 "I don't care what these sour faced knockers say, little glrl-this is a mighty fine world, and most of the people in it are all right. Nine men out of every ten and nine women out of every ten are true-I believe the proportion even bigger than that-and there's more genuine fidelity right now than there ever was since Adam and Eve took hands and strolled out Of the orchard. But if you look at 'em through smoked glasses you can't see the white that's in 'em, and if you get the notion fixed in your head that they're all black, why, so far as you're concerned, theyll be black.

GENTLEMAN MAKES GRUESOME FIND
 OF SKELETON
DECoMPosED BODY or UNIDENTI FEED MAN DISCOVERED NEAR
 STRAWBERRY HILL

PRESCOTT, Juhe l6.--G. l.. Weston, a cattleman, reached the city recently from Strawberry valley and states that he and a companion found the remains of man near tha; place last Satur- day. They were unable to identify the corpse, and made nasty examination owing to its decomposed nature. Moth ing was found to show who the man was, nor was there any property or trinkets in the pockets of the clothing worn. Their only clue was found near by, and that is but speculative. This was an envelope, torn in two containing the address of "C. c. French.' The right temple showed the result of a contact with some sharp instrument Whether the body bore any other marks they were unable to ascertain.
 The theory is that the deceased was enroute to some point, possibly Globe, and had been in the employ of the Arizona Copper company, but few miles away; and it is probable that he was foully dealt with. At least that is the supposition and the absence of any valuable or other property lends color to the suPposition.
 The dead man was about six feet in height, with sandy beard and hair, but owing to the discoloration of the skin. no clearer description could be ob- tained. He wore tan suit of khaki badly soilcd by usage and a hat of black.
 No effort has been made to have any legal examination made of or to obtain any evidence, as the point at which he was found lies in Gila county, and no official resides within thirty miles of the scene. Mir. Weston himself lives near Winslow and he was hunting horses at the time of making the gruesome dis covery.
 It is considered probable that the de ceased had saved considerable money, having evidently come from southern Arizona. and was returning to the south via the most direct route, hence had se- lected the regularly travelled road to Payson and down the stage road that passed through farming section to Globe and other places in Gila county.
