he was seen to stop, and, leaning

Arizona Woman Learns
 Fate of Husband
FAMILY OF ADAM TElFER LEARN OF TRAGIC DEATH OF MISS
 ING MAN.
Who Met Mysterious Death in Mex ico-Theory of Robbery or Lost on Desert.

The strange and for a time unac- oountable disappearance of Adam Tel fer, former well known man in Ari- zona, who was last heard from in the State of Sonora, Mexico, the 12th cay of last April, has been explained by the finding of whitened skeleton in the desert sands about 100 miles south of Nogales on the Mexican side.
 Letters found in the clothing, which still clung about the skeleton, proved conclusively that the bleached bones were the remains of Adam Tel fer, who while wandering on the des- ert was either murdered by outlaws or perished for food and water.
 The Fl Paso Herald says: The dead mans widow, who, with three chil- dren, and one of them a grown son. resides in this city at 40 Hill street, received the intelligence of the find ing of the body through a Mexican mining man who came up from So- nora a few days ago.
 He is believed to have been mur- dered for his money.

 The City was represented in the Supreme Court by Messrs. Pickett & Bowman, and the case was argued by them at the January term last, and Messrs. Street & Alexander represent ed the Valley Bank.
