The dogs were SO exhausted from
starvation that they could scarcely

While the hut was being dug out
the doctor went foraging about, and

hut was completed, had filled II

The American was brought in

around the fire to enjoy then

4 Letter Received in Tomb- stone Alleges that Martin Edwards Collected Funds and Departed for Parts Un- known.
Especial Correspondence,


 TOMBSTONE. Sept. 2o.-For some time past the citizens Of the vicinity of DragoOn have been requesting the Board of Supervisors of Cochise county to build a small branch county jaii at that point The board. follow ing the usual custom, informed the petitioners that it would be necessary for them to secure a lot for the county on which to build the jail and that deed be given to the county for it and then the board would take action on the building of the jail.
 According to a letter received from the justice of the peace at Dragoon, . petition was started among the citi- zens and each contributed toward the amount necessary for the purchase of the lot The matter of circulating the petition and collecting the funds was placed in the hands of Martin Ed wards. who was the constable for the precinct. He collected the money nee essary, something over hundred dollars, but so far has failed to pur- chase the lote and secure a deed for the county, but further has been miss ing from h1s usual haunts and the i'm pression in that section, according to the letter, is that he has left the country. Perhaps he has left to in vesrgate the possibilities of investing the money in lot in some other thriv- Ing community, but the prospects are that he will ere long occupy a place in one or the other jails on a lot that does belong to Cochise county.
