 In July or August, 1900, William J. Berrie, father of the Berrie boys on Lynx, while on his way from Missouri to Prescott disappeared as mysterious ly as though he had been swallowed up by the earth. The last heard of him was Holbrook. Failing to reach Prescott, his boys instituted a search for him and kept it up for several months but no trace of the missing man could be found. Last week a sheep man discovered his skeleton at the junction of Grape vine and Can yon Diablo. The indications were that he had become lost and perished from lack of water Seventy nine cents were found in the pockets of his clothes.

 Mrs. Mary Bowen, president of the Woman's Relief Corps, left today for Los Angeles having in charge the three little children of Mrs. Hill, the woman who was brought to the coun- ty hospital few weeks ago from the Verde Valley. Mrs. Hill is an invalid and unable to take care of the child ren who seem to be bright little tots, one a little girl seven years old, and the other two twin boys about two years old. The relief corps had be- come interested in the sad case and the supervisors had agreed to pay the expenses of the trip if Mrs. Bowen would take the children to the orph- ans home in Los Angeles. This she gladly consented to do. The mother will be sent to PheniX in few days and will be taken care of at the Crit tendon Rescue Home. The care is a very sad one indeed and the good women who have taken hold for the children's sake are doing noble work.
