DEATH IN TERRlBLE FORM.
Skeletons Of Hen Who Terished frem
Hunger and Exposure in
California Valley.

Mute evidences OF the unspeAkable
suffering and horrible deaths OF some
20 men from starvation were found in
the clearing OF the land in the Imperial
valley Of California" said A. II. Heber,
president OF the company which has
reclaimed 100000 acres Of the former
desert, according to the Mexican Her
aid.
These were the Skeletons OF 20 men
which were found In httle lunches Of
i@os and threes bleached and dried by
the fierce desert sun. They constituted
the only traces of men who had prob
ably been missing for years and whose
friends never knew their whereabouts
Some OF these skeletons were found
west OF what Is now Imperial, 10 miles
from the foot OF the mountains or the
open plain They had evidently been
searching for as~w river. stream
which flows about one month In the
year. to drain the desert of it's summer
rains. Their bones were in little piles
a mile from the river Others were
found IN the Alato valley on the east
side Of the Imperial valley between the
sand hills.
But the saddest find was that OF
number OF piles OF bones which showed
that fve men had perished at one time
from thirst within 100 yards OF each
other These bones were scattered all
around, and there we're some traces OF
vehicles in the mountains not far Oh.
where the bones OF animals told the
tale Of starvation which had been the
end OF the little party.
This was the only instance in which
traces OF vehicles were found. and the
supposition Is that most OF the men
whose bones were found had been afoot
and had probably got lost in the desert
while looking for their wagons. This
thing was not uncommon for II Is al

presume his bones will be found some
day"
