A MYSTERY OF THE HILLS

Wednesday afternoon while Mr..
and Mrs. George Baker were riding
in the cedars, about four miles
south of John 7. Wright's ranch on
the Humboldt, their attention was
attracted by pile of steel traps.
They made an investigation and
found the skeleton of a man, a
Winchester rifle, a cartridge belt,
partly full of cartridges, a pair of
overalls and jumper, a powder
flask and numerous other articles.
They reported the find to the offic-
ers and this fornoon Constable
Ouderkirk went out and gathered
up the skeleton ard all the articles
he could find and brought them to
town.
A careful examination failed to
reveal anything that would lead to
the Identification of the man or the
manner of his death. The skull
was found about forty feet from
the other remains in a ravine. A
small hole in the skull looks as if it
might have ben made by a bullet
or the sharp point of a pick.
The skeleton is that Of man
six feet tall. 1t has evidently laid
where found four or five years
as part of the stock of the rifle has
rotted away and the barrel is
covered with thick coat If rust.
The overalls and jumper seem to be
fairly well preserved. The size of
the overalls is 1872.
The skeleton aid other articles
were taken to the morgue and will
be held for few days to see if
any thing can be learned that will
lead to the Identification of the
remains.
Coroner Morgan requests any
one having any knowledge of the
disappearance of a trapper four or
five years ago to communicate
with him. That this man was a
trapper is evidenced by the steel
traps found with his remains.
