(From Thursday's Daiiy)

Through the medium of cheek which hc cashcd in the Bashford. Burm. istcr establishment, inc name of the unknown man who died at the doors of the county jail, Saturday, came to light yesterday.
 As indicated on the cheek the name of the unfortunate man was x. Con. nors, but little can be learned as to his previous history. None of his rcla. tivcs have been located, but sheep shcarers, who worked with him at Bcardsley, Maricopa county, state that he claimed to hail from Lawrence, Mass, and had some relatives there. Before he left Bcardslcy he signifed his intention of returning to Lawrence as soon as he became possessed of suf. fcicnt money to pay his fare and cx. penses.
 w. x. Pratt, timekccpcr of the Beardsley camp, instructed Connors to have his cheek cashcd on his arrival here at the Bashford Burmistcr com. pany office When Connors entered the office to have the check cashcd, C. N, Binford, assistant treasurer. noticed that he had a number of letters in his pocket, none of which were found on his person after death.
 Apparently he lost the letters during his spree, but the discovery of some of the missives may yet aid in the To. cation of some of his relatives or throw some light on his previous history or place of nativity.
