FINDS OLO RIFLE
ON THE DESERT

Z. A. Smith returned Saturday
from Jordan valley. Ore. via
National. with load of passeng-
ers from the latter place.
Mr.. Smith brought with him an
old rifle which he found Friday on
the Owyhee desert about l25 miles
north of Winnemucca under some
what unusual circumstances. If
the gun can be Unidentified it may
lead to clearing away the mystery
surrounding the death of some
man years ago out on the Owhyee
desert.
AS Mr.. Smith was riding along
in his machine he spied band of
antelope about 500 yards away
running towards a cliff of rocks.
He reached for his rifle and fired
at the biggest antelope just as it
rearhed the top of the cliff. The
animal disappeared on the other
side and thinking he had killed it
Mr.. Smith climbed to the top of
the cliff to investigate. He
found no dead or wounded ante
lope, hut saw the entire band
running in the distance. Looking
around on the other side of the
cliff he saw an old rifle lying
among the rocks and d short dis
tance away the skeleton of horse
saddle and bride lying among the
bones. Making further search he
discovered pack saddle and a
lumber IF articles of camping
outfit. hut did not find any human
bones.
Mr.. Smith brought the rifle to
town on the chance that it might
be identified. 1t is an old mo del
Winchester with the stock cracked
and badly worn showing that it
had been used a great deal. On
one side of the stock is cut the
initials "F. A." and on the other
the letters -. A."
The plsce of the find is one Of
the loneliest and widest in the
country being quite a distance
away from the only road in that
part of the Owyhee desert
