special attention, except to Mr.. Mer'

for mining news and he remarked
to his companion as the other auto

Some three miles more was trav-
ersed when the eagle eye of Murphy
described black object to- the right
of and bordering the road. A halt
was made and both dismounted from
the machine and discovered the OBJ
ject to be nothing more than an
automobile robe. This failed to
cause any comment as it is nothing
unusual for a machine to lose a
robe on these desert roads.
The first article of evidence which
pointed toward a tragedy was found
about a mile further when again the
discerning eye of Mr.. Murphy no.
ticed what he thought to be a blonde
lady lying directly in the path Of
the machine. The stop was made
so sudden that Merriman, who was
about half asleep, was precipitated
from the auto head first and landed
in the dust besides the mysterious

object. Jack, on assuming a sitting
position, Immediately noticed the
cause of the sudden stop, which on
being examined, proved to be what
is commonly called a Marcelle wave,
such as are worn by the blondes of
today. And then Jack threw a fit
and wanted to start right back to
Goldfield in search of the one who
boosted of such beautiful hair. But
not so with Murphy, who threw on
the high speed and kept the ma
chine headed for Tonopah. Another
mile had hardly been recorded in
the speedometer, when stop No. 8
was made. This time a wig of the
brunette type was found. This find
was much larger than the blonde
and evidently belonged to a female
of more mature years. After the
matter was discussed it was Murphy
who proposed going back to Gold
field and Merriman who objected.
A heated discussion ensued and it
was finally decided to continue the
trip. When they arrived here their
first act was to notify the police who
started on the still hunt for any fe-
males who had been reported miss
ing. The authorities of Goldfield
were also notified but up to the
hour of going to press nothing of
sensational nature had been discov-
cred.
Now the question as to the iden-
tity of the owners of the wigs arises
and during the few brief hours since
the finding there has been much dis
cussion. Some say that a most brut-
al murder has been committed and
that the murderer left the topnots
OF his victims along the roadside as
a warning to joy riders. Others say
that a band of Piute Indians have
started on the warpath and after
killing two unknown women, scalped
them and during the excitement lost
their trophies.
1t remains for the future to de-
termine the truth, but in the mean
time, both wigs and laprobe are at
the Bonanza office, where they can
be inspected by any who desire.
However, should the owners decide
to call for them they must produce
the women to prove the property
and unless the hair matches identi-
cally to our satisfaction we will
keep the property.
