German named Keesburg, or Keys
burg, lost his mental balance and be-
came confirmed cannibal lie de-
clared that human flesh to him was
sweetest OF all meats. and he had
mania for chldren's flesh, on one oc-
cason, he picked up an infant and

its brains, then tore it limb from limb
and dovoured che flesh. The mother
after viewing this sight, partially lost
her reason and starved to death, retus-
ing to touch human flesh This same
Keesburg was q thief He stole all
kinds Of articles from the sufferers
and hid them In one big cache, pre-
sumably believing that he could raise
money on them at some future date,
He was discovered at his work or
plumber finally, and was strung up by
the neck until he told where he had
hidden the stolen articles. When the
rcscuing party arrived, keesburg re-
fused to be rescued. He told the others
to leave the dead bodies behind, ms
there was enough food on them, good
enough for anybody to last him until
spring opened up, and he preferred to
remain behind. The party did not de-
sert the unfortunate, however. | can
barely recall that he was brought into
Sacramento,
THE greatest suffering, Of course
was endured by the imprisoned emil
grants, but the life of those who went
TO their rescue was no sinecure AS
have before stated, they were compelled
10 carry their provisions on their backs
up to n certain point and then continue
with only scraps in their pockets over
a part of the perilous route. on one oc-
cason the place where their provisions
were cached was found by bears, ana
upon their return, with famished meme

Mrs. Dodge and the entire family
