who had apparently been dead
for several days and was thought
to have been murdered. JUS

Yesterday afternoon. Upon arriving
in San Benito and making few in
oniries. it was found that it was the
old cry of wolf as no sign OF
dead man could be found nor any
one who knew anything about
dead mans body being found
The report appeared to have been
aased upon rumor that Mexican
had found some blood in the brush
which came out of fresh mound OF
Garth that looked like recently
made grave. a most diligent search
for this Mexican was made by JUS
tioe Gavito and Deputy Sheriff Lon
qor;a assisted by Constable Joseph
Row of San Benito, but they failed
TO ind him.
Judge Gavito states that few
nights ago an American farmer liy-
ing near San Benito heard some one
il his melon patch, whereupon he
fsa into the ali to brighten the IN
truder away, and he is of the opilion
that some one hearing the shot, sup
posed that a man had been killed
started the rumor in that way
A deputy was sent to San Benitc to
day to make further investigation
of the matter, however.
