Clears Up Mystery.
The return of julius Loego to Den
yer clears up in part what was thought
to be murder committed on the
deserts of Mexico; but Loego's 81
lence on certain qgestions involves
another mystery that has yet to be
solved
Fifteen years ago, according TO Nc
Kay's story, he was staying in El
Campo, near the Lower California and
Mexico line In earlier days he had
known julius Loego in the mining
camps at Leadville. Loego had drift

Body Identified.
The Two men Travelled in n wagon
and camped out as travellers did IN
those days. They left El Campo one
day in the fall of 1891. Two days later
a prospecter came into El Campo and
reported that he had run across the
remains of man in a rav,ne and
were near by A party was sent out,
accompanied by The coroner aud Nc
Kay,
The body of the man had been so
mutiated by wolves that recognition
was difficult A bullet hole showed
in the head just back OF the right ear
An old silver watch in the mans
pocket bore the name of Julius Loego
Mckay then recognized the clothes as
those worn by Loego.
The body was taken TO El Campo
where an inquest was held. Loego's
wife. who al that time lived at San
Diego, was notified and she appeared
at the inquest and positively identified
the body as being hat Of her husband.
Buriel was al the little cemetery
near FL Campo. and Mckay acted as
one of the pallbearers. Although a
search was made for the man who
arted out with Loego no trace Of
him was ever found Thai was the
last heard of julius LCego until he
walked into the News.Times off ce and
nearly scared the jantor out of his
wits.
Done to Deceive wife,
Loego was questioned by McKay
about who the man was he had helped
bury and how he came to his death
but Loego evaded the question Of who
the man was. but said a ruse was
worked to make his wife. Mrs. Loego,
believe he had been murdered.
He said he had been al through
Old Mexca. South America and the
Yukon gold fields anG was now on
his way TO South Afrca. He chat
ted away with Mckay and said he
would be back 10 see him later. but
he never returned.
Mckay is now wondering whether
he had a vision or whether the man
he thought he helped bury fifteen
years ago really stood before him
The fact that the boys about the office
saw him talkiCg to a strange man re-
