story, did not leave
the city on the night Of her disappear
ance. She was taken by the brothers to
sister of theirs in this city and kept ir
hiding while the officers were making
their hunt for the girl. Friday night
tho officers were hot on tho trail OF these
youngmen, fearing detection they cropped
the hair OF the young girl close to her
head, dressed her in boys clothing and
John William johnson, who is charged
With kidnapping, the girl, started with
her from this city. Friday night they
spent in the vicinity of the Oldham fats
Saturday morning they were at Palisade

Word reached the officers of this city
and Sheriff Wallis started after the girl
on Saturday. On Sunday, some time in
the forenoon, he found her in the canon
about fourteen miles east OF Palisades
walking along dressed in the garb the
young men furnished her in this city
and headed toward Plateau.
She was placed under arrest by the
sheriff and brought to this city, arriving
hero last night dressed in male attire.
r On the girls own information the two
young men were arrested. They were
brought before Judge Sweeney this morn
ing waived and examintion, and placeo
under q bond of $500 each, which

FOUND DEAD.
Rufus Sarsen Found by His Son
on Lonely Road With His
Throat Cut.

On Thursday afternoon Rafus Sarsen
an old gentleman who has lived in Aspen
for many years, left the city in company
with another man and proceeded up the
Roaring Fork river to do some work.
That night about o'clock the horse he
had driven up the river came home, the
harness all being tied up nicely as
though the animal had been sent home.
Friday morning the old gsntlsman's
son Rufus went up the river to see what

standing in the middle of the road, with
the dead body Of his father lying across

wound on the person was visible, cut
under the jaw bone on the left side,
which undoubtedly, from the quantity
of bleod shed, cut the jugular vein.
The mittens of tho deceased were in
his coat pocket, his watch was on his
person and a pocket-book containing
$3.50 was also in his pocket
Rufus Sarsen was about 53 years OF
age. He had been around this section OF
country some twenty years. He had .
ranch on Brush creek where he raised
vegetables. He had also been cutting
wood out in that neighborhood. He was
Nova Scotian by birth.-Aspen Times.
Later-It developed that Sarssn was
accompanied up river by Charles Brady,
who had been partner in log cutting
contract with Sarsen. Henry G. Rogers,
saw mill IN an, had seen and talked with
the men not far from whore the body OF
Sarsen was found. Both men had liquor
with them and had been drinking. While
Sarsen was talking with Rogers, Brady
got in the sleigh and drove off up the
river. Sarsen was somewhat angered at
this and made some threatening remarks
as he started on after Brady.
At o'clock this afternoon the dead
body of Charles Brady was found in the
timber on Castle creek, less than half
mile from Aspen. Whom discovered the
body was lying across 45-7O Winches-
ter rife with the whole top of his head
shot away from what was undoubtedly
eelf-inflicted wound. 1t is believed that
in a quarrel between the two men Thurs
day, Brady had drawn a knile and
slashsd his friend and partner with fatal
results, and that in fit OF remorse bad
came to Aspen, procured his ride and
turned it against himself.

sertion that she had consulted the most
eminent physicians Of the United States,
but that they could do nothing for her.

OF observations entirely independent of
