and carrying with him $1,000 and two
repeating rifles.

Scott s brother, William, at Bennett s
Wells, the miner IS mule galloped rider
less into camp there on Dec: 7, the sad
die pierced with bullet and the blank
ct and saddle covered with blood. lie
is satisfied that Scott has been muir
dered in the desert.
Already thoro search for the miner
has been instituted in Death Valley
and turnout the Funeral mountains.
Scott s brother, accompanied by
Shand Merricks, well-known desert
scout, went back on the trail OF the
miners mule for fifty miles after it
came into camp, but a terrific sand
storm finally wiped out all trace, and ,
their water supply becoming exhausted,
the men were compelled to return to
camp. .;tecs.>, :,
Later they started out again, and the
search is being continued. '<
