Of An Unknown
Man
Thought To Be Tourist
Who Strayed From
Trail

X. n. Cameron was in from the
Grand Canyon Wednesday. lie re.
ports the finding, Monday, near the
river in the canyon the badly decom.
posed body Of man.
The find was made by c. G. Spauld.
ing and Howard Noble, who were
prospecting. In the overcoat were
found copies Of the Los Angeles Times
and San Francisco Examiner Of the
date OF some time in March, 1900. The
body was dressed in a suit OF jeans,
over which was worn blue denim ov.
ershirt and overalls. A pair 81 init.
tens were found near by.
From n hasty examination Of the
body no marks were found that would
indicate that n violent death had oc.
Cured, and from the dress and other
indications, IL IL evident that the man
was a stranger, and that he had prob.
ably become exhausted and laid
down and died where found.
Pat Donavau, a resident Of will
liams, went into the canyon about o
year ago, and has not been heard from
since, and II was at first supposed that
the body was his, but from the do.

trail. ..a.t

finding of the body and set Thursday
for the holding Of an inquest, when
il was expected that something definite
would be developed as to the identity
of the stranger. No report Of the
